National Bacon Day

Brad Davis/The Register-Herald
Shoney's General Manager Rodney Sweatte adds to an already heaping pile of fresh bacon as he keeps the breakfast bar stocked at the restaurant's Oak Hill location Tuesday morning. Today is both national and international bacon day, and it's by far one of the tastiest unofficial holidays to celebrate. Everything is better with bacon, and for some that includes ice cream, chewing gum, drinks, even bacon scented soaps and air fresheners. One could also visit any Shoney's, who cook up and serve hundreds of pounds of it per week, on any given morning and eat it by the handful if they so desire. Please though, celebrate this glorious day responsibly.
