Baconfest Chicago
Chicago, Illinois
It doesn't start for a little over a month, but we wanted to tell you about Baconfest Chicago well in advance so you can get your travel plans in order. This fantastic event celebrates everyone's favorite cured meat with a huge roster of restaurants serving both lunch and dinner sessions of their own takes on the theme of bacon, with everything from bacon scones and bacon-wrapped bratwurst to bacon pizza, bacon tacos, and even a bacon bloody mary. Separate events are planned for San Francisco and Washington, D.C., but if you want to enjoy the original, you'd best find yourself in the Windy City on April 20.
