A friend in the food research business says that a couple of companies are working on bacon and egg breakfast bars

Kevy Baby 08-01-2007 05:46 PM

I made bacon, potatoes and eggs for breakfast last Sunday.

Fry up a pound or so of bacon. Leave the grease in the pan, and use it cook up the taters (I use Ore Ida Country Style) adding garlic and Spike (or Greek Seasoning). Scramble and cook eggs to coincide with completion of eggs.

GusGus 08-02-2007 11:10 PM

GusGus 08-02-2007 11:12 PM

on a different note, I love bacon sandwiches.

Or as I like to call it - a "B"

alphabassettgrrl 08-03-2007 11:11 AM

Last night's Quiznos sandwich had bacon on it. Yummy!

blueerica 08-03-2007 09:17 PM

I finally remembered the guy who gave me (and thus, you) "Bacon is meat candy."

Someone else may have, and likely did, give it to him, but it was the taped up sign behind him that spawned this thread, oh so many months ago.

I've been trying to figure it out for months, then I saw him on ESPN, and it was an epiphany, as though light shone from the skies above, onto my elliptical machine at the gym, with trumpets blaring and the voice of Alan Rickman (if there's a "god" then he's the voice of it, I'm fairly certain) came down and said "Yeah, him." Okay, maybe not that elaborate, but that's how I'd write it for the script of my soon-to-be TV movie.

So yeah...

Now amended with a better site.

Wait wait, even better... he's horny (to the point of possible harassment) aaaand likes bacon. Go figure.

RStar 08-03-2007 09:56 PM

I don't like him; he doesn't know how to use punctuation or capitalization.;)

GusGus 08-03-2007 11:57 PM

Nice Dogma reference, Erica!:cool:

blueerica 08-04-2007 09:56 AM

Haha, I totally missed my own reference!!!

I forgot he was in that... as the voice of god no less. But... you have to admit, before ever seeing or, or for those who haven't seen it, he pretty much has the voice of god, drizzled with bacon.

Morrigoon 08-04-2007 11:54 AM

Great, now I can't get the image of a genital-less Alan Rickman out of my head. Thanks.

Actually, I think you should process the Bananas, Bacon and Peanut Butter in a quisinart until it's a smooth paste-like sandwich spread.

Kraft could manufacture it, and call it BanaNutAconMite :snap: :cheers: :D

Take a generous scoop of Lashbears BanaNutAconMite into the blender and add half a bottle of Dom Perignon, then blend till frothy. Serve in martini-glasses - this incorporates the fourth food group, Alcohol. :cheers:

Your brain will thank you, but your friends won't.

LashStoat 09-14-2007 09:12 PM

Addendum:

Whilst scientists were quick to disenfrachise the planet Pluto that we all grew up with, they were slow (really slow) to recognise Alcohol as the fourth food group. What a pack of kill-joys. They are only just now beginning to realise that "Pluto" was actually supposed to be called "Pub" - which of course explains the term "He's off the planet".

And for God's sake, it's Pluto Pub, not Pluto Pup*.

As always,

Scientific Breakthrough

The AmoGlycoPsuedoEfoTyalomine Drug Company has produced the World's first BanaNutAconMite tablet.

Whilst proud of their synthesis of the core quasi-food supplimentary additive "BanaNutAconMite-tartrate", the Marketing Spokesperson of AmoGlycoPsuedoEfoTyalomine was slightly taken aback when Susie-Anne Krellingshaw of Arkansas, aged 11, announced "My Dad said 'tartrate my ass - heart rate is more like it'".

Company Officials have declined to comment on claims that the BanaNutAconMite tablet increases one's blood pressure and cholesterol to near off-the-scale readings, however the Marketing Spokesperson has reiterated the value of the drug to the "Othi-epian*" [sic] people as "an alternative to eating desert dust".

*The AmoGlycoPsuedoEfoTyalomine Spokesperson has since learnt that Ethiopia is an African state, and that cholesterol isn't a type of furniture polish.


