If you’ve attended any of the previous six Baconfests, you might be forgiven for viewing it as a wanton orgy of shameless gluttony. Even if the idea of a fat-slicked horde gorging on bacon while Rome is burning is something you revel in, you might take some small pride in the fact that over four years Baconfest has donated almost $220,000 and a little over 14,000 pounds of food to the Greater Chicago Food Depository.
