Like many Americans, macaroni and cheese has been a favorite food of mine since I was a kid. And even though my mom often made it from scratch, I’m not ashamed to admit that Kraft Mac & Cheese from the box was and still is one of my favorites (especially […]
Dispatches from the Bacon Nation
My Cork and Knife Interview
I recently did an interview with Chip over at Cork and Knife about Bacon Unwrapped. We talked about how this blog got started, memorable ways in which I’ve encountered bacon, and my favorite ways to cook bacon. Here’s the link to the interview.
Peninsula Grill
I took a quick trip to Charleston last week for work and had an opportunity to dine at the Peninsula Grill with some colleagues. The restaurant is located in the beautiful Planters Inn in downtown Charleston, a hotel that I’ve actually stayed in before. But this was my first time […]
Bacon Nation Unwrapped: Praline bacon, BLT pasta, bacon-flavored salt, and…whale bacon
I’m starting a new regular feature here on Bacon Unwrapped in which I will summarize some of the things the Bacon Nation is talking about in the blogosphere. John at Walkin in New Orleans blogs about a diner called Elizabeth’s that serves a praline bacon that is so good, it’s […]
Burger Democracy
Wendy’s is doing a small part to redeem themselves for removing the Big Bacon Classic from their menu by conducting a “Build Wendy’s New Burger” contest on their website. You can vote for one of 10 finalists from around the country who submitted a list of ingredients for what they […]
Bacon Wrapped Shrimp at Richardson’s
Richardson’s has long been one of my favorite restaurants in Phoenix. Their New Mexican style of cooking is a unique approach to southwestern cuisine. Naturally, one of my favorite items on their menu is the bacon wrapped shrimp. Phoenix Metropolitan magazine recently featured the recipe for this dish, stating that […]
Bacon Lovers Against Calling Annoying Email Bacn
I can’t just sit around and not do anything about this anymore. Bacon is delicious. Auto-generated email is annoying. The two have nothing to do with each other. Stop the “bacn” madness. Sign the petition to stop the use of the term “bacn”!
Bacon blasphemy
There is a movement going on in Twitter-land that I’m so thoroughly outraged about that I hesitate to even acknowledge the travesty here on Bacon Unwrapped. But I can’t be quiet about it anymore. Instead of writing about it myself, I’ll direct you to Mr. Bacon Pants who posted something […]
Bacon in a glass
Pinot Noir wines often have a bold, smoky flavor that complements bacon quite nicely. Earlier this evening, I had a glass of Pinot Noir at Vidalia in Washington, DC that is probably the most bacon-y Pinot I’ve ever tasted. The 2005 Hunterdon Pinot Noir, Santa Lucia Highlands has a distinctly […]
Bobby Van's Bacon
When most people think of Bobby Van’s, they think of steak. But until recently, I’d never noticed how many bacon items they have on their menu. For lunch your bacon options include Harry’s Salad, Spinach Salad, Cobb Salad, bacon on your hamburger, BLT, Crab BLT, Rigatoni Carbonara, and even Eggs […]
