More bacon lollipops…and other zany things
Royal Bacon Society29 Apr 2013 | 11:08 amI don’t really know how my husband stumbled upon these delicious-looking bacon lollipops, but here they are in all their wavy glory. I’ve had this type of treat before, like the Man Bait variety. They are typically maple-flavored, because apparently people who make bacon candy have no imagination. There are two things I like about this new product from Vat19: 1) Three flavors! Of course there’s the obligatory maple, but you can also choose honey or bbq, and 2) Cool shape! Of course a bacon-filled lollipop should be wavy like a crispy strip. So, yes, by all means go to this… -
Catch A Ride on the Bacon Food Truck Trend
Bacon Today20 May 2013 | 12:03 amThe food truck trend is just as hot as the bacon trend. New food trucks are popping up everywhere, and food truck events, where many trucks gather in one location, are becoming popular in urban centers. Unlike the bacon trend, there is a downside to the food truck trend: some trucks are disappearing almost as quickly as they appear. But several well-known trucks (and some not-so-well-known) are proof that bacon and food trucks haven’t nearly jumped the shark yet. Here’s a list of the best bacon food trucks and trailers still in operation. Check back later for a “Top 10 BBQ & Pork… -

Bacon Makes It Better
18 Apr 2013 | 8:24 pmNever truer words were spoken. I mentioned in my Denny’s Baconalia post that Denny’s marketing campaign was both smart and funny. They showed us clips from the coverage they received for Baconalia 2011, and I can see where they got their inspiration. Late night comedy took hold of Baconalia, particularly the maple bacon sundae, and claimed it for their own. From Letterman to Leno to South Park, Baconalia was fodder for highly relatable laughs because of one important truth: America has been having a renewed love affair with bacon for years, and it keeps hitting new heights. For… -
Bacon and Barrels
1 Apr 2013 | 1:30 pmIf you’ve been thinking about a trip to Santa Barbara County’s wine country, now’s the time to start your planning. July 19-21, 2013 is the first annual Bacon & Barrels festival in downtown Los Olivos, in the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley, and you do not want to miss this one-of-a-kind food and wine event. There will be delicious food from local vendors, many of which I’ve patronized and can highly recommend, and wine from local vintners, some who may be new to you. I hear there’s even a brewery involved, for those of you who prefer the suds over the sips. I… -
Denny’s Baconalia is back!
10 Mar 2013 | 8:56 pmLast week Naseem and I had a crazy, whirlwind experience. We were invited by the marketing and advertising team at Denny’s (yes that Denny’s, America’s diner) to visit their headquarters is Spartanburg, South Carolina and learn about the re-launch of their Baconalia menu — coming to a Denny’s near you this week. Many of you may remember that in 2011, they first introduced this bacon-themed menu to much media attention, particularly because of their bold Maple Bacon Sundae. This taste sensation got Baconalia mentioned on Conan, Letterman, Leno, and got major… -

Bacon Empanadas
17 May 2013 | 12:01 amComfort Food. It can mean different things to different people, but when most people think of comfort food, they think of something rich and hearty. The empanada easily falls into the category of “Comfort Food,” which is probably why so many different countries and cultures have their own versions of this dish. Empanadas (and their variations) were created to be a portable, easy-to-eat, high-calorie comfort food for working class people who spent the entire day engaged in physical labor. The calzone, the pasty, the pierogi, the gyoza, and even the Hot Pocket are proof that people all… -
Bacon Weave Apple Pie
13 May 2013 | 12:00 amApple pie has always been an age-old favorite, dating back to 1390. The first-ever recorded apple pie recipe was created by the Master Cooks of King Richard II. Back then, sugar was scarce and pie crusts were not intended for eating, but just for storage. In the last 600 years, Apple Pie has had a major makeover with sweet sugars, delightful spices, and flaky crusts. Since 1390, we’ve seen traditional apple pies, French apple pies, and apple pie “a la mode” (popularized in the 1890′s by Charles Watson Townsend after a trip to New York). Apple pie may not have… -
Maple Bacon Caramels
10 May 2013 | 12:01 amEvery home baker has a recipe (or several) that they are scared of. Some people are terrified of pie crusts. Some freak out at the thought of messing with yeast packets and trying to get bread to rise. The word “soufflé” is actually French for “terror-inducing” (okay, not really), but it should be, as the thought of a soufflé strikes fear in the hearts and minds of many a home baker. It actually means to “blow up” or “puff up,” which is what the home cook does after the soufflé falls or, worse yet, never even rises… Home-made caramels… -

