Masterbacon is less than two weeks away (1/17/2009) and the BaconGeek.com crew has been slavin’ away to make sure its a fantastic event. The first thing we need to update folks on is the venue change. We’ll be holding Masterbacon at the Davis Street Tavern in Old town. This is a great new venue just 3 doors down from Backspace. I’ve updated…
During the holiday season our thoughts at BaconGeek.Com often turn to extreme cooking hijinks. Many of our favorite all-time culinary endeavors involve ensconcing meat with a material near and dear to our hearts (in more ways than one). What better way to baste the holiday bird than with a blanket of Bacon. Whether it be a “Standard” oven broiled Turkey…

I’m trying something new this week; a video review. Instead of all of the boring prose…
If there is one thing I love its other bacon lovers. I had a chance to talk with Jason Jackson, founder and proprietor of thepignextdoor.com. I’m BaconGeek (BG) and he’s ThePigNextDoor (TPND):

BG: Tell me a little about your bacon background.
TPND: I have no background in bacon besides loving to eat it. Haha.
