Yeah, you heard us right. Camp Bacon.  It’s this weekend and we’re getting ready to head out and join up with all of the Bacon Campers over at Zingerman’s in Ann Arbor, Michigan.  If you didn’t get tickets, don’t fret.  There’s a Bacon Street Fair in Ann Arbor, on Sunday, June 3rd, 2012, with admission […]

This past Saturday, Nueske’s had the pleasure of attending the Isthmus Beer & Cheese Festival in Madison, Wisconsin.  Let us assure you, there was no shortage of good brews, excellent cheeses, or Applewood Smoked Meats. For $40.00 a ticket, thirsty (and hungry) festival-goers from Madison and beyond flocked to the Alliant Energy Center Exhibition Hall […]

Our most recent tasting dinner was at Bark Hot Dogs in Brooklyn, just last night, and Nueske’s smoky specialties were prepared as part of each course and each course was served with a special Sixpoint Craft Ale.  Bark Hot Dogs has been a great partner to us and we were very happy that they paired […]

Recently, we’ve had quite a few people call us asking for an even thicker slice of bacon than our classic sliced Applewood Smoked Bacon – which was no slouch in the thickness department as it was.  In the past, we would have suggested that these individuals buy a piece of our unsliced slab bacon and […]

We know that a great many people are enjoying more heat in their foods these days.  Jalapeños, while on the low end of the heat scale, provide a little zip and the pleasant note of roasted pepper when cooked on the grill.  You can stuff these little peppers with a great many delicious things and […]

This year is one more that we can count our trip to the Fancy Food Show as a big success.  Nueske’s always has a good time at the show talking with chefs, restaurateurs, and our other food business friends – but it would be untrue to say we didn’t have just a little more fun […]

We’ve always been very proud of the flavor and quality of our meats, so we appreciate it when other people take notice of our specialties.  The N.A.S.F.T. (National Association for the Specialty Food Trade) is an organization that works with specialty food producers across the country and, once a year, the organization gives some very […]

Our Peppered Bacon Bread is a golden loaf of bread with a thick, chewy crust and an interior filled with bubbly, slightly sour dough enhanced with bits of zesty black tellicherry peppercorns and savory pieces of our Applewood Smoked Peppered Bacon. Simply cut into slices, toasted, and buttered; this bread is a winner.  If you […]

National Clam Chowder Day… with Bacon

Submitted by Megan
 

We were just told that today, February 25th, is National Clam Chowder Day.  You might wonder why we bring this up.  That’s simple: chowder is really, really good – but it’s even better with bacon.  Here in Wittenberg, we generally don’t make it any other way. You may not think of the Midwest when you […]

If you’re in the Chicago area, or even within reasonable driving distance, you’ll want to seriously consider getting tickets to this year’s Baconfest Chicago event.  Tickets may seem a bit pricey at $65.00… but only at first glance.  What a ticket gets you is an all-access pass to try dozens and dozens of dishes created […]
