Yes, I originally come from Wisconsin, home of cheese, Feingold, and more lakes then Minnesota... So I was excited to see what was at the Wisconsin State Fair this past summer. Chocolate covered bacon on a stick. Yes, it is now up there with mac and cheese on a stick, the pronto pup, and chocolate-covered bananas on a stick. It will be interesting to see if the MN state fair steals this idea for next year (or do you in MN out there know if they have already done this?). Knowing them, they will steal this idea just like they stole Favre... Okay, I love MN. I did my undergrad there and they do have a restaurant which has free bacon, but I am still torn over the fact that Favre went to the Vikings, of all the teams he could have traded to he had to go to the Vikings! It's like the MN North Stars moving to Texas.... I think I need to go eat some bacon for comfort.
Enjoy,

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.