But it's all about the Bacon. :blush:

Origins of Whale Bacon
 
Ok..Ok..

The Origins Of Whale Bacon.

A composition written by Susie-Anne Krellingshaw from Arkansas, aged 11. :rolleyes:

The Japanese people that lived there wanted to eat something. The moms* were little people because they were small. The daddies were little too, but they got into boats to get fish and things in shells. The ocean got rough sometimes, and the daddies vomitted overboard. But not always. To add verisimilitude to this otherwise bald and uninteresting narrative, the daddies would catch a whale for scientific porpoises** and make it into a size that the moms* could carry home. This was very thoughtful, because the people could sign the Kyoto Protocol on account of the fact that whale bacon doesn't emit greenhouse gases. Much, except a bit if it's left out of the takofumibushi for more than a kirotakiochi. Then it stinks.

I once had a goldfish named "Whale". Mr Goldbloom (our neighbour) leaned over the fence and asked me why I was crying. I told him that "Whale" had died, and that I was burying him. He asked me why the grave I had dug was so big. Well, I answered, "It's because your f**king cat ate him".

Susie-Anne Krellingshaw.

Morrigoon 09-21-2007 10:19 AM

Yesterday's Wide Lawns blog post is about Bacon Salt.

Quote:

Bacon is good. Salt is good. Together they are really good. The salt acts as a vehicle to spread the joy that is bacon, to places where, in its long, greasy, gristly strip form, bacon could never travel. Now you can sprinkle bacon taste on everything without splattering the inside of your microwave with pig fat or smoking up your kitchen. I said, I have got to get me some of this bacon salt, but I was at my friend's house and all he had was one container of it that he wan't about to give up.

I was there at the beginning of the summer and they had them then. They have the wildest doughnuts in there. It was lots of fun to look at all the varieties. Of course Gary won't go in there with me, he likes a normal doughnut, but while he's working I wander downtown. There is a great place to get beignets too, down by his office.

The only thing I had to do with this was noticing the spam posting (and reporting it). Somebody was able to sneak in a registration and make a post with a link to their gambling site. My mistake was quoting the post (since deleted) in my reply.

Due to misunderstandings in the distant past, I am wary of board pranks.

I've never had reason to try it, but I've always wondered about embedded images. Images are linked in from external servers (ie. photobucket). So when you view a message with an image does the vBulletin software go and get it, or does it just redirect your PC to it? If it's the latter (which would be my guess) then as soon as you view any message with an image your IP address hits the site hosting the image where it can be tracked as a hit. I would assume that the spam message included an image as part of the post.

Yes

Except for the "dot-1.gif" you snuck in. I cannot say whether the original offender did something similar.

It's a fair cop.

Right then, In bacon related news. My local grocery store just stated caryying all natural nitrate free bacon. It's good and I feel like I can eat twice as much....

Bacon-y thoughts for an afternoon:

1. I'm glad my Cobb salad came with real bacon. Plus, the bleu cheese dressing wasn't half bad, even if it tasted like a bleu cheese/cheddar dressing.

2. My house will never have Bacos. I will always have real bacon, or nothing at all. No substitutions. I grew up in an imitation bacon house and I vow, "Never again!"

3. What does bacon not go with? Seriously, I'm having a hard time with this one. It goes with food items in every major category, so I tried to break it down while eating the Cobb salad. I figure that maybe it might not go with cottage cheese, but I think that probably tastes good with bacon. I'm racking my brain for more foods that it might not go well with, but I'm coming up with blanks. It might not taste good with... Oh, maybe I should give up.

4. Bacon is gud.

3: black licorice? strawberries?
4: yes...yes it is.

blueerica 10-25-2007 01:05 PM

See, i thought about that, and I bet bacon is amazing with strawberries. I can imagine a salad topped with strawberries and bacon, easily.

Black licorice... maybe that might not be good, but I'm willing to try it.

It would seem that the only thing I could come up with is sweets. But even some I could think of might not be too bad. I started to put apple fritters, but then apple and bacon go well.

