It's that time again for the 3rd annual Bacon Week at Whitlow's own Restaurant 3. They will start off with a Patio Pig Roast on Oct 13 which will feature $5 pulled pork sandwiches and American craft beer specials.

Restaurant 3 is offering a Bacon Curing Class on 10/16 at 3pm. Then throughout the week, you can stop by their "Bacon Stand" where you can try a complimentary taste of their house-cured Bacon-to-Go. Until Oct 22 they will offer a daily Bacon Happy Hour, where guests can feast on bacon bites such as the new bacon cheese dip over bacon dusted chips or thebacon on a stick and enjoy $3 craft beer draft specials.

Harry's Tap Room Brunch

Harry’s Fruitarian $16

Florentine Benedict with Spinach $13

I was lucky enough to be joined by friends for a Sunday brunch today at Harry's Tap Room. The upstairs dinning area is large and very high up, as the winding staircase doesn't seem to end. But they do have an elevator available for special needs guests. The added height does afford customers a nice view of the local streets below.

Their brunch menu does look delicious, although it is pricey. Don't miss out on the extras:

• Bacon - Get extra orders of their extremely tasty and cinnamon like flavored bacon strips
• Breakfast Potatoes - addictive and delicious if you like home style fries
  

Bacon Week Returns to Restaurant 3

Bacon Week is returning to Clarendon's Restaurant 3 this month. Last June the Travel Channel showed up and filmed them for their "Food Paradise" series. Now the same people who manage Whitlow's is having a 2nd Annual "Week of Bacon" on October 14th to 21st.

Restaurant 3 will offer a Bacon Tasting Dinner on the patio and a Bacon Brunch for diners to taste the various styles of house-cured bacon. Each day for the duration of the festival the restaurant will offer a daily Bacon Happy Hour, where guests can feast on bacon bites such as bacon on a stick and bacon-wrapped shrimp and wash it all down with $3 craft beer draft specials.

Travel Channel @ Restaurant 3 and Bacon Week

This Tuesday the Travel Channel was filming at Whitlow's owned Restaurant 3 for their bacon themed "Food Paradise" series. This was an exciting and busy night for the relatively new restaurant, especially with the warm weather and free pulled pork BBQ sandwiches attracting people to the outside seating.

Restaurnt 3 offered a you-can't-get-enough-bacon themed menu, with bacon being an ingredient in the special three course menu, desert, and even a bacon infused drink! Pictured here is the pork chop main entree topped with yummy sauce and bacon bits.

The dinner was delicious, and my fears about too much bacon would over take the food was unfounded. Even the bacon ice cream desert was great, with just a slight hit of bacon. Also bottles of wine were half price, and my glass of Merlot complemented the pig themed dinner nicely.

Can't wait to see this local Clarendon venue on the Travel Channel!
