I don't know too many folks who don't love BACON. Bacon is a meat candy that makes damn near every thing better. What used to be exclusively for breakfast now can be used in almost anything from sandwiches, to salads to even ICE CREAM, bacon is delicious and a top 5 meat in America and I will hear no further debate on the topic.

That's why when I heard the news of a Texas town changing its name to showcase their love for this incredible meat candy, I was not only intrigued but I think its time to present an interesting challenge to an East Texas town named after something most folks have with breakfast too.

The Town Is Also The Birthplace Of Wright Brand Bacon

In 1922, Egbert Eggleston, his son Fay and son-in-law Roy Wright started the Wright Brand Bacon in the back of their small grocery store in Vernon 100 years ago according to the brand's website.

In celebration of those roots, the City of Vernon will be officially renamed Bacon City, USA from Sept. 16-17 and Wright Brand is looking for a mayor to preside over Bacon City.
