Baconopolis is More Than a Mere Dream; It is Pork Perfection in The Flesh
By Rocco 'Boss Hog' Loosbrock
Baconopolis ... Baconopolis, by any other name would you ... could you possibly smell and taste so seductively sweet, salty, sizzlingly savory and sensually sensational! I for one, think NOT!
Baconopolis (Round Two) "This time it's Porkual!" ... took place on Friday night, February 26th from 6:00 -8:00 PM at the ever so awesome Palace Ballroom in the wondrously Washingtonian city of Seattle.
Surprising to none, the event featured bacon, bacon and more bacon.
Specifically... 10 delightfully different, delectable dishes of bacon oriented fine dining fare, from items that seem to naturally go together like a "hand and glove," to other recipes that go together more like "penguins on unicycles" and "low salt, none fat nuclear submarines."
The entire event was brought to us by the good folks over at the Palace Ballroom and their illustrious owner, Mr. Tom Douglas, who is also noted in the "foodie" world for being a semifinalist for the prestigious 2010 James Beard Foundation award for Best Restaurateur.
The menu included:
B.L.A.T. (the classic with avocado)
Bacon Cured Whole Pig
Bacon Cornbread Muffin
Pork n' Beans
Bacon Explosion
Elvis' Favorite: Hot Peanut Butter, Banana and Bacon
Classic Carbonara
Bacon Fried Rice
Bacon Biscuit Sandwich with Gravy
Bacon Filled Doughnut with Maple Glaze and Bacon Salt
OK ... so I was momentarily distraught to discover they were NOT servi9ng my favorite "Pork At The Bottom Yogurt, the entire event was utterly amazing?
Absolutely everybody had a wonderfully awesome time and as predicted, totally PIGGED OUT!
We can't wait till next year.
Senseless In Seattle!
