Happy International Bacon Day! One of the most critical foodie days of the year, we celebrate with a guide of our best bacon dishes in the DC metro area. On this day, we gather with family to share the love and taste of everything that can have Bacon. The only thing better than Bacon is the best Bacon! Can Bacon have more Bacon? Let’s answer this question with our guide.
Flap Jack Bacon Cupcake @ Baked & Wired
Nothing says Bacon like a bacon Cupcake from one of our favorite cupcake places, Baked & Wired. They know their cupcakes and bring them to a whole new level. Forget Georgetown Cupcake; they have nothing on this bacon goodness. There is so much Bacon here that it will surely make any sweet and savory lover happy. It sure did us, which is why it is one of our favorite bacon dishes.
Bacon Maple Gelato @ Urban Butcher
This dessert is simple yet beautifully complex, unlike anything you will ever eat. First, you will be impressed with the sugary sculpture on top, followed by the lightly refreshing flavor of the gelato. It is not too sweet and does not have too much Bacon; the right amount of bacon goodness makes this one of our favorite bacon dishes.
Bacon Honey Pizza @ Lia’s by Chef Geoff
Oh, honey, you are so Bacon! This perfect sweet and savory mixture on a light and crunchy personal pizza makes for an ideal bacon meal—a perfect combination that makes this one of our favorite bacon dishes in town.
Bacon Lollipops Appetizer @ Founding Farmers
The name alone explains why this is one of our favorite bacon dishes: Bacon Lollipops. They are a perfect appetizer or even dessert, with bacon sweetness in every bite!
Caramel Glazed Bacon Donut @ Gypsy Queen Food Truck
Holy Bacon is a Bacon Donut with a lot of sweetness. There is so much Bacon and sugar in there that this could power the world. Yeah, all that made this one of our favorite bacon dishes.
Tom Nevers Sandwich @ Jetties
Everything about this sandwich is excellent, and it’s one of our favorite orders at this sandwich shop. It’s not just the perfect layers of ham and turkey that make it so good, but also the thick layer of crunchy Bacon. You can taste it through the multiple layers of all that meat.
Chocolate Bacon Milkshake @ Papermoon Diner
The thick goodness of chocolate and Bacon perfectly combines this milkshake. It would bring all the boys to the yard, but I won’t let them near it. ALL MINE!!! With all that amazing flavor, it is one of our favorite bacon nomnoms in the area.
Big Daddy Bacon Burger @ Burger Tap & Shake
Who is your daddy? Bacon is your daddy! Especially when you are biting into this bacon burger goodness. There is so much meat in there, and it is one of our favorite burgers in the area.
