Two years ago, Denny’s celebrated Baconalia by rolling out a line of bacon-heavy dishes, like Pepper Bacon & Eggs, the Ultimate Bacon Breakfast, the Spicy Pepper Bacon Jack Burger, and the Maple Bacon Sundae.
Last year, there wasn’t a Denny’s Baconalia celebration. I don’t know why, but my guess is that the previous Baconalia celebration caused the swine population to dwindle to the brink of extinction.
This year, Baconalia is back and Denny’s has not only brought back a few entrees from their previous celebration, but they’ve also introduced a pig’s worth of new bacon menu items.
Caramel Bacon Stuffed French Toast
A sweet and savory layer of bacon white chocolate spread between two thick slice of French toast, all of which is topped with caramel sauce and diced bacon. It’s served with two eggs, two hickory-smoked bacon strips, and warm syrup.
Pepper Bacon Avocado Omelette
A three-egg omelet with diced pepper bacon, fresh avocado, fire-roasted peppers and onions, mushrooms, American cheese, and pico de gallo. It’s served with hash browns and your choice of bread.
Ultimate BLT
Four strips of pepper bacon, spring mix vegetables, tomatoes, fresh avocado, and a creamy pepper spread between toasted sourdough bread. It’s served with a side of wavy-cut French fries.
Bacon Pepper Jack Tilapia
Grilled seasoned tilapia topped with sautéed spinach, diced bacon, and pico de gallo. Smothered with a Pepper Jack cheese sauce and served with your choice of two sides and dinner bread.
BBQ Bacon Mac ‘n Cheese Bites
Six golden brown fried macaroni and cheese bites with bits of bacon. Served with BBQ sauce and a side of warm Pepper Jack cheese sauce topped with bacon.
Bacon Cheddar Red-Skinned Potatoes
Seasoned red-skinned potatoes topped with Cheddar cheese and diced bacon. Available as a side choice.
Maple Bacon Milk Shake
Hand-dipped milk shake blended with premium vanilla ice cream, maple-flavored syrup, diced bacon, and topped with whipped cream.
Salted Caramel Brownie Sundae with Bacon
A warm salted caramel brownie topped with premium vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce, and diced bacon.

BACON BACON
bacon wrapped in bacon
I just want to bacon with all this bacon!
I would love to try some bacon at Denny’s bacon-alia. I haven’t been to a Denny’s since I was a kid.
I wonder how long this bacon obsession will last, and what will replace bacon.
We love bacon so much, we used to get visited by the Bacon Bandit leaving us bacon recipes for thinks like Bacon wrapped asparagus and bacon wrapped pork chop (so really bacon wrapped bacon). BACON!
Bacon wrapped chicken glazed with bacon!
“Bacon bacon.” -The Little Ceasar’s guy after going to Baconalia
Yo, Bacon Bacon, I love Bacon, Bacon Bacon Bacon!!!!!!!!!!!
I made Colcannon for dinner. Sautéed the cabbage in bacon and sprinkled the top with more bacon.
Tomorrow I will make chocolate covered bacon with thick cut bacon.
Yum!
I like bacon, yes I do; I like bacon, how bout you?
Shall we make a bacon pun or should we just leave it at bacon?
Do you think Kevin Bacon would like the bacon at Denny’s?
i totally wanna throw bacon in the air like confetti! baconbaconbacon
I looove bacon. Bacon!
bacon bacon bacon bacon
Even though the idea of bacon with my desserts still sounds disgusting, I wouldn’t mind trying that Salted Caramel Brownie Sundae with Bacon.
I hate bacon. Bacon is overrated.
I’ll just go with my order that I’d use the card for. A big plate of Bacon, with a side of Bacon, and the whole thing covered in bacon bits. And as long as I’m there I’d have to try the Seasoned red-skinned potatoes topped with Cheddar cheese and diced bacon.
Does it bother anyone that these bacon-laden dishes are so high in bacon? Me either.
Bacon,bacon! I want some bacon!
BACON WRAPPED IN BACON STUFFED WITH BACON, BATTERED THEN ALL DEEP FRIED IN
B-A-C-O-N.
Can I get some bacon with a side of bacon please?
I love bacon. I love bacon.
Is it bad I was slightly expecting this to just be a giveaway for a package of raw bacon? I’d rather use the money to get a bacon sundae and realize (for the third time) how bad of an idea it is.
Bacon is love. Bacon is life.
Bacon shake? Yes please.
Kevin BACON is a good actor
I need bacon wrapped in bacon. Please.
Here’s a bacon haiku:
Bacon is tasty
But too much of a good thing
Can cause pain or death
Mmmm….bacon. I loves me some bacon!
oh I love bacon so much! give me some bacon!!
Bacon Bacon Bacon Bacon Bacon Bacon Bacon Bacon Eggs Bacon
I want that bacon brownie and that bacon omelet
Pepper Bacon Avocado Omelet should be served with a side of the Bacon Cheddar Potatoes. Why didn’t they do bacon wrapped bacon sausage?
I’m such a bacon fan. And we’re getting a Dennys right next to my work, so I’ll be able to bacon it up whenever I want!!!!
