Plot Synopsis

BACONATION is a half-hour reality series that follows Nick Giordano, who embarks on a nationwide search for the best and most-creative bacon dishes in America. On Thursday, September 7, 2017 at 10pm ET/7pm PT, Cooking Channel premiered BACONATION's pilot, but the cable channel had no other episodes on its schedule at that time. In the pilot, "Bacon It to the Streets," Nick travels to Overtime Bacon Bar in Illinois, where the Bacon-Stuffed Burger packs a mouth-watering combination of bacon and cheese into a juicy beef patty. The Partisan in Washington, D.C., elevates bacon to an art form with Braised Pork Belly Over Pickled Cabbage. Virginia's Bayou Bakery blends bacon and caramel corn into a perfectly sweet and savory snack called Porkorn. Later Nick heads to Chicago where Paddy Long's Beer and Bacon Pub makes a campfire classic even more delicious with Bacon S'mores.
