Oh Lordy!
This year for Super Bowl, we went an easier route than years past and spent our evening at our local brewery, Whitestone Brewery. They had a party and are one of our favorite new places so we wanted to give them some support. For each beer we bought, we got a raffle ticket to win prizes. We placed our tickets in a fish bowl with our favorite team(Broncos) and they drew a ticket for each touchdown and after each quarter. Mike wound up winning a free beer at some point during the evening. Whitestone always has a food truck to serve delicious eats and Sunday was no exception. The featured food truck was Lard Have Mercy and it served bacon inspired dishes. We were both pretty hungry so we decided to give it a try. Mike ordered the Pig Sty, a bacon wrapped hot dog served with bacon fries. I opted for the Boom Chicka Wow Wow, chicken fried chicken strips withe bacon fries served buffalo style. We were both happy with our main dishes, but the fries were lacking. The fries had great flavor, but were soggy. Mike thinks they were fried and then drizzled with bacon grease, which made them limp. Despite the fries, we loved our meals and would love to try their pork nachos or monte cristo sandwich. We enjoyed our low key Super Bowl and Lard Have Mercy was a fun treat.
