Last night we held our annual Bacon Ball at Zingerman’s Roadhouse. Our special guest for the evening was  Rolando Beramendi, founder of Manicaretti Italian Food Importers. Rolando and Roadhouse Chef Alex Young put together a terrific menu based on the evening’s theme of Pancetta, Pasta, and Passion.

Here are some of the highlights of the evening:
