To many of us bacon is just another word for meat candy…bacon makes everything better!
Did you know Americans spend more than $4 billion annually on bacon? As we celebrate World Bacon Day on Saturday, September 4, we’re dishing up five cafés to chow down on everybody’s favourite breakfast temptation.
Bacon Day is held on the first Saturday in September each year, after it was conceived in 2004 by a group of Boulder, Colorado graduate students and typically includes consuming bacon for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
There’s plenty of bacon on the plate at Kerb Café & Gelato on Highfields Road in Highfields. Take a break from retail therapy at Highfields Village Shopping Centre on Saturday and refuel with tasty bacon and avocado salad, with baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, cucumber and feta cheese; or wrap your hands around a flaky croissant filled with scrambled egg and the best local bacon.
