Perhaps not everything is better with bacon, after all. A San Francisco bacon restaurant—called "Bacon Bacon"—is being forced to shutter after neighbors complained that the "porcine aroma" emanating from the establishment was too overpowering, and it was illegally disposing of its bacon grease in the sewers. The complaints subsequently led to the discovery that the owner also lacked the proper health permits for the restaurant, reports NBC Bay Area. The owner says he will return to running his operation out of a food truck. (More bacon stories.)
