After several sell-out events, Andy Bates returns on the 28th with his First Aid Brunch at The Liquor Store. The menu is packed with blue cheese Bloody Marys, bacon cinnamon rolls, and jalapeño & cheese hash browns, and also has a serious thing for bacon, with it finding its way into most dishes and drinks, such as the extraordinary bacon-infused Old Fashioned.
