That looks like the right ratio of bacon to everything else.

Smell that? That’s bacon, and it’s coming to your town. Bacon-Fest, the annual fundraiser for the Rehabilitation Institute of Kansas City, is set for Saturday, August 25. Head to the facility’s parking lot (3010 Main) from 2 to 5 p.m. to munch on bacon dishes from a dozen local restaurants and area butchers (including Local Pig and Paradise Locker Meats).

Wash it all down with bacon vodka and beer from four stations throughout the event. Tickets cost $40 in advance or $50 at the door. VIP admission ($100) buys you an extra hour of beer and bacon, access to the VIP tent, and a T-shirt and a commemorative cup to take home.
