This was a delicious story. Understanding the bacon trend meant trying Jack in the Box’s bacon milkshake, seeking out chocolate-covered bacon and researching all the bizarre ways people celebrate their love of bacon (bacon coffin, anyone?). Finding sources to talk about bacon wasn’t difficult either and very entertaining at times. The only difficulty I had was mispronouncing the town of Lebanon; an editor caught it the day before it was to air, so I had time to fix it. Missouri is definitely one of those states with hard-to-pronounce city names.