Ive had it. the guy making them called them 'bacon jerkoff' (dunno. he was a bit of an odd bird)

I made a breakfast bananas fosters and added bacon. It was one of the best things I've ever created for breakfast. Everyone in my house loved it!

There is a chocolatier that makes a bacon chocolate... I'm certain € posted that somewhere in this thread...

See, I think bacon would taste good on vanilla ice cream. Then again, I'm somewhat lactose intolerant and ice cream is the thing that does it every time.

Twinkies - you might have me there.

Berries - are you kidding me? I think it would taste fantastic with berries! While I've never eaten them specifically to be together, nothing, in my mind, is better than a breakfast with bacon, eggs and some form of fruit.

I guess I'm in the frame of mind that nothing goes better with bacon than sweets. I'm not as big of a sweets fan, so perhaps that's why adding such a savory is so appealing to me...

The choco-bacon, on the other hand, was very nize.

I would think that bacon and mint could coexist peacefully, but the bacon flavored mints were eccch.

Having just recently come back from the state of Jalisco, I never saw anything like this, but at every mercado, I was able to buy pretty decent baguettes, fresh baked every single day! The butter was very good, too!

So, it arrived and I tasted it, it's not bacon, it's not horrible, but I would have to be crossing the Sahara with no hope of bacon to satisfy a craving to shake some in my hand and lick it off. That said, I'm game, I roasted some new potatoes in the oven with olive oil, pepper and bacon salt. Still not bacony, but my arteries are thanking me for not using some of the skippy jar filled with bacon rendered fat. Not bacon, it does give the spuds a yummy, slightly hickory flavor. All in all, and interesting experiment, but there truly is, nothing on earth like the real, time-tested, taste-tested appeal of honest to goodness bacon.

A few weeks ago my coworkers and I declared a "Bacon Day". Put up bacon signs, and brought in food that had bacon in it. Even cupcakes (topped with bacon bits).

Here my bacon inspired toon:

Nice one, Josh... but your cartoon raises the question (as asked by The Cramps): "What's behind the mask?"

Not Afraid 12-10-2007 11:57 AM

MP, that's not the Cramps question that immediately jumped to mind. Instead it was "what color panties are you wearing and how long have you been wearing them?"

I found some amazing, actually for really, low carb bread at one of my stores the other day. It's like 14 grams of carb, with 13 being fiber. And guess what? No crazy gastro side effects! So, I bought a head of iceberg lettuce. I bought a tomato. I didn't buy bacon 'cause I already owned some. And I'm going to take two, maybe three, slices of this magic bread, toast it up, slather it with mayo, and make me a BLT! For bonus points, It will be on raisin toast. I made Freedom French toast with it the other day and it was brilliant. I've got to remember to buy sausage.

This bread, by the way, is from Julian Bakers. It comes in a 1 gm carb per slice whole grain brick of bread, and a 3 gm carb per slice raisin. And it's really good. You know I've tried every low carb product out there, and this truly passes the test.

As weird as that sounds, as I think about it, it could be pretty good. Bacon is sweet, salty, and fatty. This goes well with chocolate. The smokey flavor is an interesting edition.

Alex 01-22-2008 10:37 AM

I've stayed out of this thread because it has been more than 15 years since I last tasted real bacon (turkey bacon a couple times but that isn't worthy).

But this morning I was walking through the construction site between my apartment and the BART station. Suddenly there was this horrible odor and I couldn't figure out what it was.

Finally I realized it was coming from the roach coach that services the construction workers and after a few minutes of walking through it my brain finally pulled the odor from the dim recesses of memory and I realized it was just the smell of cooking bacon all by itself (it has been a long time since I've smelled just bacon cooking without adulteration by other cooking smells).

And to think, that at one point in time I would have considered that one of the great smells in the world. I am almost tempted to start eating it again just to reclaim that.

cirquelover 01-22-2008 10:56 AM

Alex, come to the dark side- we have bacon!

