On Father's Day, Sunday, June 17, 2012, two of Orlando's most well-known food trucks, Big Wheel Provisions and C&S Brisket Bus, will place their house cured and house smoked bacon head to head to see who Orlando votes as "Best Bacon in Orlando."
Starting off as playful Twitter banter between the two trucks on whose bacon is best, Bacon Off has developed into a multi-sponsored event, with the promise to bring some friendly fire to Orlando's bacon lovers. As a first event of it's kind in Orlando, the $30 ticket price includes a bacon sampler plate from each truck, with tastes of bacon in 5 different categories; guests will vote on their favorite, and the winner of each category receives bacon bragging rights. Ticket price also includes access to a bacon-filled buffet and a free beer.
Bacon categories to include: Best Original Bacon, Best Novelty Bacon, Best Bacon Side, Best Bacon Product, Bacon Grand Champion.
Bacon Off is being held at the construction site of the new East End Market in the Audubon Park Garden District. To be opened in late 2012, the East End Market will be an indoor farmer's market, open to the public 7 days a week, and will also feature a commercial kitchen, restaurant, event space, office space and adjacent outdoor garden.
Tickets are $30 each, and can be purchased online or directly from the Big Wheel Truck or the C&S Brisket Bus during service hours.
