I just returned from a trip to Beaver Creek, Colorado for a final weekend of fall colors and warm weather before winter arrives (which it did on Sunday). On Saturday afternoon, I had lunch on the patio of the Beaver Creek Chophouse at the base of the ski mountain. […]
Dispatches from the Bacon Nation
Bacon Snack Bars
There aren’t many situations in which the use of bacon is inappropriate. But the editor of Empty Bowl describes his experience with Bacon Snack Bars that are made from peanut butter, bacon and Tang. I applaud his sense of adventure, but I’m not sure I’d need to actually taste these […]
Bacon for babies
Several of my friends have either recently had a baby or are about to have a baby. Which got me thinking…I wonder if there is such a thing as bacon flavored baby food. Everyone loves bacon, so why not start ’em young? However, after some quick research on the web, […]
Bacon for survival

In-flight bacon
There’s a great post over at Bacontarian about a very important issue – lack of recognition of “Bacontarianism” as a special meal category on airlines. From Bacontarian: “This is my challenge: For the Bacontarian community to unite, and set forth to spread the good bacontarian diet to airlines around […]
