A little patio time at @theharpandfiddle and @weha A little patio time at @theharpandfiddle and @wehavegreatbeerpr on a Saturday evening is good for the soul
Talk about a must order when my neighbors get toge Talk about a must order when my neighbors get together at the @the_beacon_tap in Des Plaines. As appetizers go, the trash can nachos represent the perfect combination of presentation, portion size and scrumptious, melty, messy goodness.

Perfectly sharable as a large group appetizer — or perhaps even as a meal for 2-3 people — the show, which is sure to draw attention from nearby patrons, begins when a giant bottomless silver bucket arrives at the table for all to gawk at. The server then slowly pulls the bucket up, sending a cascade of nachos, cheese, meat, jalapenos, green onions and tomatoes tumbling evenly onto the tray below — with onions, guacamole and pico de gallo expertly situated to the side.

Feel free to add pork, chicken, chorizo, chili, steak or brisket to the mix. The smoked brisket, for what it’s worth, tends to sway us every time.
