# Did someone say bacon? Bacn.com launches as premium bacon shop

[![Bacn your online source for premium bacon](https://i0.wp.com/siliconflorist.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/imgbacn.png?w=925)](http://bacn.com "Bacn your online source for premium bacon")Sure. Sure. You’ve heard the [bacon meme](http://ask.metafilter.com/110390/Where-did-the-bacon-meme-start "Bacon meme"). You’ve seen the [bacon shirts](http://www.baconshirts.com/ "Bacon Shirts"). You’ve even been known to giggle at a “[\#bacon](http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23bacon "#bacon")” on Twitter, once or twice.

But where, in your world of daily Web life, are you to go for the slivers of salty goodness from the [magical meat animal](http://www.snpp.com/episodes/3F03.html "Lisa the Vegetarian on Bacon")?

Portland-based [Bacn](http://bacn.com "Bacn")—a side project launched today by [Scott Kveton](http://twitter.com/kveton "Scott Kveton"), [Jason Glaspey](http://twitter.com/jasonglaspey "Jason Glaspey"), and [Michael Richardson](http://twitter.com/mtrichardson "Michael Richardson") at [Masterbacon](http://siliconflorist.com/2009/01/07/masterbacon-more-techie-bacon-love-than-you-can-shake-a-strip-of-bacon-at/ "Masterbacon")—aims to answer that very question.

> Bacn.com is your new source for high-quality bacon products, wrapped in butcher paper and delivered to your door all with the click of a mouse. We’ll have customer reviews and of course a [few howtos](http://bacn.com/howto "Bacn.com howto section") to help you in your quest to fulfill that “bacon passion.”

Given that few things go as well together as the Web and bacon, it’s surprising that it has taken someone this long to stumble upon this brilliant idea. But when Kveton’s [Bacon Geek](http://bacongeek.com "Bacon Geek") site took off in popularity and he began working to find the world’s best bacon, he saw an opportunity—albeit a strangely Web 1.0 opportunity for someone so awash in the world of the Open Web.

And that’s likely why this will work.

Bacn is about as straightforward as you can get, offering up the best bacon products you can find. Initial suppliers include [Beeler’s](http://bacn.com/vendor/beelers/ "Beeler's info on Bacn.com"),[ Broadbent Hams](http://bacn.com/vendor/broadbent-hams "Broadbent Hams on Bacn.com"), [Burgers’ Smokehouse](http://bacn.com/vendor/burgers-smokehouse "Burgers' Smokehouse on Bacn.com"), and [Fletcher’s](http://bacn.com/vendor/fletchers "Fletcher's on Bacn.com"). And with Bacn’s straightforward ordering system, those products will be on the way to your doorstep with a few clicks.

For those with discerning bacon palates, the site provides insightful details about each offering, including videos on the products.

[I told you](http://siliconflorist.com/2008/12/04/portland-web-innovators-portland-tech-2008-in-a-word-community/ "Watch bacon geek in 2009") that this idea had potential.
