CHICAGO (WLS) -- It's the one day of the year that encourages everyone to come together to appreciate a classic breakfast food: bacon!

Saturday, August 31st is International Bacon Day, and one of Chicago's favorite donut shops is celebrating in a very special way.

Rich Labriola from Stan's Donuts joined ABC7 to tell us how they are celebrating bacon!

On average a person in the U.S. will eat 18 pounds of bacon per year.

About 65-percent of Americans say bacon should be the national food, but plenty of other countries love it too!
