Bacon Restaurant Forced to Close after San Francisco Residents Complain of Aroma of Bacon
Washington Free Beacon ^ | May 17, 2013 11:54 | BY: Washington Free Beacon Staff

A popular San Francisco restaurant called Bacon Bacon must shut its doors Friday after failed negotiations with neighbors who complained about the smell of bacon.

The restaurant serves burgers, grilled cheeses, breakfast sandwiches, and more, all served with bacon. It also runs a food truck, which roams the city providing San Franciscans with bacon.

But now that’s over, the San Francisco Examiner reports:

But now a popular pork-focused restaurant in the Upper Haight must close its doors Friday following months of failed negotiations with neighbors over neighborhood concerns about porcine aroma and grease disposal.

Department of Public Health officials say the owners of Bacon Bacon, located at 205A Frederick Street, have had months since opening the space to address these and other concerns. But following their failure to do so, the restaurant must shut its doors.

The announcement has created a swell of online support for the cafe, including an online petition on the Bacon Bacon website with more than 1,600 signatures from Bay Area residents who support the operation. Owner Jim Angelus said he’s overwhelmed by the support.

“It’s frustrating,” Angelus told the Examiner. “Two weeks ago, the health department showed up saying we had no permits. So we had a hearing and one person showed up saying they were opposed. They told us we had long enough to resolve these issues — and as a result, we have to cease operations May 17.”

On first glance, I thought the article was from the Washington Free Bacon!

Lots o' pork barrelling, though not lots o' bacon!

Next: CAIR will condemn all mentions of pork-barrel spending as offensive.
Congress will cave and use ‘goat-barrel’ instead.

Only SanFranfaggies would complain about the smell of bacon.

There are even muzzies out there who pork out on the sly.

<There is something seriously wrong with anyone who does not like the smell of bacon.

I was vegan for 3 years, then started eating a little meat (including bacon), then decided to go vegetarian. That said, there are few aromas in the world as enticing as bacon! When I ate meat, I used to buy the paks of pre-cooked bacon and just eat the strips straight from the box. Yummy, but I needed to stop.

“Because it is tempting too many vegans.”

I read that bacon is the meat that causes more vegans to fall off the wagon than any other meat.

Bacon - the gateway meat!

So can one also complain about the aroma of the bums and winos that litter the Streets of San Francisco? (And imagine the trauma on the schnozz of Karl Malden)

The smell of bacon probably doesn't make homosexuals feel sexy. And this of course is their highest goal in life.

The bacon restaurant just needs to get a fume scrubber that emits an anal sex smell. Then the neighborhood won’t let them close.

If a conservative doesn't want bacon, he doesn't order bacon, If a liberal doesn't want bacon, he closes the restaurant down.
