There is a restaurant in Anaheim Hills called Slater's 50/50 that (among other things) appears to be a bacon gastronomist's delight.

Their signature 50/50 burger patty (which you can get served a gazillion different ways) is 50% ground beef and 50% ground bacon - and you can get your patty up to 1 lb. AFTER cooking. You can also have baconnaise sauce and extra slices of bacon added. Pair it with a Bacon Shake and then have a Bacon Brownie for dessert.

They have a cardiac unit around the side of the restaurant...

After seeing this post, I thought this would be a fun place to try for my birthday lunch with my parents. It's sort of half way between us which was a bonus.

My husband and I each ordered a burger - cut in half - and we shared. We ordered a 50 50 burger - their signature burger which was spicy and delicious. We also got a custom burger that was all beef and had bacon, pinapple, teryaki, lettuce and swiss. My husband liked that one better and I liked the 50 50 better.

All together we ordered a 5 combo appetizer and tried them all. The artichokes were really delish and went well with the sage mayo dipping sauce. Pickles interesting - but I'm not a huge dill pickle fan. Sweet potato fries were good and what I'd read online was to dip them in the pumpkin sauce. I love pumpkin but just couldn't get behind a savory version of it.

My husband enjoyed a beer - he was disappointed he wasn't able to get the Panagea beer from dogfishhead that he'd seen on their website but wasn't in stock when he ordered it. Oddly enough they poured him a different beer and tried to take the bottle. When he asked to read the bottle (he's a beer brewer and bottles have some fun/interesting info) and noticed it wasn't what he'd ordered, they confessed to not having Panagea. He still enjoyed the beer they had subbed it with however so there was no love lost.

Right as we were leaving the turned the volume way up on one of the games playing and that bothered me a bit - but we were wrapping it up so it didn't really matter.

Hmmm. They say he won't give away his secret, but I'm thinking a combo of food coloring and vinegar, the latter of which will cook off in most cases.

Um, yeah... no thanks

That would make for a horrible rainbow in the toilet...

Psst...the correct term is Bacon American.
