Feb. 14 (UPI) — A Chicago restaurant is gaining viral attention for offering a tasty alternative to traditional Valentine’s Day flowers — a bacon bouquet.
Barbecue eatery Porkchop posted a photo to Facebook showing the unconventional bouquet, and the post quickly went viral.
The restaurant said the bouquets are made by rolling the strips of bacon into rosettes, deep frying them, and putting them on plastic stems. Bouquets of a dozen are being offered for $40, or $20 for six.
The eatery said orders have been pouring in from amorous fans of fried meat.
“We received quite a few orders. People are actually impressed, they are loving them. And what’s not to love? It’s bacon,” Porkchop owner Jovanis Bouargoub told WLS-TV.
