We have never mentioned Sir Francis Bacon on this site before today. Go ahead and do a search in the box above.

We made a conscious decision about a year ago that this site would be dedicated to all the best news about bacon and not about people named bacon. With the exception of a couple of relevant stories about actor Kevin Bacon, we have held true to that decision.
