So we needed cooler space – pronto. Our knight in shining armor was the Triple Rock Social Club. They decided to use their powers for good and donated some much needed cooler space to our 15 gallons of black bean chili and mirepoix. I urge those of you in the cities to go forth and have a beer at the kindest little punk rock bar in the cities! After you come to Empty Bowls, of course!
