National Bacon Lovers Day
Today is National Bacon Lovers Day, the unofficial holiday where logic takes a back seat and bacon worship takes center stage. People put it on donuts, add it to milkshakes, and even buy bacon-scented candles just to keep the smell lingering. Entire restaurant menus have been built on the premise that if you slap bacon on it, people will line up. If aliens tuned into Earth’s food culture, they’d probably assume bacon was our national currency.
This photograph presents a generous pile of bacon arranged in a metal pan against my signature black background. Each strip, glossy and rippled, catches the light in a way that emphasizes both texture and indulgence. It’s less about restraint and more about the abundance that makes bacon an enduring favorite.
From diners and drive-thrus to fast food chains with signature creations like the Wendy’s Baconator or the Jack in the Box Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburger, bacon continues to hold its own as a cultural staple. National Bacon Lovers Day is the moment to acknowledge that popularity — and perhaps to ask whether there can ever be too much bacon.
