Bacon Ratings: Bit by Bit (Pun intended)

Alright Ladies and gentlemen!

Now, here we are with the fourth post regarding anything and everything for the topic of bacon. We've firmly established our behemoth-sized love for the greasy goodness, but one topic we have yet to discuss is the quality of bacon. Bacon is most often overlooked as a simple cut of pork underbelly that really has no importance whether if it's quality bacon or not, but that's a terrible outlook to have! Depending on the bacon you have it can completely range from a simple breakfast item to a savory culinary choice, yet most of us are faced with the common problem whenever entering a super market:

WHAT BRAND DO I BUY?

I mean come on now, every single one of you readers completely relate to this question. You're approaching those glorious double doors to a haven of foods ripe for the picking and choosing, yet when you've come to the biggest decision of bacon, you blank on the brand....there are so many....Farmer John? Trader Joe's brand? Ralph's? Niman Ranch?

So many choices, so much bacon....mmmmm.....bacon....


Now you don't have to panic anymore! All of your culinary conundrums have been answered and the glorious gods of bacon have bestowed upon you THIS list of the top brands of bacon all depending on smokiness, saltiness, fattiness, and flavor. Created by the Editors of Food and Wine magazine, this completely reliable list of the top 16 bacon brands is at your disposal but we'll knock it down to 3 for your sake.

NUMBER ONE: Vande Rose Farms Artisan Dry Cured Applewood Smoked Bacon

This brand is actually specifically mail-ordered and was loved for its meaty texture and balanced flavor. It is dry cured for six days with brown sugar, black pepper, and salt, then slow smoked for 12 hours over applewood chips. Needless to say this brand is the Michael Phelps of bacon and is completely deserving of the prestigious first place. The editors commented saying it was "very meaty, good texture, with a good flavor and pleasant saltiness".

NUMBER TWO: Trader Joe's Uncured Apple Smoked Bacon

Described as " a good balance of fat to meat with a nice chew and crispiness. A sweet touch and great maple flavor". Despite the wonderful comments, the nicest thing is that this runner up is available at any local Trader Joe's near you! Even the snobbiest of food connoisseurs have decided that this easily attainable bacon is amazing.

NUMBER THREE: D'Artagnan Uncured Applewood Smoked Bacon

Finally, this third bacon choice is available in most supermarkets and is a brand that uses only the choicest of meats in the breeding market. Food and Wine's editors loved the pleasant saltiness and mild smoke. On the downside, D'Artagnan was described to be a bit on the fatty side (but who's really losing at that point), but it was smooth and sweet, not overly salty.

Well, Now you have been informed and given options for when you next seek the right bacon. The quality matters, and making the right choice could be bridging the gap between an "amazing" breakfast experience and the "ultimate" breakfast experience.

Bacon Recipes Revealed!

We all know bacon makes an amazing side to any breakfast, but do you ever long for a more unconventional bacon-themed dish? If your a normal red-blooded American than your answer is yes. Our new Biased Bacon cook book features some creative bacon recipes, and we thought we would give you a sneak peek:  

Bohemian Bacon Tacos

"bacos"

Gather a glorious amount of bacon strips, about 10 per “baco”, and weave them together in a criss cross pattern 5 x 5. Place weaved bacon strips over makeshift aluminum foil baco molds. Bake for 12 minutes at 400 degrees, remove, and let cool. Now your baco shells are done and you can fill them with whatever your heart desires! Try a baja baco, breakfast baco, or venture out to the edge of reason and create an ultimate baco!

Baked Bacon Bowl

The bacon bowl has the same basic concept as the bacon taco. You will weave strips of bacon together in a criss cross fashion. The amount of strips you use will depend on how big you want the bowl to be. If you want appetizer sized bacon cups you can always use a cupcake pan as a mold to bake in. Again, bake woven bacon for 12 minutes at 400 degrees. The best part about a bacon bowl is that you can fill it with anything! You can make a bacon bowl sundae, salad, soup, quiche, or try our infamous bacon bowl macaroni and cheese. 

Blissful Bacon Cupcake

We will start by mixing 1 cup of sugar and ½ cup of butter together in a bowl. Then beat in two eggs and stir in two teaspoons of vanilla extract. Combine 1 ½ cups of flour, 1 ¾ teaspoons baking powder, ½ cup of milk, and mix well. Bake this mixture for 25 minutes at 350 degrees in the oven. Remove cupcakes, let cool for 10 minutes, ice with frosting, and now for the fun part… sprinkle on as many bacon bits as humanly possible!

These bacon centric dishes will impress all of your friends and family. Trying to impress a special someone? Then use these recipes to create an elegant anti-vegetarian 3 course meal that will win hearts by elating the stomach. Or just make a bacon dish for yourself to enjoy, you deserve it. 

Bon Appetit!

A BACON SHORTAGE??!!

In the last 2 weeks reports of a bacon shortage have been appearing on various tv news shows, newspapers and online news articles. Many were SERIOUSLY concerned about this due to the fact that bacon is one of the most popular breakfast sides and is notoriously known for its tastiness and down-right amazingness. The main concern was the rise in the price of bacon due to a drought limiting the food supply of pigs.

After panicking for days, wondering if I should head to Costco for a lifetime supply of supply, I did a little more research. It seems that the world might have overreacted to this bacon shortage scare and some are reporting that it is little more than that, a scare.

ABC news reports, "Economists are telling consumers to expect a slight rise in price but not the 'overblown' price increase in recent news reports. 'It seems alarmist,' said Purdue University economist Chris Hurt, in response to the prediction that pork prices would double by the end of next year." (Torrisi, abc.go.com*)

So for those of you out there that have a newly-stocked freezer full of bacon, you might want to start to cook that up and make a little more freezer room for the rest of your groceries. And remember, don't panic; bacon is here to stay!
