Not just for breakfast

     It was officially Bacon Week at the Tropicana Casino in Atlantic City last week.  And as you might expect, bacon was on the menu for breakfast lunch and dinner.  On the extensive menu there were the usual items, like bacon blueberry pancakes and a BLT made with a full half pound of bacon.  And not surprisingly things like maple bacon apple fritters, bacon burger sliders, bacon wrapped fillets, bacon jalapenos corn bread and fried bacon wrapped jalapeno shrimp.

     But some restaurateurs got creative with things like chicken bacon cheesesteak tacos, bacon chocolate lava cake, bacon milkshakes and sundaes, and even a BLT pizza.  It went even further with a bacon banana sub and bacon wrapped bangers.  And also available were things like bacon candy, toothpaste, floss, and mints, not to mention all manner of bacon libations.

     If your taste buds needed a break you could shop for bacon images on clothing, bacon band-aids, bacon air-freshener, and even a bouquet of bacon covered bacon roses for Valentine's Day.

      The Tropicana was offering a special Bacon Week hotel package that included admission for 2 to their health club.  After consuming all that pork fat you would need to stay on the tread mill for quite awhile!
