Instead of more stuff, give a once-in-year bacon experience,” said Seth Zurer, co-founder of Baconfest Chicago. “Bacon is the one gift that everyone loves, it always fits, and it never goes out of style.”
On March 31 and April 1, more than 150 of the city’s best chefs will gather together with members of the bacon community to celebrate pork and culinary ingenuity at the ninth annual Baconfest Chicago. Baconfest Chicago 2017 will unfold over the course of three sessions at the UIC Forum located at 725 West Roosevelt, each with its own unique menu of creative bacon dishes and its own lineup of celebrated chefs.
