The Blue Ribbon Bacon Tour, sponsered by Vande Rose Farms made another stop in the ‘burgh this past weekend. It’s very much like a traveling version of the annual Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival held in Des Moines, Iowa each year. I seem to recall the Tour stopping in Pittsburgh once before and I had missed it. This time I made sure I would enjoy all the bacon-y goodness. Hosting the event from Harris Grill was the one and only Mr. BaconPants. He was joined by Heather Lauer from BaconUnwrapped.com, author of the book Bacon: A Love Story: A Salty Survey of Everybody’s Favorite Meat.

Bacon Explosion go BOOM!
So I have been on quite a tear recently with my Weber Smoky Mountain bullet smoker lately. But maybe I was driving Nicole nuts with ribs this and pork that…

All images on the right are from BBQAddicts.com and my own are shown on the left.
