I Don’t Care – I Still Want One of These

Good News: Slater’s 50/50 in California is now offering a burger made from 100% ground bacon.

Bad News: Eating one is officially considered the one pre-existing condition Obamacare doesn’t cover.

  1. I made a ground bacon burger once. Contrary to popular church of bacon belief it actually tasted nasty.

    Bacon is a great garnish. It gives wonderful flavor to pretty much everything it’s added to.

    Grinding it up and trying to eat the resultant mess is…..well, nasty.

    My favorite is wrapping Idaho potatoes in bacon before I put them in the oven. Instant bacon bits, in perfect proportion, when you slit and stuff your baked potato. It takes three to four slices of bacon per potato depending on the size of said potato.

  2. Thanks. It actually works pretty well. Just make sure you use a broiler pan so the bacon grease has somewhere to drain to. The bacon shrinks as it cooks and you wind up with a baked potato with a tight bacon skin. Makes for a nice ‘presentation’ when you serve them.

    I used to wrap my baked potatoes in aluminum foil. Now I wrap them in bacon.

    I also take a paring knife and slice a half-inch or so deep down the length of the potato several times before I wrap it.

    Just tell them its dog.

    I got your back (Unless you turn it while the bacon sammich is still there!!)!!

  4. I went into the San Diego restaurant. They have bacon flavor catsup, deep fried pickles, and the burger comes with a fried egg and bacon on it. The only thing they didn’t have was liquid bacon you can inject into your neck with a syringe.

    Yes, It was heaven. Not a skinny smelly vegan hippy puke within a block. Sort of a de facto sanctuary city for we few Californians who aren’t communists, liberals, progressives, or foreign nationals. I think all 10 of us were there that day.

    They also have an awesome beer menu.

  5. As a founding member of SOBEB (Sisterhood Of Bacon Eating B!tches – or Sorority, if you are Greek-minded and/or an intellectual snot), I have no choice but to check this out. Fortunately, there are TWO locations in my native Orange County serving these little wonders. I will let you know after I have tasted the goods (assuming I survive to tell the tale).
