Bring your friends to sample small plate creations offered by 13 of our area's premier chefs--all dishes featuring bacon or pork! Dine in seated comfort at lunchtime -- either inside or outside under an awning, and have plenty of time to get back to your weekend upNorth activities! After sampling as many dishes as you wish, vote on your three favorites to help us select the winning chefs for 2018. BACN provides the bacon or pork to the chefs, whose restaurants generously donate all the rest of their ingredients.
