Bacon: No Longer the Other Meat

Bacon as the new super food.

Bacon is not like any other meat. It is a different sort of meat; it is a meat of underestimated and misunderstood proportions.

I do not view bacon as a product of pork. I view bacon as an animal by itself.

Take a second to think: What do you use bacon for? Most of you will say "Oh, hey, I eat bacon for breakfast..." well, stop. Bacon is no longer a breakfast food. Bacon is now a way of life.

Use bacon for your own good. Get funky with it. I want you all to do me a favor. Use bacon tomorrow, not as a side dish, not as a garnish - make bacon a meal.

The other day I went to my friend's house. I cooked sautéed peppers and onions with chicken and steak. The catch? It was bacon-battered fried chicken with deep-fried steak wrapped in bacon.
