Just like it sounds, Baconfest Chicago is a celebration of all things bacon-y.

This year's celebration will take place on April 20, 2013. Your first chance to get VIP tickets for the lunch and dinner shifts is Monday at 9 a.m. Baconfest officials plan to release just 175 VIP tickets per shift.

General-admission charges is $100. VIPs get shorter lines and more time to try the different bacon dishes prepared by more than 50 Chicago chefs.

General tickets should be available in February, though the exact day hasn't been announced.
