I did it. I went to Bacon & Beer Fest. Finally! The tickets sell out in the first 10-minutes online. Luckily, Ms. L was on it and grabbed a few. It benefits Community Servings and Lovin’ Spoonfuls. I love those two groups but was disappointed that there was zero representation of the organizations.

The event was great, though now it is a bit outdated. Better late than never. The lighting and crowds didn’t make it an ideal photo-op, but I had to snap a few while juggling my beer cup and spork.

Check out the crowds. There were restaurants on the floor and breweries and more restaurants around the edges on 2 levels.

Bacon, cheese, and fig spread on a crustini:

This was huge and not our favorite, but I really liked the idea.

This mac & cheese had smoked pork and avocado cream.

This was my favorite sweet bite of the day. It was a take on a smore from Petit Robert.
