Bacon + ice cream cone = Ba-Cone

Updated October 14, 2020 - 11:25 am

Slater’s 50/50 has always catered to a crowd that thinks everything goes better with bacon — from its burger patties made from a 50/50 blend of beef and bacon to the Pork-A-Palooza bacon flight. Now, in honor of National Dessert Day on Wednesday, the restaurant is rolling out a bacon ice cream.

Beginning Wednesday, Slater’s will offer bacon-infused ice cream three ways. You can order it as a sundae, topped with candied bacon. It’s also available over a warm bacon brownie, drizzled in caramel sauce and sprinkled with candied bacon crumbles. Or try it in a waffle cone, also with crumbles.

To celebrate the release, Slater’s is kicking it up one more notch for a limited time. From Wednesday through Sunday, you can get it in a cone made entirely of bacon. And yes, you can call it a Ba-Cone!

Slater’s 50/50 has locations in five states, including one at 467 E. Silverado Ranch Blvd.
