Pork Shortage?

Perhaps you have heard some things about a possible pork shortage looming for 2013. If not, you can read about it here. Now that you’re up to date on this horrific turn of events, you should also know that many U.S. pork sources as well as the USDA claim that this alleged shortage will not affect the U.S. Phew. Read about these claims here and here. Yes, pork prices will undoubtedly continue to rise in the coming year, but that doesn’t mean will have to go without our favorite salty, fatty, crispy, and delicious bacon— among other pork products.

Obviously, when I first heard about the possibility of a pork shortage for 2013, my mind was instantly brought to the implications for Brunched in the Face. Bacon is a pretty important part of the menu, but don’t you worry, Brunchers, we will make it work. Even with increasing prices, I am hoping to develop good relations with local sources so that the global state of pork should not affect my menu. Either way, there will be delicious options and I am incredibly prepared in the case of a pork shortage.