Alex 01-22-2008 10:58 AM

The truth is, other than incidental consumption of very small bits (occasionally I may pick sausage chunks out of country gravy, for example) I haven't consumed anything other than birds and fish since October 1992. As of two weeks ago I've cut out the birds on a trial basis.

The thought of bacon just doesn't appeal to me any more. I was just surprised that at some point I've gone from not wanting it to actually finding the smell unappetizing.

cirquelover 01-22-2008 11:16 AM

If I ever get to the point where bacon smells bad and unappetizing, please shoot me.
If it works for you Alex, more power to you.

I personally love the little sausage chunks in my country gravy, I bet it would be even better with bacon. Hmm I may ave to try that!!

Disneyphile 01-27-2008 01:58 PM

I just read a recipe for Chicken Fried Bacon:

Roll bacon in flour, sprinkle with pepper and desired seasonings. Bake for 15 minutes at 400 degrees.

Apparently, the fat binds the flour, giving it a nice crispy breaded shell.

I'm tempted to try it. :snap:

The audit department, next to my department, took it upon themselves to cook bacon yesterday.

In the microwave,

without adequate supervision.

The STINK was horrific, and I am not motivated to eat bacon anytime soon.
That is all.

I may have to try these
 
Best of both worlds, bacon and cupcakes!

MAPLE BACON CUPCAKES

makes 6


4 1/2 tablespoons of butter, room temperature
1/2 tablespoon of bacon drippings (left in the fridge to become solid)
1 egg
5 tablespoons of brown sugar
4 tablespoons maple syrup
1 1/4 cup of self rising flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
tiny tiny pinch of kosher salt
1/4 cup of milk
1/4 cup of minced bacon, cooked and drained

Cook some bacon in a fry pan (about 6 thick strips). Reserve the drippings and place in the fridge to solidify. Mince 1/4 a cup of the bacon. The chef should eat whatever is left to assure that the bacon is tasty. Beat the crud out of the butter and solidified bacon fat 'till light and creamy. Add the brown sugar and maple syrup and beat well until combined. Add the egg and beat until incorporated. Sift the flour, salt, baking soda and powder together. Add some of the flour and mix, then some of the milk, then continue to alternate the dry and wet ingredients, ending with the dry. Mix until just combined. Fold in the bacon. Taste and add more maple syrup, flour, or milk if needed for desired taste. Keep in mind the maple frosting is very sweet, and to add in very small increments for alterations as maple syrup in large amounts can break a cake batter. Scoop into cupcake papers and bake at 350 F for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Be sure to rotate the pan after the first 15 minutes for even baking.

We loved bacon before bacon was a thing. We will continue loving bacon and inwardly smirk at the trendy bacon poseurs. And in the end, we will continue to have our bacon.

Morrigoon 02-15-2008 12:28 PM

That's true, we were bacon before bacon was cool.

Speaking of which, the Gelato Cafe guys have finally returned to this building. I just bought a "California Club" which is basically a turkey croissant sandwich with avocado and bacon (and lettuce, tomato, mayo).

Mmm.... avocado and bacon :)

blueerica 02-15-2008 12:41 PM

But do they have good gelato?

I could go on and on about good gelato, though I have yet to experience it in its place of origin.

Better yet, do they have bacon gelato?

Oh - and I forgot to post in here... I've been on a salad binge, which has included many different ingredients. One such crazy-a$$ed salad had spinach, mixed greens, simple vinaigrette, avocado, garbanzo beans (had a few to get rid of - seemed weird with the later combination, but worked out), grape tomatoes, crumbled bacon, blue cheese, grapes... of which I've decided that the last three make the most spectacular flavor combination I've had in ages.

Simply fantastic.

Snowflake 02-15-2008 01:28 PM

Ooh, bacon and blue cheese...........
<mouth watering> yum </mouth watering>

Morrigoon 02-15-2008 02:54 PM

Mmmm... got my mouth watering with that. I also like that salad that has feta cheese, candied walnuts, and dried cranberries. But there's no bacon in that.

