    Is this acceptable bacon?

    I ate as much burn as possible. when I moved on to the properly cooked bacon, it tasted like old dirty grease. WTF?

    If that burnt bacon was cooked on a smoker or grill, then yum... If in a skillet, someone fucked up.

    The next step up is middling or as it's called in some places, streakalean.

    For $15 + $5 tip, I just ate what I could and moved on. Was on my list of places to try. Tried. Won't be going back. It actually gets worse.


    I'm gonna go with a dirty grill and shitty cook.

    My waitress must of been the cook's girlfriend 'cause she was shitty too. Not even the in your face shitty where you know what you're in for but the I'm almost personable but just enough to muster through. No follow up other than to leave the check and never refilled my coffee or water. Didn't even check. I'm an asshole but I wasn't today. :geek:
     
    The bacon I had the other day at the sports bar at the JW Marriott in Indianapolis was some of the best bacon I have had in a long time... I wish I knew their vendor. I just checked the menu online to see if it was something special, but its not.
     
    I find very few restaurants have good bacon and their sausage is always killed with sage:sick: I usually go with ham but last weekend I got fucking sliced lunch meat. I was pissed.
    Wrights is right on, you can usually find it at wal-mart
    Kirkland's brand is pretty good.
     
    I’ll take a burnt chuck of pork belly over the normal powder bacon that I get in most diners. Who wants to choke on bacon dust? If I can’t bend it or cut it with a fork without it shattering like a car windshield, then I don’t eat it. Bacon should not hurt when you eat it, it should hurt many years later when they rotorooter your heart.

    That should have never made it to the plate. A properly seasoned and evenly heated cast iron skillet or griddle in the hands of a man/woman who actually cares about bacon would never allowed that to happen.

    May god have mercy on your soul.

    I'm going to suggest this method of bacon prep. Eatery place had this on a burger and it was awesome.

    Get some Irish Creme or bourbon of your choice. Brown sugar is the next part. How ever you want to at this it's up to you. Layer some aluminum foil on a baking pan, sprinkle the baking pan with a thin layer of brown sugar, coat the bacon with the creme/bourbon, lay the bacon in the pan, top the bacon with another shake of brown sugar. Bake on medium heat till the bacon in cooked to your liking.

    I'm not responsible for how much bacon you eat.
     
    I may have missed the memo, but (to me) it just seems that the general premise on anything even remotely considered food is "add sugar" and do such in eleventy different ways, so that it is attractiver'er to the populous.

    Are ya'll really that hard-up for "sweet" that everything needs to be sugared up?

    Maybe I'm the odd-man-out, but food should taste like what it is/what it's made of, and desserts are what is supposed to be sweet.

    Call me cantankerous, I don't care. Back to your regularly scheduled programming.

    Exactly. See the "BBQ Sauce on Steak?" thread for further reference.

    Hempler's bacon ends are better than that, Walmart for like $5 for 3lbs. too (no way to make beans or cabbage soup without that, fuck ham hocks, can't get decent ones anymore anyway).
    You want me to send you a box of damn good jowl. Should be able to get ham hocks also. That little store has got most parts of most animals. Look up felts hams in va. One if the few old school dry chute smokehouse left. Got some real ham steaks, not that thin crack the fast food places put on biscuits, with the Christmas ham. Fry them up. Add some water for the red eye gravy and you got good eatn.
