    International Bacon Day Brunch

    Yes, Texan, there is an International Bacon Day – and we reckon this mid-day fête at Swoop House is the best way to celebrate it: two weeks early and with chef Dante Hill as the boss of this brunchy wonderment. Mmmmm, listen: pork carnitas in De Nada tortilla cups, wedge salad (with bacon bits, blue cheese dressing, and cracklin' cornbread with whiskey apple butter), eggs benedict (with brabant potatoes on the side), and a dessert called Elvis Presley Parfait: brûléed bananas with peanut butter mousse, candied bacon, and fresh whipped cream.
    Sat., Aug. 20, 11am. $40.
