South Philadelphians are getting ready to celebrate spooky season by pigging out.
Bake’n Bacon, Philadelphia’s only bacon-themed restaurant located in Bella Vista, is introducing Porktoberfest, celebrating its favorite meat throughout the month.
The restaurant, located at 1148 S. 11th St., is celebrating its namesake menu item until Halloween, with a menu featuring a pork board, inventive sandwiches, chocolate-covered bacon, bacon beer and more.
In addition, the Bake’n Bacon will offer a Halloween experience called “Boojie Boo” in its brand-new, stylish, second-floor lounge, which features a two-sided fireplace, 25-foot ceilings, black and white walls and several large crystal chandeliers. Halloween decorations will provide the perfect backdrop for a spooky adventure with oversized scary creatures, skulls and spider webs. Guests who dress up in costume throughout the month will receive a $10 gift certificate to be used during a future visit.
“We adore Halloween, so we wanted to deck out our new second-floor lounge to create a spooky dining and lounging experience unlike anything else in Philadelphia,” said Bake’n Bacon chef/owner Justin Coleman. “The space turned out beautifully, and we’re really excited to finally host guests there after spending all summer building it.”
Bake’n Bacon originated as a food truck company and opened its restaurant in December. It specializes in gourmet bacon sandwiches and other bacon-centric offerings. The business has crafted more than 20 combinations using thick-cut applewood smoked bacon, pairing them with a number of different proteins, veggies, jams, sauces and more. Bake’n Bacon is open for dinner Wednesdays through Sundays, and for brunch Saturdays and Sundays.
During October, Bake’n Bacon is offering a variety of specials including its centerpiece “Pork Board” ($89), which features loaded mac & cheese with smoked chipotle tomato sauce and bacon crumbles, bacon burnt ends, caramel ribs, bacon grilled cheese with house-made smoked chipotle tomato sauce, hand-dipped chocolate covered bacon and a peach bacon chutney paired with crostini.
A Triple Bacon Burger ($32) and a Peach Bacon Burger ($25) both feature wagyu beef and the Bacon Lobster Alfredo ($34) includes linguine tossed in garlic butter alfredo, smoked pork belly burnt ends, bacon crumbles and lobster; a Bacon Lobster Roll ($30) features lobster tossed in garlic butter and topped with bacon slices and bacon crumbles. Signature Sweet Fries ($13), chocolate covered strawberries with bacon shavings for ($12) and rum, bourbon or vodka-infused options ($18) are tempting add-ons. A creative Halloween-themed list of cocktails and beers will be at guests’ fingertips.
