The Spotlight is on Bacon

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

While, we at Zingerman’s don’t usually get excited about fads, the resurgence of bacon is a different matter entirely.  This is because the growing awareness means that new appreciation is gained for those people who have been following the traditional recipes and doing things the “old way” all along.  Kate Lawson of the Detroit News writes a great article documenting artisanal bacon and how it’s been in the spotlight recently.

Sampling Camp Bacon: A First Taste

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

In a sneak peek at what is to come, the Detroit Metro Times music blog and the Cleveland Plain Dealer both talk about Camp Bacon, the first annual Bacon-centric summit hosted by Zingerman’s on June 19, 2010, with a mention of the kick-off concert at Zingerman’s Roadhouse with R&B great Andre Williams.  A Metro Times contributor says, “Andre Williams +Bacon = Genius!”

The famed R&B musician will join us to play a concert out on the patio at Zingerman’s Roadhouse. Andre topped the charts with his song “Bacon Fat” in 1957 and, at 75, he’s going stronger than ever.  He was profiled in Ari’s book Zingerman’s Guide to Better Bacon and is celebrating a new album on Bloodshot Records, That’s All I Need, and he has just authored his first novel, Sweets.  Join us for this rare Ann Arbor performance by an American music original.

Tickets are available for purchase online or at Zingerman’s Roadhouse.

This concert kicks off a weekend of bacon-centric events at Zingerman’s.  For more information, go to www.zingermanscampbacon.com.
