Mercury may be in retrograde but bacon always flies high in Chicago. Late Wednesday the Baconfest Chicago organizers announced general admission tickets for the April 25-26 celebration of cured pork belly will go on sale Feb. 24 at noon. These tickets will sell out within minutes so you may want to put that date and time down on some calendar as a reminder if you want to attend and haven't bought VIP tickets already. The link to buy tickets is here.

The Baconfest Triumvirate also announced the chef lineups for all three sessions which will have some of you making tough decisions on which session to attend. Do you choose the session with the most starpower or the one with the chefs who will come up with the most inventive uses for bacon?
