It’s official at last, I’ll be doing a bacon-making demo at Baconfest this Saturday. I’d tell you where to get tickets, but they sold out in like two minutes, so you can’t. However, in the meantime you can at least read my progress as a bacon-maker in this old thread from LTHForum.
(This is, incidentally, the closest you’ll ever get to the first attempt at a prototype for Sky Full of Bacon. I shot a baconmaking demo in my own kitchen, and decided from it that I did not want to be an on-camera personality, or for these things to be all about me.)
And as you probably know if you’re a Chicago foodie, big congrats to Mike Sheerin of Blackbird, hog-breaker-downer extraordinaire (as seen here), who is Chicago’s member of the Food & Wine best new chefs for 2010.
