IMG_0308

Just in case you thought Bacon Takedowns was just for us stupids, guess who showed up to compete- none other than famous playwright Lynn Nottage, bringing her Not Your Grandma’s Latkas into the insane frenzy at Littlefield!

Okay, now that we got the obscene name-dropping out of the way, let’s talk takedown.

Thanks to all the Brooklyn home cooks for rocking and destroying.  It is just a fact that you are actually the best.  Thanks to sponsor Hormel Black Label Bacon for the 300lbs of bacons used in this insane bacon gambit!!!  And Littlefield, a perf venue INDEED!  Oo, also, did everybody get a chance to play Menu Mashup at the gaming booth!??!?