Where’s the bacon wrapped and bacon stuffed turducken?
i’ll take the caramel bacon stuffed french toast. with a salted caramel brownie sundae with bacon for dessert. DON’T JUDGE ME.
bacon bacon?
If bacon is wrong, then I don’t wanna be right! Hit me with a triple shot of that delicious, crispy fried BAAAAAACON!!!!
i like my bacon wrapped in bacon!
Over winter break a dennys opened up in my town and pretty much became our new go-to “it’s 4am and we just finished playing board games and/or are drunk” spot so GOOD TIMING on this. Even though I usually choose sausage over bacon. also, bacon.
Bacon bacon bacon, i love bacon!
Bacon, bacon, bacon, bacon, bacon, bacon, it’s bacon!
the only thing better than bacon, is an entire bacon menu.
Bacon is overrated. But in moderation, bacon can be quite good but there is such a thing as too much bacon.
If I won this, I could eat bacon and not feel bad. I try to be good and only keep turkey bacon at home, but it just isn’t the same.
Bacon bacon BACON shake sounds awesome!!
I would like to try the next round of Baconalia, I will represent bacon to the fullest in every endeavor possible. I ate a pound of bacon in 5 minutes last year at the bacon eating contest at Baconfest here and I will improve my status this year! LONG LIVE BACON! 😀
oh and I almost forgot, I made a whole dj routine about bacon too : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ew9vDBYjNWk
nWo 4 Life bacon bacon
His dark brown eyes, the color of the finest apple wood smoked bacon pierced through me to my very soul. I struggled against the bacon bonds that secured my wrists and ankles to the bed. Tiny trickles of bacon grease rolled off his chin to my supple lips, I drank hungrily.He pulled out the bacon whip, each strand well done and crispy. I was terrified and excited all at once, terrified of my punishment, excited that I could have my punishment with pancakes in the morning.
I love bacon and wonder if there will ever be bacon shampoo.
Those bacon mac n’ cheese bites look delicious. I love bacon.
baconalia needs to be a national holiday. You can never go wrong with bacon. Bacon for life!!!
my cousin just went to Denny’s and did not get ANY bacon! As a (mostly) paleo eater, I can say I’ve had takeout bacon from the D many a time. 🙂
I love bacon. I love my friends. If one of my friends eats my bacon, they are my friend no more. The bacon will never betray me.
Bacon is the new bacon!
I don’t usually do Denny’s, but I did try it during the last Baconalia. Bacon bacon everywhere. Had the BLT. The bacon wasn’t bad but the rest of the sandwich was lame. I would love to try the desserts this time!
Am I achin’? For some bacon? Why, yes, I am. I want all those bacon meals!
Tacos in a bacon shell, and a bacon frenzy from Denny’s. Those mac and cheese bites with bacon are looking like a nice snack.
I’d have to get the pepper bacon avacado omelet! Or, maybe the ultimate BLT… Definitely not down with the bacon + sweet concept but bacon + avacado = YUM!
Would love to get this to go eat tons of delicious bacon with my bro.
….bacon. 😉
Bacon is great. I love me some bacon!
Bacon my bacon homie.
Let me win. I want to eat BACON! Lots of BACON. BACON BACON BACON
Isn’t bacon just fantastic, I mean everything is just better with bacon but everyday I am saddened by the fact that my mother, my own mother, is the only person on Earth who doesn’t like bacon, oh cruel fate, why have you given her this curse that she must live with?!?
Ode a la Bacon
Bacon
Reminds me of Epic Mealtime
So much frying
And flipping
Honestly
…
I don’t always enjoy bacon
On its own
But look there!
Bacon a la mode?
Bacon in a milkshake?
Okay
Uhm
That’s somewhat strange.
I’d try it anyways.
😛
Bacon, Bacon, Bacon! I don’t think I’ve eaten at Denny’s in over 10 years.
Regular bacon is pretty good, but I bet Denny’s bacon tastes even better!
I feel like the dog from those Beggin Strips commercial – “Bacon! Bacon! Bacon! Bacon! ITS BACON!”
Im pretty sure I would destroy just about everything on the menu and go into a nice cozy bacon induced coma.
I’m ready to get my bacon on and try the Salted Caramel Brownie Sundae with Bacon along with the BBQ Bacon Mac ‘n Cheese Bites
I am curious about that Bacon Sundae or the Bacon shake…MMM. Bacon!
Is Denny’s bacon as good as home cooked bacon? If I win, I’ll report back !
To quote Diablo Cody, bacon is the chocolate of meats. Delicious, fabulous bacon.
BBQ Bacon Mac N Cheese is a heaven sent combination.
Bacon Caramel French Toast? I call Bacon dibs…
“Imma go get the bacon, get the bacon.” -jimmy two-times, goodfellas
Ohh Bacon everything sounds amazing! I love Bacon!
Bacon is good to eat, but is in no way related to Kevin Bacon.
Bacon Bacon. Simple to the point.
I would get the bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon spam eggs and bacon.
