MMMMMM … the sputter of frying bacon. An artery-clogging symphony for the ears.
Oooh, that scrumptious, maple-y aroma wafting from the skillet. Can’t wait. At last! There they lie, crispy strips, straight as sentinels, flanking perfectly fried eggs. Ah, the salty, smoky, crunch of that first bite. Oh, yeah. Oh, no. You can’t even grease palms to sneak into Baconfest Chicago on Saturday at the Stan Mansion in Logan Square

http://www.avclub.com/chicago/articles/baconfest-at-stan-mansion,39999/
We could hardly resist the event at Logan Square’s posh Stan Mansion—and neither could anyone else, apparently: The event sold out 800 tickets for two sessions. In addition to vendors displaying their bacon wares, 24 chefs from restaurants like The Bristol (2152 N. Damen Ave., 773-862-5555) and Otom (951 W. Fulton Mkt., 312-491-5804) presented the ingredient in inventive ways, right down to boozy iterations of the meat being served. And while we can’t explain the obsession, we can present these highlights from the bacon-y bacchanalia.
4/6/2010 New City Chicago
http://resto.newcity.com/2010/04/06/411-pork-bellies/
Bacon is truly the Helen of Troy of meats,” says Baconfest co-founder (and acclaimed theatrical sound designer) Andre Vonbaconvitch. And if all goes according to plan, bacon is going to be the meat that launches (nearly) a thousand plates Saturday April 10 at the Stan Mansion in Logan Square.
4/14/2010 Chicago Tribune
BaconFest Chicago! — a thoughtful celebration of all things bacon held April 10 — featured many of Chicago’s finest chefs making bacon dishes of their choice, a multitude of sponsors that included The Onion, vendors such as Vosges Haut Chocolat and Nueske’s, an amateur bacon recipe cook-off between five finalists and a Bacon Bar and Lounge. It sold 600 tickets in 15 minutes at $45 for one of two sessions, each featuring 12 chefs.
