Celebrate National Bacon Lovers Day with Baken Bacon
Whether you like it oven-baked, pan-fried, microwaved, peppered, or even sugared, bacon lovers everywhere can agree on one thing: that savory, smoky crunch is simply irresistible! And what better day to indulge than National Bacon Lovers Day, celebrated every year on August 20th.
This year, the celebration is extra special because it falls on Side Hustle Wednesday—a perfect time to spotlight two entrepreneurs who turned their passion for bacon into a thriving business. Meet Justin Coleman and Kelvin Alexander, the dynamic duo behind Bake’N Bacon, Philadelphia’s first and only bacon-inspired restaurant.
Founded in 2019 with just one food truck, Bake’N Bacon quickly gained a loyal following by reimagining bacon as more than just a breakfast food. Their bold menu blends bacon with a variety of proteins, fresh veggies, jams, sauces, and flavors that elevate every bite. From gourmet sandwiches to decadent sweets and inventive sides, their creations celebrate bacon in ways you’ve never tasted before.
After years of success on wheels, Justin and Kelvin opened their brick-and-mortar restaurant in South Philadelphia. More than just a dining spot, it’s a full experience: a beautifully designed interior, handcrafted cocktails, and of course, a menu where bacon takes center stage.
So today, let’s raise a fork to Bake’N Bacon—and to all the bacon lovers out there. Because bacon doesn’t just make breakfast better—it makes life better.
