The reviews are in, the winners have been announced, and oh yeah... pictures and video of strippers wrestling in bacon and lard. Enjoy:
-1HRx StaffWhat is Bacon Cup?There are two things we love here in Portland, bacon and weed. Since Amsterdam has Cannabis Cup (and weed is not exactly legal in Oregon, yet), One-Hour Pharmacy (1HRx) Entertainment has put together the event to end all events, a competition honoring the salty grilled swine known to some as candy meat... we are, of course, talking about bacon!

On Saturday, July 14th at the Ash Street Saloon (225 SW Ash in Portland, OR, click for map), master chefs, cooks and wizards will submit their best bacon-induced creations for the judging audience (as well as a celebrity panel), who will consume, rate and review the creations. Some will enter, some will attend, many will lose and everyone will win. In the end, we do it all for the love of bacon, music, strippers and all things Portland.
Speaking of whiny vegans, this event is not designed to alienate anyone. In fact, Muslims, Jews, vegans and diabetics alike can rejoice, as turkey bacon, fake bacon, bacon-flavored non-bacon and all varieties of pseudo-food will be available. Of course, Bacon Cup will focus primarily on the dripping, pain-filled protein made from the blood and sweat of adorable piglets, but we're not gonna hate on the tofu folks either.
As the doors open, Ash Street Saloon will fill with bacon lovers, chefs and musical performers. This 21-and-over crowd will then enjoy a brief introduction to the event from host Statutory Ray before the festivities begin. Bands will play short sets, during which time individual contestants will showcase their bacon creations one-by-one. At the end of the event, votes will be tallied while stripp... er, professional wrestlers with female anatomy and rip-able clothing will duke it out in a kiddie pool full of bacon. Wombstretcha the Magnificent will read his "Brief History of Bacon (Part 2)."
At the end of the night's performances, the winners are announced and anyone in possession of a V.I.P. bracelet will be invited to join in the bottomless bacon deep-fried buffet bonanza, while everyone in attendance enjoys live music from the winner of our Warped Tour Can Suck It contest (click here or read on for more info on that). Everyone will go home happy, and the dawn of a new day will be soaked in greasy pig sweat!
