"I think we get just as excited as our fans do to see which restaurants sign up every year. As foodies, we love the diversity. As bacon geeks we love the creativity. As the founders of Baconfest, we're so humbled that so many great chefs and restaurants want to celebrate the undying virtues of America's most delicious food," said Baconfest co-founder Seth Zurer.
BACONFEST CHICAGO EVENTS
This year's event will take place during three sessions including a new Sunday Brunch Session. "This is when America fell in love with bacon after all, so it's going to be pretty special -- we're not saying more than that just yet," said Zurer. Additionally each session will have a distinct theme as a way to continue to engage the creativity of the 170+ chefs in-attendance.
