Check the heck out of the Minneapolis Bacon Takedown!

Oh man check it out! Minneapolis elbowed the East and West coasts in the stomach wicked hard without even looking- and then Minneapolis flipped both it’s fists up and totally punched both coasts in the face for a simultaneous insane knock out blast!!! East and West Coasts sank to the ground, defeated, and Minneapolis just  looked straight ahead like no big deal and let out a spectacular primal scream, fists still in the air! It was so incredible!   (Hmm. Can you even picture that?  Like how Jackie Chan knocks out two bad guys that are behind him not even looking? Does that make any sense? It’s 2PM, I’m not usually up this early, so just bear with me, and try and watch more ninja movies.)
Home cooks of the Twin Cities. I thank you.  300lbs of Hormel Black Label Bacon was cooked in 21 different ways for the good people of Minnesota.  ”Epic” is an oft misused and abused word, but works nicely this time!!! We are all so pumped!
Hey you guys check the heck out all the recipes!!! And the winners!!!

Meatballerzeatballz!!!!

It’s sleeting today in NYC, which is actually God sobbing because he missed the Meatball Takedown!  Sorry God, you weren’t the only one, and these Takedowns sell out pretty quick, because they are VERY POPULAR!!! And a January Takedown is literally the only good thing that happens during what scientists commonly refer to as “The Crappiest Month”. No big woop because the Ice Cream Takedown is coming up this summer, and I know you guys are poised like pythons of pure hate for that next Brooklyn Takedown! Word up!!!!

Thanks to all the Meatballerz. You filled the Bell House with 6000+ meatballz, and according to the register, you all also drank a ton of awesome booze!!!!  The Bell House loves you back!!! Man, was that a party!!!  Seriously, I kind of think Meatballz is my new favorite takedown!

And now, without further ado, let’s all check out the meatballerz and their recipes!!!! Continue reading
