‘Tis the highest of all foodie holidays … August 20th is #NationalBaconLoversDay. Whether you are looking for a quick treat, or a full on bacon-filled meal, we have rounded up the best spots to honor the 
day.
Sizzling Bacon at LON’s at Hermosa Inn
LON’s may be known for the beautiful ambiance and magic of the resort … but its today it’s known for bacon. A recent addition to their weekend brunch is the Sizzling Bacon dish. And sizzle it does. Featuring house-made peppered bacon, Noble bread, maple syrup and late harvest vinegar, this dish is sure to knock your socks off. The bacon is brought to the table in a heated skillet and the syrup is then drizzled over the bacon and bam … between the aroma and the sizzle … it’s a homerun every time!

Bacon & Cheddar Pull-Apart Rolls at The Grill Kitchen & Bar at Boulders Resort
I’m not quite sure there needs to be a description past “Bacon and Cheddar Pull Apart Rolls” … Indulge with soft rolls smothered in smoked cheddar fondue, crispy bacon and chives. It’s totally ok to not share these with the table and keep them for yourself.
