Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Denver loves bacon. And tomorrow morning, when thousands of hungover hipsters sit down to brunch, they'll be getting their bacon fix with eggs, in Bloody Marys, even on doughnuts, as Lauren Monitz reported in her list of Seven Dishes That Prove Bacon is Alive and Well — and Totally American. But some readers didn't approve of her meaty menu. Says Emily:
It is not actually "bacon." It is pig. It is a once living, sentient being. Try coconut bacon. It's much healthier.
Ummm, coconut bacon! Where will you be eating brunch tomorrow? And will you be eating bacon?
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
