Now this is what I call a Camp!

Camp Bacon is a long weekend of bacon events at Zingerman’s
in Ann Arbor, MI on June 17-20, 2010.

We’re bringing some of the biggest names in bacon to Ann Arbor to dive into our favorite subject. We’re calling it the “Davos of Bacon.” Camp Bacon kicks off with R&B legend Andre Williams (tickets, $15) in concert at Zingerman’s Roadhouse on Friday June 18 followed by the Main Event, Saturday June 19, a full-day, full-flavored exploration of the bacon’s past, present and future. Highlights of the Main Event include:

• Bacon tasting with Zingerman’s co-founder Ari Weinzweig
• Hands-on pancetta-making class with Herb Eckhouse
  from La Quercia in Iowa
• Bacon cooking demo with James Beard Award-winning cookbook author and chef Molly Stevens
• My life as a Bacon curer with Allan Benton from East Tennessee
  and Nick Spencer from Chicago
• A Reading from Sarah Katherine Lewis, author of Sex and Bacon: Why I Love Things that are Very, Very Bad for Me
• How Bacon Changed My Life: Presentati0ns from curers and bacon professionals around the country
• Plus breakfast and lunch from Zingerman’s, a free copy of Ari’s Zingerman’s Guide to Better Bacon, a free t-shirt and more!