I think it's that whole stinky cheese + sweet + other flavor thing.

blueerica 02-15-2008 04:03 PM

Sounds about right, Morri... Sadly, I am out of bacon, though I'll be having a similar concoction, minus the avocado as well, though adding some chicken I cooked up last night.

Except for the croissant, turkey, avocado, bacon, lettuce, tomato and mayo but add veal, breading, Parmesan cheese and marinara sauce.

Snowflake 02-18-2008 08:23 AM

Yesterday had some friends over for lunch (and a tarot card reading which was fun). On the menu (my new favorite condiment) chimichurri marinated chicken kabobs (awesome) and an incredible new side dish that will absolutely be in my repitoire now and forever. It is roasted stuffed peppers*

6 Red, Orange Yellow bell peppers (with stems - split and the seed pod and vein removed)
6 slices of thick bacon
variety of hot peppers (I used serrano and red jalapeno)
multi-colored cherry tomatoes
pitted calamata olives
capers
garlic
salt & pepper
parsley
basil
olive oil

Slice the peppers in half, remove the seed pod and the white rib/vein. Lay them out in a baking dish & add a dash of salt & pepper to the inside. Slice the hot peppers into rings (remove the seeds if you're wimpy). In a bowl, mix the cherry tomatoes, capers, pitted kalamata, pepper rings, chopped garlic, parsley and basil, drizzle in a bit of olive oil, mix well with your hands. Stuff the mixture in each pepper half, top with more shredded basil, then fold a bacon slice to cover the top of each pepper. Drizzle more olive oil on and around the peppers, add about 3 tables spoons of water and cover with foil. Bake in a hot oven for 15-20 minutes, then remove the foil and roast in a 425 over until browned and roasted and the bacon is cooked on top.

They were absolutely delicious! I'm sure I can and will modify this dish in the future with other goodies in it, but I will bet it's even delish without the bacon.



*Recipe was from Jaime Oliver

Kevy Baby 02-18-2008 09:21 AM

Tahe out the bell peppers, hot peppers, tomatoes, olives, capers, garlic, salt & pepper, parsley, basil, and olive oil and you've got yourself a pretty good recipe!

Tonight was make due with whatever leftovers you could find night. I think I invented the best soft taco ever!

I Started with the leftover chicken and shredded cheese on a fajita and put it in the microwav. Then I put on some lettuce, tomato, and avocado. I added some sour cream. However before you folded it and ate all that yummy goodness there one last secret ingredient I needed. I went through the fridge and found a baggie in the meat drawer from breakfast a few mornings ago. With flare, pomp, and circumstance I added the last secret ingredient.....


Wait for it.............







wait for it...............






just a little bit longer......................



BACON!!!!!

It tasted so awesome...I just had to tell you guys. I thought you'd get a kick out of it! :)

I wonder if the cup could withstand additional heat. I do figure that you could easily scramble an egg and put it in there. With cheese on top.

alphabassettgrrl 03-02-2008 03:03 PM

Yummy- egg bacon and cheese? How can it be anything but fabulous? Let me know if it works! :) I guess if you keep the heat low it might not crumble too badly.

Sounds delicious! Maybe next weekend I'll give it a try.

RStar 03-02-2008 04:51 PM

I think if you baked the cups, then scrambled some eggs (perhaps with onion and bell peppers), then put the eggs in the finished cups, top with cheese and put under the broiler untill melted it would be the best breakfast treat ever!!! :D

Our Portland morning show had a segment on eating out in PDX today. The theme was it's always better with bacon!

A place called Gilt had the BLT drink, it was tomato vodka, lemon and bacon salt around the rim.

Park kitchen had bacon fries. It was bacon strips dipped in tempura and fried along with green beans. They said they were looking for an companion for their green bean fries and thought " Everyone likes bacon"! They looked yummy.

Lastly there was Le Pigeon where they had a bacon dessert. They said they actually fry up many unusual bacons for their dishes, like duck. For dessert it was corn bread topped with maple ice cream with a bacon sauce drizzled over top. It looked unusual.

