Chocolate dipped bacon, and bacon flavored chocolate ice cream are sure to be 2 of the favorites at this year’s Taste!

Denver, Colorado 9/2/2009 — Get ready to lick your fingers and smack your lips! Famous Dave’s in Denver has just announced that it will be selling Famous Bacon at this years, A Taste of Colorado over Labor Day weekend. Chocolate dipped and flavor spanked bacon best describes this flavorful combination, said Joel Bryant, Director of Operations, for Basic Food Group, a franchisee of Famous Dave’s Bar-B-Que. It’s just the right combination of sweet and salty, continued Bryant.

Famous Bacon, also known as Pig Lickers in other markets, was launched at the Minnesota State Fair, by Famous Dave’s last year to raving fans, and has gained a somewhat cult following and spawned several knock off versions of the original. We have recreated the recipe that had vegetarians eating bacon at last year’s Minnesota State Fair.

“Seeing the reaction on a guest’s face when they bite into Famous Bacon is the best part. There is always some hesitation because the combination is unique, but once they get the crunch from the bacon and the chocolate starts to melt in their mouth, they are hooked!” said Joel Bryant. “A Taste of Colorado is a great venue for us to introduce this product to the Denver market and let everyone know what they have been missing.”

Another new product being introduced combines three unique flavors, and is also destined to be a huge hit. Bacon, ice cream and chocolate can only mean one thing…. deliciousness. Bacon Ice Cream! That’s right Famous Dave’s will be selling bacon flavored chocolate ice cream, with bacon sprinkles. “We have been preparing and perfecting this recipe for almost a year now and can’t wait to see people enjoying this “Famous” product, said Joel Bryant. A Taste of Colorado is a great place for us to introduce new items, and have fun with our guests. It’s a great weekend, and we have a strong feeling it’s going to be even better with the new products on our menu.

The best part about the introduction of the new items is the price. Both are being offered at a very affordable price in order to encourage people to try them. 3 slices of chocolate dipped bacon will cost 4 tickets or the equivalent of $2.50, and a 4oz. serving of Bacon Ice Cream will cost 6 tickets or the equivalent of $3.75.

Our booth is located near the KYGO Country stage, stop by, say oink, and enjoy the best ribs in America!!
