Bacon Curemasters Al and Darell Benton

June 6th Upcoming Event at Heritage Foods, Join Us!

Join us for an epic day of bacon happening in Brooklyn on June 6th! Meet the Kings of Smoke, Al and Darrell Benton and feast on BLTs, country ham, oysters, and more! Al and Darell Benton cures his meat in a tiny smokehouse in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. Established in 1947 in the town of Madisonville, and taken over by Al in 1973, the Benton operation is widely regarded as an American treasure producing the most delicious cured products in the nation. “Don’t call me Mr. Benton,” he chides, “I’m Al.” His smile is half Robert Redford and half Jimmy Carter, equal parts star power and earnest American.
