Maybe you already knew this, but SF is a pretty food-ish town- so they didn’t even blink when I said yo dudes want 15lbs of bacon and make whatever you want? They just rolled up their sleeves and said no big woop what about we do jam, ice cream, cupcakes, macaroons and also other stuff? Dudes, it really was that awesome…
Thanks to all the cooks for their super hard work and amazing foodstuffs!!! Thanks humongously to Thirsty Bear for being such a cool and brillo venue, with tons of crazy good organic beers and also very cool and nice bartenders! My sponsor Hormel Black Label Bacon hooked up the bacon big time on this, the 4th leg of this years Bacon Takedown Tour!!! I get all happy thinking about how awesome this is going, you guys!
