New York

5pm Sunday at Radegast Beer Hall: 113 N 3rd St, at Berry

An awesomely off-topic recipe competition from the man behind Chili Takedown, this pork-a-palooza lets all comers sample 30+ bacon-based dishes (bacon chili, bacon pasta...bacon cobbler?) then vote on the winner, who'll be awarded $100 -- which should cover the copay at his cardiologist.