I figured I had to share with all the LoT bacon lovers!

I had to post this here, since it is about bacon and I am all about the proliferation of this thread and its bacon-y goodness....

When I was doing my quickie search on traditional Irish foods, teh Wikipedias suggested that it would be more likely to be Bacon and Cabbage in the pot, rather than corned beef, which was typically saved for royalty and the well-to-do.

The History of Corned Beef

I'd heard that too! Can't imagine boiled bacon though. I'm thinking it must have been chunks of the meat, not today's thinly sliced stuff.

I just discovered that the grilled pork sandwich from Lee's Sandwiches is actually bacon, and lots of it.

For $2.20, it's a foot-long baguette stuffed with bacon, asian pickle (cucumber, carrot, onion), cilantro, and fresh jalapeno. I'm in heaven. To see the photo of what I'm eating right now, click on Menu/Asian Sandwiches/Grilled Pork.

Officers were called to Wendy’s, 3300 S. Oneida St., at about 1 a.m. According to police reports, a man grabbed the customer’s bag of food as the employee attempted to hand it from the drive-through window. The unknown man ran eastbound.

Police followed footprints in the snow, which ended in the 300 block of E. James Street, suggesting that the thief got into a vehicle.

The Wendy’s employee received a small scratch on his forearm during the incident, though he told police it wasn’t painful.

No matter where you find them or how much you pay for them, they still taste like ass.

Dinner last night.

Applewood bacon!

Bleu cheese fries.

And yes, most of it is still in my fridge. I did drink the really yummy house brewed Umna Hefeweizen though.

How do you know what ass tastes like? ;)

The Albertons where I shop often has bacon out in the heated sampling tray. I'm not sure why, most places has other products they sell. Perhaps it's the lovely aroma that brings out the people! But I'm all over it when they have the bacon out! :D

So I was nosing around on that "geek extraordinaire" web comic GD linked, and came across one that deserves inclusion in the thread of baconey goodness:

Disneyland - French Market - Pineapple Bacon Salad dressing - YUM!

Anyone else ever try or heard of this? I just discovered it today and what a wonderful discovery it is!

We currently have bacon in the oven, coated with brown sugar and worchestershire sauce. :D

Oh, I forgot to mention, we only got through a Kilo (2.2 lbs) of Bacon between us during our camping weekend... We're slipping.

Cadaverous Pallor 04-07-2008 07:25 AM

Do they sell it by the kilo downunder? That's a serious amount of bacon.

I would hope they have a half kilo (500 grams, one pound is 454 grams) package if that's the case. Just for the single persons that is.....

cirquelover 04-07-2008 01:18 PM

I was trying to figure out what to do with some turkey cutlets I bought, when I ran across Turkey & Bacon Rolls....ding, ding, ding I think we have a winner! Who could resist turkey stuffed with ham and cheese and covered in bacon?!






I knew my fellow LoTers could appreciate it, I'll let you know how it comes out.

Turkey bacon? That is an outrage! I demand a retraction!

Actually, I have never tried it. To be fair, I hate HATE pork but bacon, sweet, sweet bacon is a swine of a different color.

wolfy999 04-07-2008 10:14 PM

TURKEY BACON...IS NOT BACON!!!!! Not really.

RStar 04-07-2008 11:38 PM

Ok, I use turkey bacon once in a while (my wife can't digest beef or pork well) and then I got to looking at the label. Sure, it's leaner. But it has more cholesterol than pork. MORE! :eek:

So, naturally I thought to myself WTF???

Then it occured to me. Turkey meat is not all that plyable, so how could it have that rubbery texture and still be turkey. And where'd all that cholesterol come from? Ding ding ding! The skin. It's turkey skin! Yum! :rolleyes:

I'll stick with good old pork. Thank you very much.....

