Today is National Pig Day (although the holiday isn’t official yet – support our cause to make it a real holiday by joining us at the Bacon Nation or on Facebook). After yesterday’s gluttonous festivities at the Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival, unfortunately I won’t be indulging in copious amounts of bacon to celebrate the day (although I did have some sausage for breakfast).
It’s only appropriate to mark the holiday by sharing video from yesterday’s bacon eating contest at Bacon Fest. For the second year in a row, the winner was Manni Balignasay. Click here to read a Metromix interview where Manni talks about what he did to win last year’s contest. And here’s a photo of me with the reigning bacon champ after his victory yesterday.
