You can combine your passion for bacon with your passion for doing good by attending a Baconfest in either Chicago, San Francisco or D.C. A portion of the money raised goes towards food charities in each city. Unfortunately for some of us, the event is so popular that Baconfest Chicago is already sold out; but to grab a ticket to one of the other bacon festivals go to this site: http://baconfestchicago.com/sf-details. 

Golden Rasher Awards are bestowed on best artisanal bacons, on mixologists and brewers who infuse their beers and cocktails with bacon, on local bacon craftsmen and amateur cooks (view the finalists’ recipes on the Baconfest website) and even on artists with poems, videos, and songs inspired by our beloved muse … bacon.  Sounds like a great day to kick back and enjoy the many splendid joys of bacon.