Capt Jack 04-08-2008 08:23 AM

actually, the peppered bird bacon makes for a pretty decent BLAT (avo)

I wish the Albertsons in Bakersfield did that. It might override the smell of the fish counter.

lashbear 04-08-2008 11:49 PM

Yep! Kilo packs, Half Kilo packs and 250g packs: we got it all ! When camping, a kilo pack is a necessity.

PS: My blood test results from last fri gives my LDL (bad) cholesterol as only 3.2 so the bacon camping didn't do no harm !!!! Yay.

I had the idea for bacon-wrapped lobster. Or lobster-wrapped bacon.

Now make it 4 meez!

It looks easy to me. Oven at 450. Wrap bacon around lobster and cook.

I had bacon wrapped shrimp on my birthday.

Morrigoon 04-17-2008 05:04 PM

Ever since that little exchange about bacon-wrapped lobster (or was it lobster-wrapped bacon?) I've had rumaki on the brain.

Well, maybe not rumaki per se, but rumaki-like hors d'ouvres.

Bacon-wrapped water chestnuts, glazed with brown sugar and worcestershire sauce
Bacon-wrapped cashews (? no idea why, but it sounds good), also glazed
Bacon-wrapped lil' smokies, also glazed

Holy cow, I need some friggin' bacon now.

Chernabog 04-17-2008 05:13 PM

No more chicken, no more cow,
Feed me friggin' bacon now!

:D Sorry. Random.

Morrigoon 04-17-2008 07:56 PM

Tonight we had mac and cheese... and bacon.

Trader Joe's had this thing of applewood-smoked uncured bacon that I picked up. Cooked up 3 slices in the oven while I made mac. Mmm...

Not Afraid 04-21-2008 10:37 PM

Bacon Bits.

I got snookered into eating at a Chili's the other day (meeting Mom for lunch and avoiding a drive to Riverside). I'd never been, and I'd never had a desire to go, now I'm mentally cataloging the location of each one I see.

Let me tell you about the bacon cheeseburger.

Nearly 1/2 inch thick sliced bacon, somewhat candied like we had on New Year's Eve. Was there a burger involved? I'm sure there was, but I can't remember it well enough to describe it except to say that it came with the most amazing bacon. The waiter said it was new on the menu. He was very chatty, but not cute enough to put up with for long. My stepfather said he must have had a lot of coffee, I opined that I thought it was crack.

But the burger was good. And they did a very nice bunless version for me. Conjunctions be damned, I will return.

blueerica 04-23-2008 09:02 AM

Need to keep note. We have a lot of chains out here in Utah, and knowing where the good items are helps immensely.

Ghoulish Delight 04-23-2008 09:08 AM

I've actually been pleasantly surprised by Chilli's on several occasions. I still wouldn't choose to go there myself, but it's a far less distasteful option than, say, Olive Garden.

Hey now... don't knock the soup and salad lunch. It's about the only thing I get, but it's good at a good price. Nom, nom, nom...

If only they made their Zuppa Toscano with bacon...

Nom, nom.

Morrigoon 04-23-2008 09:20 AM

Chili's burgers are pretty nom-worthy. Even without bacon.

Some scary stuff. But not surprising. I've been counting calories for the last 3+ weeks (and actually losing weight), and when I'm craving fast food, I've been going to the Chowbaby Fast Food Calories page.

Lots of bacon options within a reasonable number...

Even a Turkey/Bacon Club at Schlotzky's is less than 600 calories.

Their ground peppercorn burger used to be good, but it seems to have lost its zing since it was introduced.

One thing I always like about chili's burgers is the buns: muy delicioso!

Oh gods!!! :eek:

Now, the recipe I've yet to try only calls for coating the bacon in flour and seasonings, then baking it, since the grease will "fry" the batter itself. It seems a bit healthier, even though it's pretty far from healthy to begin with.

Morrigoon 04-23-2008 10:22 AM

Feh. Ever seen the nutritional info on the twice-grilled burrito at El Pollo Loco? It looks reasonably healthy till you see the numbers. (Hint: it's more than the bacon burger)
