Today is the annual Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival in Des Moines, Iowa. I attended last year and had one of the best bacon-themed days of my life. Unfortunately I couldn’t make it this year. But the next best thing is following everyone’s Tweets – for live updates you can follow #baconfest #brbf10 @mrbaconpants and @joelawler on Twitter, among others. Also, click here to read Joe Lawler’s story about the event in the Des Moines Register (I was one of several people interviewed for it). Ohhhhhhhh bacon!
