Good Foods' All-Bacon Dinner Returns

Good Foods Catering

Dontaye Ball's bacon tastes better without the plastic.

​All Bacon Dinner No. 5
When: Sept. 17
Where: Same as it ever was
Cost: $55-$75

Six courses of bacon: does this sound like hog heaven?

If so, you'll want to reserve for Dontaye Ball's fifth edition of his All-Bacon Dinner, which will be held at the same secret San Francisco location (revealed upon reservation) as previous iterations of the meaty pop-up.

Ball has meat cred with us; Good Foods Catering won "Best Roaming Barbecue" in SF Weekly's 2010 Best-Of issue.

Diners can expect an informal yet convivial atmosphere, with communal tables of fellow porcine adventurers and Ball making you feel right at home. His bacon-laden menus are far from just sizzling strips. He showcases the ingredient with different preparations, techniques, and even amounts, so you end up full but don't feel like a pig. He even offers the whole menu to go for five bucks less ($60 to sit down, $75 with wine pairings, $55 to go). This time around, Ball offers a six-course menu of bacon popcorn, gazpacho with bacon and corn salsa, a deconstructed BLAT featuring housemade pork belly, stone fruit salad with bacon vinaigrette, roasted salmon with corn and squash, and a dessert-tasting. The wine pairing features selections from Portugal, Spain, and California.

Tickets for the Sept. 17 event may be purchased via Eventbrite.
