We love Benton's Bacon! 🥓

Today is 🥓National Bacon Lovers Day!🥓

Did you know that was a thing? Well it sure is and so Christy and I couldnt let the day pass without acknowledging the kings of pork!

Allan and Darrell Benton represent the best of what a small business is and what hard work can turn out! A little unassuming shop on Hwy 411 in Madisonville serves up the best bacon money can buy! On top of that, they are wonderful friends.

You won’t find any better! Don’t believe us? Ask Michelin star chefs! This bacon is even requested as far away as Hong Kong! A family affair living the dream!

If you want some of your own and can’t make it to Madisonville, check out bentonscountryham.com where you can order online! 🥓🍖🐷
