Celebrating International Bacon Day with a Lobster Twist

There are few foods that spark as much universal joy as bacon. Smoky, crispy, and satisfyingly savory, bacon has earned its spot as the star of breakfast plates and the secret upgrade in countless recipes. That’s why every year on the first Saturday of September, food lovers across the globe come together to celebrate International Bacon Day—a holiday dedicated to honoring this sizzling favorite.

A Quick History of International Bacon Day

International Bacon Day isn’t a centuries-old holiday, but its story is as fun as the food itself. The celebration is believed to have started in the late 1990s when a group of college students in Massachusetts decided bacon deserved its own holiday. What began as a quirky campus tradition quickly caught fire—literally sizzling its way into kitchens, restaurants, and social media feeds worldwide. Now, bacon lovers from the U.S. to Australia mark the first Saturday of September by sharing recipes, hosting cookouts, and indulging in creative bacon-inspired dishes.

Meet the Lobster BLT Roll

Our Lobster BLT Roll is where tradition meets indulgence. We start with sweet, decadent Maine lobster, then layer it with crisp lettuce, fresh tomato, and thick-cut bacon. Each bite is a perfect balance of buttery, briny lobster and smoky, salty bacon—creating a roll that’s hearty, fresh, and absolutely addictive.

It’s a flavor pairing that proves bacon doesn’t just belong at breakfast—it belongs anywhere lobster does.
