I mentioned way back in October that Naseem and I were going to start doing some races under the moniker of Team Bacon. We started with 5K runs and...well, honestly that's all I've really bothered to do over the past…

We recently entered a contest hosted by our sponsor, Foodbuzz. It was a BACON recipe contest, and we felt it would be an embarrassment not to enter. Because, you know, we're a bacon blog. We were not victorious (an outrage!) but I…

If you're a bacon lover, then you probably have your own special recipe for the perfect BLT. (Incidentally, if you're not a bacon lover, you may have steered yourself to the wrong site.) I've always loved a simple sandwich on…

What happens when two inventive Brits combine bacon and rocketry? Windows beware. Rathergoodstuff, you rule.

Okay, after yesterday's post I got an email with the following photo which, in my opinion, totally kicks the meat manger scene's ass. I mean, the manger scene is hilarious, but would you check out the artistry on this thing?…

My favorite comment is the last. Sacrilicious will now be an active part of my vocabulary. Merry Porking Christmas!! Thank you, Holly! And thank you Failbook.

First things first, you may have noticed that we've updated the site! My never-ending thanks to Naseem, the brainiac behind the design. I can't even tell you guys how much time she spends thinking about the look and functionality of…

A representative of Wendy's contacted us recently and asked if we'd like to try some of their menu items, particularly their new "Pick Two" promotion, where you get two items for $4.99. Neither Naseem nor I had been to Wendy's…

So I know this here blog is supposed to be all about bacon, but let's be honest. There's a whole lot more to the proud pig than his delicious belly. One of the most versatile cuts (and my second favorite)…

Just a quick note to tell you that TEAM BACON (aka Naseem and I) are running a 5K for the Cancer Center of Santa Barbara this weekend. It's our first "race" but certainly won't be our last. We'll be out…

Now that I'm coming out of my sugar coma, I can tell you all about our delightful, delicious fundraiser, Sweet Sunday! Royal Bacon Society sponsored this event to benefit Genesis West, our favorite cutting edge, contemporary theater company here in…

For a number of reasons, not the least of which is a lack of venue, RBS will not be holding a full-scale Bacon Day party in 2010. I've already discussed this disappointing news with a number of you die-hards out…

Not long ago, my husband and I went to one of our favorite local eateries, Shalhoob's for a long-anticipated date night. Besides having really great steaks and cocktails, this restaurant has a long history in Santa Barbara. Shalhoob's Meat Company…

On the Fourth of July, I was shopping at our local fancy-schmancy grocery store, Lazy Acres. It's like the small-town version of a Whole Foods. I love their produce, their cheese department, their fantastic wine and liquor selection, and...the meat…

Once again, Royal Bacon Society was fortunate to receive some product for review, and some coupons to share with our readers! Representatives of Kraft asked us to try their new Deli Deluxe Bacon Cheddar. As much as I love to…

Are you looking for a good deal and a hot addition to your bacon wardrobe? Are you also in a hurry? Good! Because you only have 8 hours before this offer expires. Patriotic bacon tees, just in time for Independence…

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…
