Australian Bacon Week at Huxtaburger and Huxtable

Overview

We're still not sure if Australian Bacon Week is a gimmick or not, but — if we're being honest — we don't really care. We're happy to support Australian bacon as long as it's supporting us (by being a delicious wunderkind of the meat world, that is).

Want to get involved? Grab your fork. This year, it's Huxtable and Huxtaburger that are bringing home the bacon and using it two create two unique dishes that showcase the holy piece of pork. For the week of June 22-28, both venues will be serving up a limited edition bacon dish to celebrate Australian Bacon Week.

Huxtable will be plating up a cider braised kaiserfleisch with buttered cabbage and sweet mustard sauce for $26 (a.k.a. fancy bacon), while over at Huxtabuger, the guys will be flippin' their first ever BLT ($10). It's the Huxtaburger that you know and love, filled with a wagyu pattie, double smoked Istra bacon, lettuce, tomato and honey mustard mayonnaise. Don't forget the side order of chips with super spesh bacon salt. Or just mill around Smith Street for the smell.

Plus, we hear that Messina up the road is bringing their Kevin Bacon special back especially for Bacon Week. That's maple and whiskey gelato with a candied bacon crunch, so go the whole hog and eat bacon for dessert too.
