Blue Ribbon Hunter eats its way through the KC Bacon Festival

Blue Ribbon Hunter, Yahoo’s travel food competition show, attended this year’s Kansas City Bacon Festival, the annual benefit for the Rehabilitation Institute of Kansas City. They interviewed meat lovers and chefs alike to find out why our city enjoys pork belly as much as we do. There’s the Local Pig’s bacon and waffles dish, Ameristar’s cheesecake bites covered in chocolate and candied bacon, and Trezo Mare’s tempura-fried pork belly wrapped in bacon. Blue Ribbon Hunter also tracked down the recipe for the winning entry: a Bacon Benedict from David Derr of Art Institutes International. You can watch the video here.
