Calling all bacon bosses, lettuce lovers and tomato technicians: Charleston is set to host its first BLT competition during National Farmer’s Market Week.

Capitol Market’s inaugural “Bring Home The Bacon” event will pit 8 area cooks against one another in a competition to create the best BLT, or bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich, on Aug. 13.

The overall winner of the competition will receive the coveted Golden Swine of Capitol Market award, as well as free bacon for one year from Johnnie's Fresh Meat Market.

The competition is open for the public to attend. Attendees can purchase tickets at the door for $20 cash, which includes a signature Capitol Market BLT, 12 oz. beer and commemorative Koozie. A single BLT can be purchased for $10, and a beer for $5.

The signature Capitol Market BLT is made with all local ingredients, including Kristi Ann Bakery’s bread from The Purple Onion, green tomatoes from Tug Fork Farms, bacon from Johnnie’s Fresh Meat Market, lettuce from Gritt’s Midway Greenhouse and J.Q. Dickinson Salt-Works salt from WV Marketplace.

The family-friendly event will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Live music and cornhole will be available.
