Most of your average breakfast restaurants will unfortunately serve average bacon, but every once in a while a seemingly average restaurant will pull out all the stops and deliver....The Best Bacon I Ever Had!
On a trip to Northern California in January of 2012 to visit my cousin I was beyond pleasantly surprised when I went to a small restaurant called Grounds in the town of Murphy's for breakfast and was served the most delicious bacon I have ever eaten. I casually ordered my French Toast with a side of bacon (I like mine on the "well done" side) and waited for my food. When it arrived I immediately noticed that the bacon was thicker than a normal slice and looked very evenly cooked. Once I took a bite I was overcome with the joy of finding The Best Bacon I Ever Had.
The bacon was crispy and crunchy, but still had a softness to it that made it easy to devour. There were no fatty spots on the bacon that were less palatable and it was just sliced to the perfect thickness. When the waitress came back to check on us I asked her how they cooked their bacon and she said that they bake it in the oven to that the bacon retains its shaped in the cooking process and each strip is cooked perfectly even. I was so delighted by the yummy strips of bacon that I ordered another side of it so I enjoy it even more.
So far, I have yet to find a side of bacon to top the ones at Grounds. They perfected their bacon in a way that cannot be matched in my opinion.
Unfortunately my cousin has since moved away from Murphy's but when I went to visit her again in July I convinced her to take me back to Grounds so I could taste the perfection once again. It was still just as amazing and I'm currently plannin my next trip to visit my cousin and hopefully to stop in at Grounds again. Until then, I will continue dreaming of....The Best Bacon I Ever Had!