Dutch-Style Potato Bake
17 May 2013 | 5:40 pmI found this recipe on the companyscoming.com website. The intro states that it is a dish inspired by a similar Dutch dish in which the ingredients are mashed together and eaten with sausage. In this quicker version, the ingredients are tossed together and baked tender to produce a flavorful dish featuring bacon, sauerkraut and tart apple as the highlights. (Metric measurements were given too, which are: 1.25L potato, 500ml apple, 375ml sauerkraut, 50ml cooking oil, 10ml Dijon, 2ml salt, 1ml black pepper, 30ml green onion.)Dutch-Style Potato BakeRating: 0Created: May 17, 2013 5:40:13 PM -

Bacon lentil side dish
18 May 2013 | 2:27 amLike clockwork, as my return to Amereeka draws nigh, I begin burning through my pork reserves like an asteroid entering Earth's atmosphere. I've had some luck before uniting lentils and pork, so I figured I'd give it another go. I poked around the internet and found this recipe, and also this one, and sort of combined them.Ingredients:3 glasses green lentils, bacon, onion, garlic, carrot, celery, fennel, chard, red wine vinegarI put 3 glasses of lentil in a pot with the scraps (ie, the leafy bits) of a fennel bulb and a teeny bunch of celery* and added 1 liter or so of boiling water and two… -
Bacon soda
18 May 2013 | 2:02 amI've been meaning to post about this but I think my taste buds are struggling to suppress the memory. Awhile back I was contacted by a representative of the Rocket Fizz Soda Pop and Candy Shop, asking if I'd review their new bacon soda. Of course I said yes, with the usual provisos - no guarantee of a positive review, but you do retain veto power, so if you send me something awful, I won't post a bad review if you don't want me to. Apparently, the Rocket Fizz folks decided that even bad reviews could be good publicity, so here's the deal: this stuff is super gross.I was dubious of bacon soda… -
Easy Chorizo Hash
24 Mar 2013 | 2:06 amSometimes the simplest things are best. Slice up some baby potatoes and put in a pot with cold salted water. Light a flame under it. Meanwhile, chop up a few onions and some peppers and peel some cloves of garlic.Squeeze a few links of Mexican chorizo onto a pan and cook over medium heat, breaking it up. When it's browned, add the chopped onions and peppers, and squeeze the garlic in through a press. Add olive oil if needed - but you shouldn't need much, because chorizo is oily stuff. Your potato water should be boiling by now. Let the potatoes boil a minute or two, until they're just barely… -
Chorizo and fish?
16 Mar 2013 | 1:57 amWhoulda thunk it. I have some Mexican chorizo that I smuggled in from the States, and was cruising the internet looking for some new ideas with what to do with it. I stumbled across this recipe and decided to give it a whirl, despite finding it kind of odd. As usual, some slight modifications:*It doesn't really specify, but I'm pretty confident that the recipe was thinking of Spanish chorizo, not Mexican. Pretty different, but hey. Also, if i had Spanish chorizo right now I would just eat it plain, not cook with it. Oh man do I love Spanish chorizo.*Not having dry sherry, I used white wine… -
Prosciutto, Arugula and Parmesan
8 Mar 2013 | 10:01 amMy dear friend Daniel Leonard was in Italy in January and brought me back a souvenir:I am naturally a hoarder, but I suddenly got worried that it would spoil, so why not, today was the day. Although prosciutto is completely delicious on its own, to be totally honest, I have a preferred method of consuming it. Tear it into pieces and add it to a hefty bunch of arugula. Squeeze a lemon half over it, drizzle with some high quality olive oil, and top with parmesan shavings (Daniel brought me some of that too!) and freshly grated black pepper. Toss and eat (do it fast-ish, because the acid of the…
