BIG news came out yesterday that Milwaukee will be hosting a Fieri-Con in late August. What is Fieri-Con you may ask? It’s a bar crawl that’s free to the public with everyone dressing as Guy Fieri. As someone who has spent many Friday nights with his girlfriend binging Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, I have to be there. I’m alway down for a good day drink but throw in Fieri plus a fun area of town. Sign me the hell up. From the Milwaukee Record, here are more details.

Holcomb approached FieriCon founder David Gold about potentially having an installment of the goofy, gluttonous affair in his hometown. With Gold’s blessing, Holcomb set out to plan Milwaukee’s first FieriCon.

“Milwaukee as a city has a gift for day drinking, bar crawls, and anything that is a little out of the ordinary,” Holcomb says. “Also, I don’t think Chicago can handle all the flavor this event would bring.”

First, I love the subtle dig on Chicago. The second is what do I wear? I feel like everyone is going with the flames shirt. Do I grow out my facial hair in hopes that I could sculpt it like Guy. Also, what is the food item that you have to take down around this area? It’s probably the wings at Steiny’s, although O’Lydias also can bring the noise from a food perspective. Nothing is going to be funnier than me walking hammered into one of the nicer restaurants in that area dressed like an asshole at 9:00 pm.
