I love Allan Benton. ‘I was country before country was cool.” There’s a new New York Times article about bacon, smoked hams, and the New York chefs that use them, all from right around here. We’ve always known country was cool…

David Luttrell did an amazing job documenting the planning of BaconFest for the Metropulse. He was kind enough to share his shots with Mockingbird. Below are a few selects that didn’t make it into the paper.

Thanks David!!
