Dispatches from the Bacon Nation
Baaah-con
Earlier this evening I dined at Equinox Restaurant in Washington, DC with a colleague who is a regular patron there. This popular establishment located just down the street from the White House is known for its top notch mid-Atlantic cuisine. We had a delightful 6 (ok, really 8) course […]
‘Meat up’ those vegetables, people!
Meat is quickly catching up to ketchup and mayonnaise as a popular condiment. “By 2015, our researchers predict bacon alone will supplant condiments as diverse as mustard and Worcestershire sauce,” (Agriculture Secretary Mike) Johanns said. “Crumbled ‘bacon bits’ are a classic addition to salads, and in recent years, slabs […]
Mozzarella BLT
I stumbled across the following recipe for “Bart’s Ultimate BLT” in Sunset Magazine this month, and we decided to give it a shot yesterday for lunch. The addition of mozzarella to a BLT was different and quite good. I’ve also long been a fan of using arugula for the “L” […]
An Extra Special Baconvision: Chef Hill’s Tempura Bacon

Safeway's "Great Meat Sale"…Not So Great.
Due to a one-time experience with Safeway grocery delivery a couple years ago, I now receive e-mail advertisements from them. I usually ignore them – to the point that I don’t even realize when I’m deleting them anymore. However, today I received one that stood out from others I’ve received […]
Move Over Ambien…
It really doesn’t matter how effective Rozerem is at helping me get a good night of sleep. If taking it means I get to hang out with a dry-witted beaver eating bacon, then pass the pills.
Chocolate Covered Bacon
I’ve posted on this blog before about the surprisingly amazing things that can be done with bacon for dessert (see here and here and here). However, I’m not so sure chocolate covered bacon falls into the same category. There aren’t many instances in which I would turn down bacon, but […]
