Peg Leg Porker Plans Piggy Bank Dinner With Taqueria del Sol

Right off the bat, for those of you who didn't

to attend the

dinner at

last month, I am sincerely sorry that you missed out on an amazing night of food and drink. Just about everyone in attendance at the sold-out dinner went home fat and happy with boxes full of enough leftover meat and veggies to feed them for a week. It was truly a great night.

So believe me when I tell you that Carey Bringle's next team-up later this month should be special as well. This time, he's joining forces with the folks from Taqueria del Sol for a Piggy Bank dinner on Sunday, July 27, to benefit the Southern Foodways Alliance. Original TdS founders Mike Klank and Eddie Hernandez will be traveling up from Atlanta to join Bringle and the local Taqueria del Sol staff from their 12South location, led by managing partner Tony Halligan.

Each chef will prepare unique courses that will complement the distinct styles of their respective restaurants, and Bringle will also serve up the welcome cocktail called the Pork & Stormy (made with Peg Leg Porker Tennessee Straight Bourbon Whiskey, ginger beer and lime juice). Between Bringle’s traditional twist on Memphis barbecue and Hernandez’s creative South-meets-Southwest style, it should be a helluva meal for only $75, including five courses with beer and moonshine pairings, tax and gratuity.

The fun kicks off with cocktails at 6:30 p.m., and you can buy your tickets to the table at the event website.
