Bacon!

Rico is not the only one, as this article by Dylan Purcell in The Philadelphia Inquirer  proves:

Evan Weinstein believes it's bacon's time. "I feel like it's the age of pork," said Weinstein, one of the founders of the inaugural Pennsylvania Bacon Festival, a recent sold-out event at Xfinity Live! in South Philadelphia.
The "bacon-themed block party," as America Loves Bacon organizers referred to it, was held in a parking lot packed with bands, food trucks, vendors selling bacon themed t-shirts, bacon jams and bacon desserts, and thousands who paid $25 to get in.
"I don't even like bacon," Allison Pezzuto, said between bites of a maple-bacon-glazed funnel cake she was supposed to be sharing with friends. "I came along just in case they died of a heart attack," she joked.
For much of the cloudy afternoon, long lines of patrons hungry for swine-themed samplings far outnumbered any wait at the bars. The bands struggled for attention from audiences following their noses more than their ears. The meaty offerings ranged from spicy to sweet, proving pork's versatility. There were savory bacon sliders, hot dogs wrapped in bacon, chipotle-flavored bacon, cheese fries with bacon, and bacon Twinkies.
Brian Duffy, a local chef who has appeared on Spike TV's Bar Rescue, loves working with pork. He helped prepare, and provided his recipe for, a roast pig, a ten- to twelve-hour job. Still, one downside to bacon's popularity, he said, is that the soaring price of pork has "ruined it for chefs".
The event was a hit for festival partner Bespoke Bacon, a two-year-old Lansdale, Pennsylvania shop that served four types of bacon, including Big Pepper and jalapeño-cilantro. Bryan J. Cohen, Bespoke's chief curing officer, said that after a year on the beer-festival circuit, this was a way to reach new taste buds.
Among the new faces was George Schupp, 67, who traveled from Newark, Delaware for the festival. Wearing a shirt that said Praise the Lard, he was heeding the advice of a dietitian daughter: "Everything in moderation." Nevertheless, he bought some bacon jam to take home.
After sampling maple bacon and chipotle bacon, Joe Mastin said he was ready for dessert. He figured the long line, at least fifty people deep, for bacon Oreos was worth the wait. "I just know I like Oreos and I like bacon," he reasoned.
The event was not without hiccups. Originally slated for May of 2014 at the Piazza at Schmidts, it was rescheduled after outgrowing that space. In the scramble to lock in the Philadelphia date, organizers failed to realize the new date fell on Yom Kippur, the Jewish holiday known for fasting. Still, there were at least a few Jews there, including Weinstein, the promoter, and Cohen, the chief curing officer.
Stephanie Showalter entered the festival's female bacon-eating contest on a whim. After eating a pound of thick bacon slices faster than the nine other contestants, including a woman dressed as a strip of bacon wearing a bacon-printed tie, Showalter pounded the table in victory and collected the hundred-dollar prize. Wiping the grease from her hands, the newly crowned female bacon champion drank water to rinse out the saltiness, but was otherwise unaffected. "Who doesn't love bacon?" she asked.

Rico says that when Jews organize a bacon festival, it must be a sign of the End Times, or something...
