  BBQ, Chimay & My Friend’s Place at Lucky Devils 

  

  Lucky Devils is supporting local Hollywood charity, My Friend’s Place, for the month of December 2009. We are working to raise awareness about the increasing number of homeless youth that live throughout Southern California. A portion of every sale made at Lucky Devils during the month of December will be donated to My Friend’s Place to help support the more than 1,800 homeless youth that pass through its doors with a variety of resources ranging from food, clothing, and showers, to transformative education and well-being services.

  To kickoff the month-long event, owner and restaurateur Lucky Vanous, has created a tasty holiday special – Ribs and Chimay. The house-smoked BBQ Ribs are made spicy or sweet and are served with your choice of Jalapeno Corn Bread Pudding or Sweet Potato Fries for $16. Add Belgian Chimay, just $8 a glass, and refilled for just $6. Join Lucky Devils Monday or Tuesday and you can keep your Chimay glass (while supplies last). Bring an item from My Friend’s Place donation list (http://myfriendsplace.org/ donatewishlist.html) to put into Lucky’s oversized stocking, and be entered to win a dinner for two at Lucky Devils ($50 value).

  “We are proud to support the work My Friend’s Place provides here in Hollywood,” Lucky Vanous said. “Their efforts to provide tools to help our homeless youth succeed in life are a cause we firmly believe in.”

  Cheers!

  TONIGHT: Stone and Let’s Be Franklin @verdugobar 

  Thanks to everyone who came out to the Daily Pint last Wednesday for the Vertical Epic release!  The weiners flowed like beer, and the beer flowed like wine.  And you wondered why they call it hump day.

  Being an equal opportunity beer group, we didn’t want to give the Westside the only chance to mix & match delicious Stone Beers with mouth watering Let’s Be Frank dogs.  So this week we take the party east into Glassell Park to visit another LA bastion of incredible beer, Verdugo Bar.

  If you east-of-the-405-ers didn’t make it out last week cause the Pint is too far away, now you’ve got something else to complain about.  Trekking over the hill into Glassell Park.  Well quit your whining!

  Anyone who’s been to Verdugo knows it’s always worth the trip, especially for an event like this.

  Absent last week but in full effect this week is frequent LBF tag-along, Coolhaus, which will be there to help extinguish the flames after a couple of Devil Dogs or Smoked Porter with Chipotle.

  To top it all off, there will be a late night DJ tribute to Aretha Franklin courtesy of Devil’s Pie.  (rumors of free cupcakes?)

  Continue on for the list of Stone Beers on tap, plus their suggested hot dog pairings, courtesy of the Verdugo Bar events page. (More …)
