August is Bacon Month in Manitoba, home to Canada's largest bacon processing plant.
Manitoba Pork's "Bacon Makes it Better" campaign will be highlighted by several events and fund raisers throughout the month, including the "Barbecue and Blues Festival" the third week of August, a "Bacon Party" August 27 at the Pony Corral Pier 7 and the opportunity for Manitobans to enter to win "Bacon for a Year."
Rob Woods, the operations manager at Pony Corral Pier 7, a family oriented Winnipeg restaurant, says pork is a great entre and from pork loin to pork chops, to pork ribs, to bacon, to ham, pork offers endless opportunities and options for any chef.
Rob Woods-Pony Corral Pier 7:
Being that we are of Greek heritage pork plays a very large percentage of what we do from our pork ribees to our back ribs, to our lemon Greek ribs, to our bacon clubhouse sandwiches, our bacon cheese burgers, our bacon and eggs.
We have breakfast here on the weekends, open at 9:00 o'clock.
We go through an astronomical amount of bacon.
