The Blind Staggers (Damien & Laura) join me for an episode that features food from Beacon Tap in Des Plaines. Tommy Reimer, owner of Beacon Tap, also jumps in the car to talk about the food we’re eating during the show.

Discussed this week:

• The long history of Beacon Tap.
• Beacon Tap has amazing food… and kickass urinals.
• Beacon Tap smokes their own meats. The wings and brisket were fantastic.
• Loaded mac & cheese pizza in a cheese-stuffed crust: OH MY.
• “I’ve got the weirdest boner, for sure” was a strong candidate for this week’s episode headline.
• The Blind Staggers are kinda punk, kinda Americana… they occupy their own space.
• The 10-year history of the Blind Staggers.
