  • Two Bros Sing about the Baconator Combo

    Jason Mosley
    6 Nov 2009 | 9:45 am
    It must be true that the new Applewood bacon at Wendy’s has put the Baconator over the top. These two bros posted a song they wrote about the Baconator on Youtube this past Monday. This is the third bacon hit to come out of the bacon community recently. The first was King Curtis with “Bacon is Good for Me”, followed by Big Cheese with “Gimmie Dat Bacon”. It seems that these bros are going after the singer song writer crowd with their hit “Baconator Combo”. Bacon is hot in indie music right now. I wonder how long it’s going to take for Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga to come out…

    5 Nov 2009 | 1:28 pm
    On last night’s show Sean and I reviewed Mr. Porky’s pork crackles, a snack food from England. They were amazing, basically they were a pork rind but smaller. Watch to show to see what I mean. I plan to do a full write-up on them next week. Also on the show was one of the best bacon rap videos ever. It was called “Gimie Dat Bacon” by Big Cheese. It tells the story of a young man’s love for the perfect breakfast food. Bacon LIVE 054: [Read post to play audio samples] Download the MP3 or watch us on uStream.tv!

  • Micro-Pigs Make Tiny Strips of Bacon

    Jason Mosley
    3 Nov 2009 | 4:51 pm
    I think I finally found out where Arby’s gets their tiny strips of bacon. Sean and I both thought it was because they ripped one normal strip in half, but that might not be the case. They could be stocking their stores with micro-pig bacon. Check out the video bellow to see what I am talking about. Micro-pigs are the hot new pet in England. They cost about $1,149.61 USD and celebrities are buying them up like there going out of style. They are smaller then the potbelly pigs that were a trend in the 80’s. They start out the size of a tea cup then grow to about 14 inches tall and…

  • Bacon Samurai Trailer

    Bacon Samurai Trailer from Mr. Chris Davidson on Vimeo. This video has been around since 2007 and somehow today is the first time I seen it. How dose something like that happen! The video is (sadly) a fake trailer for a Bacon Samurai animated movie. It’s set in feudal Japan where breakfast is no longer balanced. He fights off pop tats, cereal, and grape fruits. The trailer was completed in October of 2007 by Chris Davidson and Wright Rickman. That means it took me two years to finally see this video! What the heck! I wish I would have seen this sooner because a Bacon Samurai would make…

We also had a fun time looking up our last names in the Urban Dictionary. Oh and we talked about bacon too. During the show I did a review of two different types of bacon lip balm and bacon soap.

    One of the nice things about writing for the world’s best bacon news site is that people occasionally send us free stuff. Our most recent form of free stuff was a set of coupons to go try out the new Applewood Smoked Bacon Deluxe burger at Wendy’s. No complaints here; I really like Wendy’s to begin with. They have variety – you can get a burger, chili, a potato or all three. Plus, they still have the best dessert deal in all of FastFoodia – the junior Frosty. Where else can you get the perfect amount of post-meal suckable ice cream for $0.53? But, let me assure…

  • A $2.50 Burger and a Heaping Side of Bacon at the Anchor Bar

    Corey James
    23 Oct 2009 | 1:01 am
    This weekend I found myself once again at The Anchor Bar in Superior, Wisconsin. After a night of great music at Pizza Luce I was invited to lunch with the fine folks from the two bands that performed the night before: Cars & Trucks and The Evening Rig. The Anchor Bar is famous in dive bar circles and has been featured on some popular foodie shows in the past couple years. You might think I’m jumping on the bandwagon but I was born in the city of Superior so I’ve got some street cred. I opted for the plain old $2.50 burger, some greasy bar fries, and a side of bacon. The…

  • The Pancake Breakfast Shot – Bacon & Pancakes in Liquid Form

    Corey James
    21 Oct 2009 | 7:12 am
    I heard a rumor that something amazing had been created at the Anchor Bar in Superior, Wisconsin along the south shore of Lake Superior. I was up in the area so I called up the creator (my buddy MattO) and asked him to introduce me to his little invention called The Pancacke Breakfast — a shot of alcohol that tastes like a plate of syrupy pancakes with a side of bacon. Honestly, I was quite skeptical that the shot would taste anything like pancakes. The ingredients were a secret and all I knew that a tasty strip of bacon was used as garnish. The lovely ladies of the Anchor Bar, Shayla…

    In the weeks leading up to our upcoming launch event for J&D's Bacon Ranch Dip & Dressing Mix, BaconPOP bacon-flavored microwave popcorn and our newest but still top secret invention, we thought it would be fun to take a stroll down memory lane and recap the story of last year's launch event gone wrong for Baconnaise.

