Whose idea was it to commercialize/productize bacon grease? Better N Bacon LLC (BNB) is the company behind Bacon Up® Bacon Grease. BNB is a family-founded, family-funded entrepreneurial venture started and managed by five siblings who grew up in Owensboro, Kentucky. For decades now, the siblings and their extended families have been frying turkeys at their Thanksgiving gatherings. A few years back they used bacon grease instead of peanut oil and LOVED it. The light bulb went off and the brainstorming began on how they could package and market authentic, ready-to-use bacon grease for the masses – and what eventually became “Bacon Up” was born.
