We made it into a legitimate newspaper. Now, anyone in Chicago who gets the Chicago Tribune, did we make it into the print edition as well? I'd love to have a copy, but the online version is good to see. So here is the link. Their link to us doesn't seem to work, but that's okay, it's crazy that we were even mentioned. Who would have thought even a year ago that Bacon Day would have gotten this big?
The question is now, how many different countries (and states) will be celebrating Bacon Day this year? I think we might have to start a count.
1. US - Boulder CO, Boston MA, Chicago IL, Santa Barbara CA, Grinnell IA, Any where else?
2. AU - Newcastle NSW, Sydney NSW, ...?
3. We think Canada from the news stories but no confirmed reports.
4. ??? We haven't heard yet from the people who celebrated in the other countries from last year so we would love to hear from you.
Enjoy,
Alexa and the Bacon Boys

Bacon Day is held on the Saturday before Labor Day US (the first Monday of Sep.). This year that is the 5th of September. Last year Bacon Day was celebrated in the US, Australia, Canada, South Africa, Switzerland, and the UK. Lets see how many more countries we can add to the list this year!
Welcome to International Bacon Day.
Welcome to International Bacon Day
Bacon Day is open to everyone. Vegetarians can have fake-con (soy bacon) and religious objectors non-pork bacon (I suggest turkey bacon).Bacon Day is a day of Bacon... think Iron Chef but all day and the secret ingredient is Bacon. Breakfast traditionally consists of bacon waffles, with a side of bacon, and any other concoctions thought up. Throughout the day there are showings of Kevin Bacon movies and any other movies with leading roles given to pigs, e.g. Babe, Piglet's Big Adventure. Lunch must have BLTs and there are snacks around and slices of bacon everywhere. Dinner is a fight for your food quite literally. It is more a tasting of all things bacon and everyone wants a taste. Due to the vast quantities of bacon cooked, the grill outside is the best bet. If you are invited to a Bacon Day celebration, it is traditional to bring something to eat (of course containing bacon) which can be made there if the host allows, and drink (which may or may not include bacon).
The creator of Bacon Day is Seth. His friends helped put together the logistics (a BIG thanks to Evan and Brandon and possibly me Alexa:) ) and as we are starting to all move on from our grad student days, we plan to bring bacon day with us. This blog is to help spread, coordinate future bacon days, and share. The first Annual Bacon Day was held in 2005.
If you have any questions or want to hear the full story about Bacon Day and how it was created, feel free to email us at international.bacon.day at gmail dot com.
Enjoy
