Bacon Unwrapped’s Legal Analyst (as in my college roommate, who shall remain anonymous, is a law clerk and was looking for a reason to procrastinate at work today) did some research of instances where the word “bacon” has appeared in case law. She found a few entertaining examples. Enjoy! In […]

Bacon that's good for the heart
Can you imagine being able to eat bacon that actually helps your heart? Well a group of university researchers is working on creating such a thing. Apparently they have created cloned pigs that make their own omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish are thought to decrease chances […]
Presidential Pig Farming
I have relatives visiting me in DC this weekend. So today we went to Mount Vernon, George and Martha Washington’s estate south of DC. I’ve been to Mount Vernon many times over the years. But I haven’t been there since starting this blog, so certain things stood out that I […]
What happens when you mix bacon with wine on a Monday night?
A hangover on Tuesday – that’s what happens when you mix bacon with wine on a Monday night. But it was a hangover worth the pain, because it was induced by Chef Greggory Hill’s monthly Aphrodisiac Bacon Dinner. As a continuation of our ‘adventures in pork’ at David Greggory […]
Where meat lovers meet
The Annual Meat Conference comes to an end today in Dallas. Yes, there is such a thing as a “Meat Conference” – I just love that they didn’t try to get fancy about their name and they call it what it is! This is an annual educational event for meat […]

Bacon High School
How cool would it be to be a student at Bacon High School?! The only thing they didn’t get right is the mascot…the Spartans? I’m willing to bet a strip of bacon doing cartwheels would get the crowd pumped up more than some dude wearing a helmut and skirt.
Exploiting Bacon
France is a strange country. There are a lot of things about French culture that defy common sense. But one of the more disturbing things I’ve come across recently is the “solidarity movement” of a group called the Identity Bloc, whose mission is to fight multiculturalism in Europe. Apparently this […]
La Plat de Porc
Last week while in Brussels for work, I went to dinner with some colleagues at the infamous Belgian restaurant, Aux Armes de Bruxelles. Most of us were offered the English menu that included standard items a tourist might want to experience at a traditional Belgian restaurant (ie mussels, croquettes, […]
Bacon Brittle
Cowboy Ciao is one of my favorite restaurants in Scottsdale, Arizona. So I was very excited when my order of Cowboy Ciao Bacon Brittle from The Grateful Palate arrived last week. After my positive experience with a bacon chocolate souffle at David Greggory last month, I was ready to try […]
