In interviews about my blog/book, 2 of the questions I get asked the most are: 1) When/why did the recent bacon trend start? 2) Is ‘baconmania’ ever going to end? This Businessweek article does a better job of breaking it down than any other article that has attempted to decode the ‘bacon trend’ in the past couple years. And the “publishers handed out bacon book deals” line made me LOL.
