The Bacon King Experience
What is the Bacon King Experience?
The Bacon King Experience is an interactive LIVE event where you can have a few beverages, learn the history of how bacon that you purchase in your local grocer is cured, and learn how Bacon King USA cures it's bacon. You will actually get your own 5 pound slab (pre-cure weight) of pork belly, choose your ingredients, and start your very own cure to make bacon. You will walk out of a Bacon King Experience with your 5 pound slab (pre-cure weight) of curing pork belly that you will finish the 10-day cure at home with all the instructions to make your bacon, a Bacon King T-Shirt, and the knowledge on how to make your own bacon for the rest of your days! Remember, this is Gourmet Bacon YOU Create!
The Bacon King Experience takes place currently in Saint Cloud, FL at Jimmy Bear's BBQ at 4247 13th Street, Saint Cloud, FL 34769
The Bacon King Experience can travel! If you have a group of people that want to learn how to cure bacon, we can bring the experience to you! All you need is a minimum of 10 people who want to learn how! We will do the rest!
