Step Back in Time and Savor the Spirit
Have you ever wanted to turn back the clock and be in simpler times? If you’ve ever wandered down Main Street Mooresville, chances are you’ve spotted that familiar corner restaurant – the legendary Epic Chophouse. Although they are known for their unmatched service, exceptional value and exquisite food, during the month of September, a truly magical experience awaits you within those charming walls. Step inside and let Chef Phil and his team take you on a divine tasting journey, as they raise their glasses to Bourbon Heritage Month.
A Culinary Soiree: The Monday MASHup
Picture this: It’s a crisp September evening, and you find yourself nestled in the heart of Mooresville, where the past seamlessly blends with the present. The Epic Chophouse sets the stage for the Monday MASHup – a weekly rendezvous that brings together the stewards of bourbon and the enthusiasts of fine dining. Patrons will gather to celebrate their love for this amber nectar, sipping and savoring carefully crafted bourbon cocktails that pay homage to tradition while enjoying specially paired appetizers such as Shrimp & Goat Cheese Flatbread with Bourbon Glaze, Salmon Burnt Ends with Bourbon Syrup Drizzle or Bourbon Cream Philly Shaved Beef over Crisp Potato Slices.
Journey through Flavor: Weekly Bourbon Flights
Epic Chophouse’s dedication to celebrating Bourbon Heritage Month knows no bounds. As the sun dips below the horizon, signaling the beginning of another week, the Weekly Bourbon Flights take center stage. Guided by seasoned bourbon stewards, these flights offer an exploration of distinct bourbons, each with its own story to tell. From the fiery embrace of high-rye selections to the velvety smoothness of aged classics, every sip uncovers a new layer of complexity and character. These are also paired with weekly Bourbon Bites, a culinary delight featuring options like Bourbon Candied Bacon, Crab Bites with Bourbon Dip and Baby Back Stack of Pork Ribs with Blue Cheese Slaw.
A Southern Elegance: Bourbon Dinner featuring Southern Distilling Co.
The pinnacle of Epic Chophouse’s Bourbon Heritage Month celebration comes in the form of a sumptuous Bourbon Dinner on September 19th. With a spotlight on Southern Distilling, an emblem of the region’s rich bourbon legacy, this exclusive dining experience promises an evening of unrivaled indulgence. All guests will receive a tour of Southern Distillery’s state-of-the-art distillery located in Statesville. Each guest will also have the chance to win a Paragon Cask Strength Single Barrel Wheated Straight Bourbon bottle signed by the owner of Southern Star Distillery.
The dining experience will be as epic as the drinks with a four-course dinner that will delight even the most discerning palettes. The first course will feature Smoked Lobster Tail with Fresno Pepper Drawn Butter and a Zucchini Fritter paired with a Pomegranate Sour Double Rye Bourbon Whiskey, followed by Roast Apple & Cranberry Stuffed Quail with a Truffle Potato Straw Nest paired with a Zen Old Fashioned Hunting Creek Straight Rye Whiskey.
