Hot Dogs: Now with Bacon!

I’ll admit it, I’m starting to feel like a bacon wuss. A softy. A pushover. I’m so easily stunned by the news of amazing bacon inventiveness I should be ashamed. Like this lovely hot dog from 4505 Meats. It’s uncured and it’s filled with bacon. What? I’m not even sure I get what that means, but I’d certainly like to learn. Which is why I’m ordering 3 pounds for my next BBQ. Oh, the husband will rejoice when this package arrives.

Check out the rest of 4505’s site. They’ve got GREAT posters and tees, like this graphic about chicharrones. Next time I’m in San Francisco, I’m going to have to hunt these guys down and shake their greasy hands.

Bacon via Bruce

Our regular readers may not know it, but the Royal Bacon Society has an unspoken mission to provide substance to the lives of Bruces everywhere. Well, not really. But we’ve inadvertantly done so in one case by keeping my good friend, we’ll just call him “Georgia Bruce,” gainfully employed. He sees how lazy I’ve become and does his best to keep me moving with fun new products to share with you. He has rightfully dubbed himself contributor-at-large, although the last time I saw him he didn’t look one bit larger than he was in high school. To give even greater, ahem, weight to his position, he reminds me that a contributor from the deep South will lend an air of credibility to the site that has heretofore been lacking. So there you have it. RBS is now officially a credible bacon site. And it only took 2 years!

First let’s revisit our friends at Lollyphile. To my knowledge they were the first to commercially develop a maple-bacon lollipop. Now they’ve taken that innovation a step further and made it into an energy pop! Yes, it’s a caffeinated maple-bacon pop to get you through the afternoon doldrums. Forget the espresso, skip the mega-cans of energy drinks. Get all the zing you need from candy-on-a-stick…everything tastes better on a stick!

Next we have a little something to snazz up your business attire. Got an important meeting with the CEO? Now you can show him or her that you’re serious enough to wear a tie, but confident enough to bring your sense of humor to the game. The Sizzlin’ Bacon Tie by Smoked Bacon Neckwear, now on sale for just $12! This is the perfect Father’s Day gift. (You heard me, Bruce’s kids; this was his idea.)

Thanks, Bruce, for the ongoing content. And for letting me steal all your best puns! As if you had a choice.

I Love Bacon Undies

Back in February we got an email from Eric, the Artistic Director at a company called Ginch Gonch. And what does this interestingly-named company make? Underwear. And not just any underwear; super cool undies with great shape and hip designs. Eric told us this story: “This time last year, when it was time for me to design the next collection, I happened upon your website and got totally excited at the idea of wearing bacon. Since I design underwear, and the theme of that collection was ‘I LOVE,’ and I happen to ADORE bacon…well you can imagine the rest.”

Wait. Did he just say that RBS inspired a design for his new underwear line? Indeed he did. We blushed. We giggled. We have literally never been so flattered in our lives. Eric offered to send us a couple pair to try out, and we absolutely love them! We toyed with the idea of modeling them for you, but apparently all that bacon is catching up with my ass. There will be no “Girls of RBS” calendar this year, folks.

I don’t think the bacon design is available for purchase just yet, but when they are, I highly recommend these undies in either girl or boy cut. I took the boy cut for myself and it’s like having your butt hugged all day. Need I say more?

Bacon & Beer Festival - Hell yes!

Wow! If ever there was an event that I wish I could be queen of, this is it: The Boston Bacon & Beer Festival, being held on April 24 in  Boston’s South End. That’s right. Beer, Bacon & Boston. More than 30 restaurants and at least a dozen breweries are coming together to help you find just the right beer for any of their bacon-themed treats. I’ve been to (and LOVE) beer festivals. I’ve had a great time at our own little Bacon Day festivals. But this…this is a dream come true. I’m drooling all over my keyboard here.

As you can imagine, this party has been a big hit. It’s already sold out once, but they’re planning to make some more tickets available tomorrow morning, April 7. So if you live in the Boston area and don’t have your tickets yet, please get online and get them tomorrow. Do it for me. Someone’s got to represent RBS. And to all the organizers of this food & beverage Nirvana, I will raise a beer and bacon toast in your honor on that day and hope to join you in 2011!

Thanks, Aaron, for letting us know about this great event. Proceeds of the Bacon & Beer Festival will benefit some pretty great charitable organizations. Please go to their website and check out all the details!

I totally back the Bacon Salt guys in their never-ending quest to make life more bacony, but this one leaves me speechless. Seriously. I have no idea what to say, except…am I on Candid Camera? Best Bacon-Related April Fools Prank I’ve seen. It is a prank, right guys? Right?!
