During the Pirates first homestand of the 2015 season, the team hinted over the course of several days on its official Instagram account that a new pierogy would be joining the Great Pierogy Race. After being interviewed by the Pirate Parrot and later ordered to race around PNC Park, the pierogy was introduced as Bacon Burt. In addition to his orange cap, Bacon Burt has a moustache. Bacon Burt would win in his debut race April 19, 2015, coincidentally while the Pirates were hosting the Brewers, taking Potato Pete's spot.