It started out as a simple idea - get a whole bunch of mayonnaise, fill up a ring with it, and stage a wrestling match between a giant strip of bacon vs. a giant jar of mayonnaise for condiment superiority. So we invited the guys…

    First there was Bacon Salt. Then there was Baconnaise. Along the way, we even made Bacon Lip Balm. We're about to take a new and very important step in the history of bacon. We invented Bacon Ranch, the product we always wanted to make but didn't know how - until now. As the great Neil Armstrong said - likely while on a fake moon set in a studio in Southern California, although that's still being confirmed - this is one small step for man, and one giant leap for your salad. We're paraphrasing here. What's that you say? Bacon and ranch has been done before? Riiight.

He warns me that it’s crazy hard to get a reservation, especially since they only have two seatings of 12 per night. Luckily, checking at 10pm on a Friday night turned up three open spots. Go economy! On the night of our reservation we meet up in the East Village and find the restaurant on an unassuming street, marked only with the trademark peach.

Once the caramel had reached its perfect molten temperature I stirred in a handful of the bacon then reserved the rest to get sprinkled on top. The caramel set beautifully. Some were cut and served as is while a select few were covered in tempered dark chocolate. All of them were devoured. from Not Without Salt Don't knock it til you try it.... -- posted by College Girl

Sen dess har jag gått omkring och predikat för övriga kollektivare om hur bra det är. Fram tills idag. Då Emma visade en liten notis i DN om att Tulip börjat återkalla bacon då det innehåller stafylokocker, som kan leda till kräkningar och diarré. Tack för den!

When you want to add flavour to a vegetarian dish, use meat I always say. It’s great as a side dish or can be eaten on its own. I’ve also made it extra creamy by using mascapone and doing away with any kind of bread or flour.  I guess that sums up why my macaroni and cheese is European?   Ingredients Emmental (125g) Mascarpone (125 g) Cheddar Singles (4 slices) Farfalle Pasta  (3 cups) Onion (1/2) Bacon (5 slices) Milk (1/2 cup) Chicken…

The picture is not the best since I took it through the store window with my cell phone. The sign on it said something about a Masonic Lodge and Vincent Price movie? So I had to investigate...The inspiration for this distinctive chair is perhaps a known Russian example, signed and dated in Cyrillic, "Ivanovic Cheshcevi to Nickolai Ivanoovic Kolemin, Chair from Masonic Lodge 1838", which sold as lot 278 at Christie's, New York, January…

    From SF Weekly, another enough already with the bacon! article. This one, however, has a pretty weak argument, in that it lists 5 things that are meant to serve as evidence that the bacon craze has gone too far, and all of them sound kind of delicious. Incidentally, they also have a piece on Top 5 Caffeinated Things that Shouldn't Be that's kind of interesting. I don't eat sunflower seeds myself, but I do love coffee cookies, bloody marys and coffee during Sunday brunch (and Sparks! don't even get me started on how much I love Sparks! and how sad I am that it's banned in multiple states and…

  • Bacon cook-off winner and enough with the bacon!

