"Whenever I fire up the grill, I actually have neighbors who seem to magically
appear when they smell my food, and you should see what happens when I add
bacon to the mix," said McCargo. "Cooking with Wright(R) Brand Bacon is my
secret weapon to add excitement, bold flavor and crispy texture to summer
dishes, and it keeps my guests coming back for more."

Made from hand-selected and hand-trimmed meat and slow smoked with natural
hardwoods for eight hours, Wright(R) Brand Bacon has been the bacon-lovers
bacon since 1922. Its hearty taste, thick cut and premium quality makes it an
excellent choice that cooks up well both on and off the grill.

"Sharing favorite dishes with families and friends is often what makes summer
gatherings memorable, so it's important to many home cooks that ingredients
are the best they can be," said Harold Heinze, director of marketing for
Wright(R) Brand products. "With Wright(R) Brand Bacon, we're committed to
giving bacon lovers more of what they love about bacon by delivering a
full-flavored, Bigger, Better Bacon experience each and every time."

Whether the lineup of summer fare calls for a savory salad, grilled meat main
dish or satisfying side, Wright(R) Brand Bacon pairs perfectly with so many
foods because it comes in a variety of flavors, including: Naturally Hardwood
Smoked Bacon, Applewood Bacon, Peppered Bacon and Maple Flavored Bacon.

To experience how adding Wright(R) Brand Bacon to favorite summertime dishes
makes them even better, Aaron McCargo Jr. suggests these ways to buddy-up
bacon with all kinds of foods:

-- Bacon and Beef: From classic bacon-wrapped fillets to bacon burgers,
combining bacon with beef keeps the meat succulent and adds bold
flavor
and crispy texture. Looking for an extreme bacon experience and
can't decide between burgers or dogs? Aaron's Bacon
Burger-Style Hot Dog is the perfect solution.
-- Bacon and Veggies: Topping summer-fresh salads with pieces of crisp
cooked bacon turns a simple starter into a savory, satisfying dish.
With
Wright(R) Brand Peppered Bacon, go beyond lettuce salads by adding
pieces into other bountiful summer vegetable sides or salads, such as
kernels of roasted corn or chopped homegrown tomatoes dressed with a
light vinaigrette.

-- Bacon and Cheese: From soft cow's milk cheeses and creamy, pungent
goat's milk cheese to sharp cheddar and blue cheese with a bite,
bacon's smoky flavor goes with every cheese imaginable. To put an
impressive bacon-cheese twist, or rather roll, on grilled chicken, try
Aaron's Chicken Roulade Stuffed with Wright(R) Brand Smoked Bacon,
Spinach and Gouda Cheese.
