How much bacon are we talking about here exactly?

In addition to our bacon-sampling stations, 35+ Michigan-based restaurants will be joining us, creating their bacon-infused specialties for all attendees to enjoy. All for one inclusive price, no extra charge or tickets to buy once you’re in the door!  You might want to consider not eating the day before. We know there will be die-hard bacon fanatics who will attempt to eat everything, we won’t judge you.
