I'm attending the first Baconfest Chicago this weekend and am very excited. Tickets sold out in 30 minutes. http://baconfestchicago.com/

Finally something appetizing on this blog! For too long us meat-eaters have felt shut out and ignored.

Man can turn a phrase, I'll give him that. But the bacon, the bacon I'll keep for myself. Mmmmm...

I'm disappointed this bit (ahem) didn't include a Jim Gaffigan clip.
