    If you love Bacon, you'll want to visit Bill E's in Fairhope, Alabama! This local restaurant features Bill-E's small-batch bacon in ways you won't believe.

    Bill-E's Bacon is serenaded by songwriters while it is smoked...seriously!

    The bacon goes through an 8-day curing process with pink salt and heavy-duty brown sugar made with real molasses. They use Berkshire Red and Chantilly White pigs raised on 25 Midwestern family farms.

    They rotate the pork bellies every other day to enrich the flavor. They are cold-smoked in hickory, creating a tender bacon flavor that is sweet and savory.

    We end up picking up a few pounds of bacon every time we visit the Fairhope restaurant. It is the best bacon we have ever cooked with.

    Head to Bill E's to enjoy an evening of live music, lively conversation, and fun in a no frills restaurant locals and vacationers will love.

    This is one of our favorite Fairhope Restaurants!
