San Francisco Neighborhood Fights Bacon Invasion

Thursday, 11 July 2013 | by Pat's Picks

Resident’s of San Francisco’s Haight-Asbury neighborhood are up in arms, says the Wall Street Journal. The peace-loving residents recently worked to shut down a restaurant called Bacon Bacon because “the scent of bacon grease was blowin’ in the wind.” Now bacon fans are lining up—some 3000 turned out last week—to protest what they see as an unfair smear against their favorite meat. For the record, flavor scientists say while cooked bacon sends off that delicious smell most people know and love, the by-products can smell like paint of wet cardboard.
