bacon

Attention bacon-lovers! A festival involving all things bacon will return to Iowa this May!

Bacon lovers can participate in bacon eating contests and try all sorts of bacon dishes at the Des Moines event.

An Iowa establishment is recalling over 150,000 pounds of ready-to-eat bacon for contamination.

I'm almost embarrassed to share this since most of us in Iowa know this already. Science has finally proven that no state loves bacon more than Iowa. Almost.

The basic food groups consist of: Grains, Veggies, Fruit, Dairy, and Meat. A balanced diet for Iowans also includes a good supply of delicious bacon. In a state where pigs outnumber humans eight to one, bacon is a way of life for Iowans. But the dispute over how it is consumed has been plaguing us for eons: Chewy or Crispy...

I mean, is anyone really surprised?

Our food choices may not be the healthiest (especially compared to states like Vermont), but they sure do taste good!

"Like a great lover, something about this bacon touched my soul."

With Baconfest nearing, Amanda from Fat Sarg's Donuts stopped by the KRNA studio to let Jaymz get a sneak pick at a few items.

Sample dozens of crispy, delicious bacon treats from appetizers to desserts, at Baconfest, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday Sept. 24 at New Bo City Market.
