A popular San Francisco restaurant called Bacon Bacon must shut its doors Friday after failed negotiations with neighbors who complained about the smell of bacon.
The restaurant serves burgers, grilled cheeses, breakfast sandwiches, and more, all served with bacon. It also runs a food truck, which roams the city providing San Franciscans with bacon.
But now that’s over, the San Francisco Examiner reports:
But now a popular pork-focused restaurant in the Upper Haight must close its doors Friday following months of failed negotiations with neighbors over neighborhood concerns about porcine aroma and grease disposal.
Department of Public Health officials say the owners of Bacon Bacon, located at 205A Frederick Street, have had months since opening the space to address these and other concerns. But following their failure to do so, the restaurant must shut its doors.
The announcement has created a swell of online support for the cafe, including an online petition on the Bacon Bacon website with more than 1,600 signatures from Bay Area residents who support the operation. Owner Jim Angelus said he’s overwhelmed by the support.
“It’s frustrating,” Angelus told the Examiner. “Two weeks ago, the health department showed up saying we had no permits. So we had a hearing and one person showed up saying they were opposed. They told us we had long enough to resolve these issues — and as a result, we have to cease operations May 17.”

There is something seriously wrong with anyone who does not like the smell of bacon.
The smell must have reminded them of the burning pork from anal friction.
Earth is the only planet with bacon. We should all be thankful of that!
Has any bathhouse been forced to close because of unpleasant odors?
I guess the sweet smell of bacon masks the smell of urine that SF residents would rather have.
There is and has been something seriously wrong in San Francisco.....
Because it is tempting too many vegans.
No permits???? What the heck. Are they that stupid??? Apparently so.
There must be some Muzzies down wind.
I love it!
Their first mistake was opening in San Francisco.
Someone should complain about fish market odors.
Probably CAIR threatening yet another lawsuit.
I lived in that neighborhood for 15 years and the overwhelming odor was a mixture of Body Odor and Pot. I guess bacon was just too much competition.
But- wasn't he the Patron of the City??
