Grammy winner Chris Stapleton, nominated for six CMA Awards, including entertainer of the Year with the honors being televised in early November, agrees Bacon Chris Stapleton looks delicious! He posed with a meaty sculpture of himself this past weekend where he headlined the LouFest in St. Louis. The creation was the work of bacon artist Nancy Baker, who worked on it for about two weeks ahead of the fest. A contest was held to determine how many strips it took and the winner earned a year’s worth of bacon. No word if guards were needed to keep folks from taking a bite or doing a scratch and sniff.
