SAT 4/20: Specials @ TRH / Serving Food @ Wingman Brewers!

On Saturday, we’ll be unleashing the 420 Dog upon an unsuspecting public.

All-beef dog with bacon, peanut butter, strawberry jam, and topped with crunch berry crumbles. Yes, this is for real. No additions, substitutions, or to-go. It will be available when we open at 11am.

To aid in the thirst quenching side of things, we’re doing $1 off pint specials on Beer Valley Leafer Madness IIPA & Mt. Shasta Mountain High Weed IPA as well.

If that was not enough to get your Saturday planned, we are heading down to Wingman Brewers (509 1/2 Puyallup Ave, Tacoma, WA 253-651-4832) to help celebrate their 2nd Anniversary! We’re bringing along a special batch of sausages & mustards to feed their hungry masses!

SAUSAGES: Pork Hot Link, Beef & Potato, Italian w/Pepperjack. All sausages were ground locally for this event.

MUSTARDS: Ace IPA Bavarian Mustard, P-51 Porter Brown Mustard, Stratofortress Honey Mustard. All mustards were made by us with Wingmans beers. For extra tasty delight, we made a P-51 Strat BBQ Sauce as well.

We will start serving food at noon, and go until we sell out.

TRH Test Kitchen Thursdays

Starting February 14th, Thursdays will now be “TRH Test Kitchen Thursdays”.

Doing something cool the first Wednesday of every month wasn’t cutting it, so we’ll do it every Thursday from here on out. Locally sourced sausages, crazed combinations, collaborations, and the opening of our seasonal farmers markets will make for some great creations.

All TRH Test Kitchen specials will be announced the day before on fb (theredhottacoma) and on both of our twitter accounts (@theredhot , @TRHkitchen, #trhtestkitchen).

Wed 2/6: The TRH Andouille Po Boy

In honor of people many miles away displaying body parts for cheap plastic beads, we are instead focusing on the food of said region. The TRH Andouille Po Boy is here on Wednesday, February 6th.

A spicy andouille sausage in a fresh baked bolillo roll, with our house made remoulade, diced onion, shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and finished off with our TRH Secret Spice Blend.
