Attention all self-proclaimed bacon experts, ever thought about getting paid to eat your favourite meat product? Of course you have. Well, thanks to Extra Crispy you might actually get to live out your dream. The website, which is entirely dedicated to breakfast food (so already a winner) posted an advertisement seeking a freelance Bacon Critic to spend three months “researching, writing about, obsessing over, and critiquing bacon” for them.

All applicants must be in the US (sigh), must have “writing chops, an unmistakable voice, a sense of adventure” and a passion for eating bacon. If you think you qualify, in 600 words or less, explain your favourite bacon-related memory and email it to [email protected] by June 24.

Submit the application now and hopefully it’ll be worth the weight wait.
