Had a BLT yesterday with Applewood smoked bacon, green leaf lettuce, a thick slice of an heirloom tomato and some pesto mayo on Texas Toast. Mmmmmm good.

Love is fleeting, but bacon stays in your arteries for all eternity.

I another BLT for breakfast this morning. Nothing bets a BLT whilst watching the Olympics.

Many bacon artisans use celery juice, a natural source of nitrates. Nitrates keep botulism from growing and keeo the bacon from having a gray color.

[Aberzombie]

Top ten bacon markets in the United States: New York, Los Angeles, San Antonio/Corpus Christi, Baltimore/Washington D.C., Chicago, Philadelphia, Houston, South Carolina, Dallas/Fort Worth, and Atlanta.

And, yes, I live in one of those markets.

This egg and cheese biscuit would be immensely better with a few pieces of bacon on top.

[gran rey de los bacon]

Sounds to me like it could use a lot more bacon and much less egg and cheese.

[Orthos]

I'd be good with all three really.

[BluePigeon]

I had a monster cheeseburger with bacon. Last night, at IHOP. It did not survive.

[Aberzombie]

Uncured pork belly slices are called bara in Japan.

[gran rey de los bacon]

Eating bacon right now.

[zylphryx]

Getting ready to hop in the shower, pack up gaming stuff for a day of running PFS and stopping off to grab some breakfast including some local, thick cut, hickory smoked bacon ... and probably some other stuff, but most importantly bacon and coffee.

[Orthos]

There was no bacon in the fridge nor freezer this morning. Eggs were good but something was just missing. =(

[BluePigeon]

Yea, bacon. I had a BLT minus the eggs. It was good.

[Aberzombie]

A single slice of bacon is called a rasher in Britain and Ireland.

[Aberzombie]

Bakon Vodka, made by Black Rock Spirits, is potato vodka with added bacon flavor. It's great in Bloody Marys and as a barbecue marinade.

In the US, it's called a tease.

Who can eat just one?

[Aberzombie]

Hash House a go go in San Diego, California, serves the popular Bacon Waffle. Whole strips of honey-cured and hickory-smoked bacon are baked in the waffle.

[Aberzombie]

Co Co. Sala Chocolate Lounge and Boutique in Washington, D.C., serves macaroni and cheese topped with a single slice of chocolate-covered bacon.

[Aberzombie]

Time to go cook dinner.

[Tirq]

So... How was dinner? Did it include... the b word?

[Orthos]

Mine did! Bacon-and-egg sandwiches with cheese.

[gran rey de los bacon]

I had green beans with bacon.

[Tirq]

You, sir, are a lucky duck!

[Aberzombie]

Dinner did not include the "b" word. IT WAS THE "B" WORD!! :)

Made pizza today. Or should I say "bizza", cause it was stuffed with bacon!

[ReckNBall]

Bacon is insinuating itself in glorious places.

This is how I like to make my pancakes.

You start cooking two slices of bacon, when they're about 1/2 to 2/3 done, you pour pancake batter on top of them, then cook the pancake like normal.

The pancake fries a little bit in the bacon grease and the combination of fatty, salty and sugar (the syrup) is just heavenly. I much prefer this method to pre-cooking the bacon and crumbling it into the batter, it just doesn't get the same taste.

[ReckNBall]

I do the same thing with my fried egg sammich. Carmelize the onions with the bacon,when ~1/2 done, crack a couple of eggs (Over easy/med)over it all. Fold into a sammich with mayo and spinach and thick tomato. [/drool]

At first, my daughters went eww. But now I have to make at least two sammiches if I even want a bite. BEST (Bacon, Egg, Spinach, Tomato) Sandwich.

[Orthos]

You had me until the tomato.

Last Sunday at brunch in a local restaurant, I ordered a side of bacon.

They mistakenly brought me TWO sides of bacon.

I took it as a sign from God that I need more bacon in my life.

Also, who needs mayo when there is American cheese?

It isn't an egg sandwich without American cheese.

Yes, I know calling it "cheese" is a stretch. Don't care. They're damn delicious.

[Orthos]

Something just right about the traditional eggs and bacon breakfast.

[BluePigeon]

Had bacon at Bob Evan's Restaurants yesterday. It was good.

[hargoyle]

Maybe this has been here already, but its still bacon!

It has not been here as I can recall, so we welcome you fellow bacon aficionado.

I like the way you think. I promise, when the zombiepocalypse happens, we'll eat you last.

Double dipped in batter and deep fried, chicken-fried bacon was created by Frank Sodolak in the 1990s for his Texas restaurant and won the food competition in the 2008 Texas State Fair.

[Aberzombie]

Americans eat an average of four to six slices of bacon in one sitting.

HA! I eat, on average, four to six slices of bacon before sitting.

At the fifth annual Tomato Fest in St. Louis, Missouri, Tom Coghill, owner of Iron Barley, created the world's longest BLT sandwich. It was 179 feet, 2 inches long and used 500 pounds of bacon.

[Aberzombie]

Last Thursday I turned ninety-five years old, and I never exercised a day in my life. Every morning I eat five strips of bacon, and for lunch I eat a bacon sandwich.

[Aberzombie]

Bacon's biggest fans are people between the ages of thrity-five and forty-nine years old.

[Aberzombie]

American pork belly bacon has 3 grams of fat per slice, the same as a very thin slice of cheddar cheese.

[Aberzombie]

My regrets, but no Bacon posting other than this from me today, and probably for the next two weeks or so. I'm in San Diego on business and did not bring my Bacon Calendar with me

[Houston Chamber of Gamers]

ALERT. ALERT.

There will be a bacon themed Woot-off Tuesday and Wednesday.

This has been a test of the Bacon Alert System. Had this been an actual Bacon Emergency, all your bacon are belong to us.

Thank you.

[BluePigeon]

Where did all the bacon go?
