In a state where the pigs actually outnumber the people, it’s not surprising that our capital has a bacon-themed restaurant that’s an over-the-top ode to the saltiest, fattiest, and best part of the pig.

Jethro’s BBQ n’ Bacon Bacon restaurant has so much bacon on the menu that they put the word in their name twice.

You’ll find this bacon heaven at 1480 22nd Street in West Des Moines.

Michael F./Yelp Jethro’s BBQ n’ Bacon Bacon is open Monday through Thursday from 10am until 10pm, Friday from 10am until 11pm, Saturday from 8am until 11pm and Sunday from 8am until 9pm.

The interior of the restaurant looks pretty normal; like a nice sports bar maybe. There are so many TVs….

Michael F./Yelp The art is a little different from what you might find in most restaurants, though. An ode to meat, if you will.

This is a BBQ joint, as well.

Christine L./Yelp The sauce choices are vast.
