Nobody Told Me There Would Be Bacon

I'm generally tired of reading people on the Internet obsessing about bacon, but this sad news from today's Pioneer Press bears mentioning:

No more free bacon in downtown Stillwater. After 2 1/2 years, Stone's Restaurant and Lounge -- which became known for serving free bacon strips at the bar -- has closed.

I've eaten at Stone's numerous times in the last 2 years, enjoyed it every time, yet NEVER had any inclination free bacon was being served. Who knows how many additional times I, and similarly ignorant Stillwaterian carnivores, would have shown up for drinks/dinner had we known.  It might have been enough to save the joint.  Tragic really.

Advertising, people, advertising.