I want bacon because I love bacon. I hope I win some money so i can eat som bacon. Thank you. Kevin Bacon.
Can’t get enough bacon? Add more bacon!
My dog likes bacon.
mmmm the bacon french toast looks awesome, who loves bacon i do 🙂
I have never been to Denny’s, but I sure do enjoy bacon and would love to try all of their bacon goodies.
You mean bacon just twice and only twice? No more than twice? What if I wanted to say bacon three times in a row?
Bacon, the basic building block of meal awesomeness, is back at Denny’s, & I couldn’t be happier! Viva la bacon!
(Yep, that’s my real last name.)
10 ? Bacon
20 goto 10
run
bacon…
I like bacon. I like baking. My fiance thinks that sometimes I say I like bacon, when I say I like baking. I like baking bacon.
yo dawg i heard you like bacon, so I put bacon in your bacon so you can bacon while you bacon
I watch Kevin Bacon movies while I eat bacon, because bacon.
bacon! weee. bacon~~
i don’t dig on swine. bacon bacon.
BACON BACON
bacon on bacon action
I made chocolate chip cookies with bacon bits tonight. Now I’m trying to figure out which dessert I will incorporate bacon into next.
The best thing about bacon? The bacon. Bacon. Bacon, bacon, bacon.
Bacon wrapped in bacon.
Who wants bacon? This guy wants all the bacon!
When I go to Denny’s, I always make sure to get bacon. I always take my mom to eat there, but she doesn’t like bacon too much. Oh well, her loss!
I don’t always eat bacon, but when I do I make sure it’s Denny’s bacon.
Can’t wait to go to Denny’s and get my bacon on. Love me some bacon!
Yum! I love bacon. I must try all of these new bacon dishes (or at least a few of them).
BACON! BACON BACON BACON BAAAAAAACCCCCOOOOOONNNNNNNN!
Bakin’ with bacon is bacon-ing good 🙂
I absolutely love bacon in any and all forms. But I have to say I’m particularly partial to whole wheat pancakes (stuffed with charred bacon) and generously topped with a maple bourbon glaze!
Shake your bacon ass, Bacon tits.
My tio Pancho is an 80 year old man and if most people are 90 some percent water, he is 90 some percent beer. My goal is to be like that, but with bacon and Denny’s new bacon iten would help me get a great start.
I remember when Denny’s had Baconalia, used to go nearly everyday! It got to the point where the waitresses knew me by my name. But hey, sue me, I worked right next to the Dennys and no one can turn down bacon. One of my biggest regrets before the Dennys closed down was not trying the maple bacon sundae. bacon in an ice cream sundae sounds disgusting, but who knows? maybe it tasted delicious.
There was a Denny’s near where I used to live in California. When my biker friend camped out at my place, he’d take me out to breakfast the next morning if he had time. Breakfast would’ve usually included bacon. I don’t think they ever screwed up the bacon.
While I don’t love bacon as much as some people seem to, I’d love a chance to try these new bacon dishes.
I love bacon, everyone in my family loves bacon!
Bacon. Bacon. You’re so cool. Especially when I am super hungry for you!
My favorite thing ever is the Bacon Bacon cheeseburger from Jack in the Box.
I’m currently wearing a bacon themed t-shirt that has a pig saying “MMMMMMMM Bacon”
Reminds to go play The Baconing that I bought from Steam. Also, has anyone tried bacon strips on top of a maple bar donut? I’ve heard it’s darn tasty, and a perfect pair with the bacon.
I was bacon to ask, but then I bacon to realize that we were out of eggs 🙁
Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
Bacon is good,
…Bacon.
I could totally go for a bacon feast courtesy of this blog. There’s so much bacon here, though I still think there should be a chocolate-bacon as well as a maple-bacon shake. Don’t knock it til you try it!
I love bacon! I wish it were heathier so I could have it everyday!
I want bacon, bacon please!
BACON! BACON! BACON! BACON! BACON! BACON! BACON! BACON! BACON! BACON! BACON! BACON! BACON! BACON! BACON! BACON! BACON! BACON! BACON! BACON!

I had a piece of bacon earlier today, probably about a half hour ago. Maple smoked….delicious*
I need bacon to survive. Please help me live Impulsive Buy!!

Gotta admit, I’m looking forward to trying the bacon french toast. But is the milkshake replacing the bacon sundae? Now I wish I’d gotten it sooner.
And good lord, that bacon brownie? The only thing missing is pralines.
My friend once told me turkey bacon is as good as regular bacon.
He is wrong. I hate him.
I think bacon is bacon, go bacon yrself!
That three-egg omelet with bacon looks yummy, well actually they all look good. Can’t go wrong with bacon!

Life isn’t like a pound of bacon, cause you always know what your gonna get.
Bacon is as bacon does.
Why no bacon bread or bacon buns?
I love bacon. I’m not sure I’d eat a Sundae with bacon on it, but I know some people enjoy it.
I really want to try that maple bacon milkshake. Bacon is sooo delicious!
Oh my bacon this is beautiful. I wonder how many orders of bacon mac n cheese bites $20 will buy.