    I mentioned the Baconfest Cook-off awhile back - well, it came and went, and nobody hooked me up with a free ticket. But you can read about the winners, and the entries, in the Reader. They sound pretty tasty - nothing too wild, aside from maybe the vanilla bacon ice cream. Meanwhile David Tamarkin at Time Out Chicago says enough with the bacon already people! And look - he's got a point. I am (obviously) a person who likes bacon. I enjoy cooking with it, and particularly exploring its versatility and the unexpected joy it can add to other things. I started this blog mostly to post bacon…

    First off, I received an email from Michael, author of The Daily Bacon, asking if I could post a link to his blog. So here it is, The Daily Bacon. Bacon recipes, info on bacon sales at grocery chains in Michigan, and lots of Twitter updates. Secondly, I never really know if this kind of thing is worth posting about*, but I ate some tasty bacon food last night. My boyfriend and I went to Elate, the new restaurant at Chicago's Hotel Felix. We were a bit agog at the prices, but also tired and hungry and unsure what to do, so, well, we stayed and ordered some food. This is why the good lord made…

  • Bacon Meets Bitter

    Margo Stern
    23 Oct 2009 | 11:16 am
    Brussels Sprouts. Lima Beans. Kale. They’re fodder for sit-com dinnertimes, for feeding under the table to the family dog, for initiating conversations about starving children around the world. They’re bad veggie clichés and we’re supposed to hate them. Someone admitting a fondness for these reviled veggies might as well admit “Tax time is my favorite time of year,” or  “I understand where meter maids are coming from.” \n\n\n But we believe that these bitter greens can be redeemed. We believe that a long history of overcooking and underseasoning has…

  • The Bacon Press - A Pressing Issue

    Margo Stern
    19 Oct 2009 | 3:11 pm
    There’s a burgeoning trend of revile and distaste for something common in every kitchen. The one tool you have in your drawer that is only meant for one thing. The monotool. Something, anything in your kitchen that is perfectly designed for one expressed purpose, and can’t really be used for anything else. From the apple corer to herb scissors, they might do their job well, but most of the time they just take up space. One such example is the Bacon Press. Usually fashioned out of cast iron and featuring a Suicide Food-worthy image of a pig, the bacon press is used to keep your bacon…

  • Cooking Bacon on a Hotel Room Iron - Really!

    Bac’n is currently run from a wonderful office space in downtown Portland called PIE. It’s in a great open space with lots of room for the geeky and bacon loving types. So when DjangoCon came to Portland last week, hosting the code sprints was an obvious decision for our Django-loving creator Michael Richardson (don’t forget that bacn.com is written in django). We had plenty of bacon on site, and so therefor offered it up for our visiting coders. When a few of them took us up on the offer, none of us were sure what they’d do in their hotel rooms with packages of bacon…

It’s to raise money for CHAP (the Children’s Healing Art Project.)

    The Detroit episode of “Man V. Food” aired this past Wednesday.  I just got around to watching it on the old DVR last night and I got to say, it was a decent showing. They started with American and Lafayette Coney.  I guess that is appropriate as both really are mainstays and essential tourist destinations.  When you really think about it, they are pretty much the only true food “destination” in the city.  Sure there are great bars and some terrific restaurants, but if you want a unique Detroit experience oddly enough you take them for coneys.

    Posted at blogs.babble.com Michelle Obama took her daughters to a Miley Cyrus concert at the Verizon Center last night, putting both election results and weekday bedtimes second to Sasha and Malias desire to Party in the U.S.A. with their peers. While Miley Cyrus has been voted worst celebrity influence (and her little sister is well on her way to following in her footsteps, if her Halloween costume is any indication), she is, after all, adored by tweens everywhere, and Sasha and Malia are at the perfect age to be wooed by her act. Besides, the only preteen girls who are in serious danger of…

In a MySpace blog post this week entitled “WE ARE NOT BREAKING UP,” the power-pop trio quelled the worst fears of its fans, which stemmed from a news report that its youngest member was branching out with a side project. “We are so proud of our brother Nick,” wrote Joe and Kevin Jonas. “We know that we will be doing music together for the rest of our lives…’A three chord strand is not…

    Posted at startribune.com Miley Cyrus showed off a little leather and lace during her show Thursday evening at Target Center. Miley Cyrus’ stretch toward maturity didn’t quite stretch far enough. Many of her concert antics were awkward and derivative of bigger, racier groups. Say hello to the new I-want-to-grow-up-fast Miley. Little girls who have worshipped this Disney supernova be damned. (Sorry, but that word seems to fit her new vibe.) Miley, who turns 17 on Nov. 23, wants to rock you with long-hair shaking, noisy guitars and short shorts. Problem is, Miley can’t rock a…
