I experienced this maple bacon creme brulee earlier today, courtesy of the Torched Goodness food truck in Phoenix.
I’ve eaten bacon in a lot of different ways over the last 5+ years (which I realize is stating the obvious), so it’s fairly significant for me to say that this was quite possibly the best bacon-enhanced dish I’ve ever consumed (or, in this case, inhaled). The combination of the freshly torched caramelized maple bacon and sugar mixed with the incredibly refreshing creme was simply out of this world. I thought about saving the aluminum vessel just to have a souvenir to remember the moment.
