207. Bacon Mania ft. Eric Silver!

from PodCavern · host Tuong

This week, host Tom Zalatnai (@tomzalatnai) and guest Eric Silver (@el_silvero) talk about the Bacon Industrial Complex and the Bacon Mania of 2009. How did a massive PR campaign lead to this off cut of pork becoming an american breakfast staple? How did it save fast food chains from fading into obscurity? Is the Wendy's Baconator still an exciting amount of bacon? How is Obama-era recession economics responsible for the rise of Epic Meal Time? Plus, what happens when bacon, split peas, eggplant, and ketchup find their way into the Random Meal Generator? The post 207. Bacon Mania ft. Eric Silver! appeared first on PodCavern.
