Bacon & Barrels is headed to San Diego this May 30 - May 31 for a festival showcasing local chefs’ most imaginative recipes incorporating bacon, and the best artisan and craft barrel beverages such as bourbon, beer, wine, and scotch - with a portion of ticket sales going to benefit the Surfrider Foundation. The event includes over 140 food and libation booths with all-inclusive tastings from some of Santa Barbara’s hottest boutique wineries and unique, high-end small batch whiskey, scotch and tequila from local purveyors as well as live music from popular indie bands. There will also be a selection of craft beers to taste while enjoying a variety of inventive and unexpected bites from participating chefs, as well as a special dinner with Top Chef alum Brooke Williamson!
Bacon & Barrels was started in 2013 in Los Olivos, Santa Barbara’s wine country, and always attracts a sellout crowd as soon as tickets go on sale. Based on the success and popularity in the north, this upscale and fun food festival is headed south to San Diego for a 2-day event that brings together fresh recipes incorporating bacon with the best artisan and craft barrel beverages and live music.
