Bacon. Bringin' it home.

Favorite quote from the article:

Bacon is about sustained attention in a click-happy TV-remote-and-computer-mouse world. It must be forked, flipped, watched. It must not be under- or overdone. It must be honored.

Bacon is about our state's history, when hungry country folk needed meat in their bellies to chore.

Bacon is the underdog, in the shadow of the Iowa chop and thick beef steak, a hardworking food for the fearless.

Even for bacon, I'm not going to Des Moines. But it sounds like an excellent location for a Bacon Station franchise!
