Plenty of Bacon to be Had — Benny’s in Chicago Sun-Times Article

Thursday, April 18th, 2013

In a town that poet Carl Sandburg famously dubbed “hog butcher for the world” and that used to be home to meat-packing giants Armour & Company and Oscar Mayer, it’s no surprise that an event called “Baconfest” sold out in 41 minutes, as this year’s event did.

So unless you bought tickets weeks ago for the April 20 shindig — or have the means to overpay a scalper — you’re likely out of luck. The pricier VIP spots are gone, too.

Fortunately, several eateries around town are offering bacon-inspired dishes to sate the ticketless, pork-craving masses. Visit them soon, though, since most of the items are available only for a limited time.
