ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥

There’s bacon, in a slew of bacon-inspired dishes by a handful of ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Originals restaurants.

The beer is from a pair of ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ brewers — and — and the blues are courtesy of a band with a name that reminds us of our favorite cheap wine given an inflationary price increase: 5 Buck Chuck.

The event runs from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 25, at Brother John’s, 1801 N. Stone Ave. Tickets are $45 in advance through , $55 at the door.

This is the first “Bacon, Blues and Brewsâ€� event since 2018 and the fourth since ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Originals launched the event in 2016, said the organization’s Vice President Matt Cable, who owns on East Speedway and is a partner in on East Tanque Verde Road.

Here’s a quick peek at what you can expect Sunday.

Bacon-inspired small plates: Our imagination is running wild, especially when we consider the lineup of restaurants and talented chefs participating. You can bet they are thinking outside the box for this one.

The participating restaurants: Brother John’s Beer, Bourbon & BBQ; ; (helmed by the 2022 ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Iron Chef Kenneth Foy); ; (with former Iron Chef Wendy Gauthier); ; ; Fresco Pizzeria; ; Zio Peppe; and .

Ice cold craft beer: We all have our favorites from these two breweries, but it’s a safe bet that Barrio will pull out its legendary ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Blonde and refreshing Citrazona. We’re not sure what FireTruck will be pouring, but we’re rather fond of the firefighter-owned-and-inspired brewery’s Dunkal and their Heatwave Hefeweizen.

Live blues: Frankly, we’re a little stumped about the band. We did a Facebook and social media search and Googled the name to no avail. But with the name 5 Buck Chuck, we’re thinking they have stories to tell.

Your ticket gets you three drink tickets and all the bacon dishes you can eat.
