"I’m a carnivore and I love eating meat, but I don’t know about meat for meat’s sake; I love a bacon T-shirt as much as the next guy, but let’s get real."

Anthony Bourdain in June 11’s New York Diet on Grubstreet (which by the way is entirely too fascinating - most people really *do* eat a lot worse than me!  Yay!)

"I’ve been aware for some time of the various commercial products and recipes out there that use bacon in … let’s call them “unconventional” ways….Starting now, for however long it takes, I will be trying anything and everything with bacon or bacon flavoring that I can lay my hands on."

R.I.P., Bacon

Ha! If only. But we will have a moment of Shut Up, Bacon silence today for Jimmy Dean (1928-2010).

"A recent study by the Chicago-based research firm Mintel found that menu items with bacon at both fast-food and full-service restaurants are up 26.5 percent since 2005."

Shut Up, Bacon, by the numbers. (Note: I didn’t track down the original source on this but I will try to later.)

Wake Up, Bacon!

From Fidel Gastro (you better watch out for Slashfood, comrade)—Maple Bacon Morning coffee.

If you read the reviews, of which there are 250, you will see that Rush Limbaugh touts this coffee which should tell you all you need to know right there.

Oh, here’s another review, perhaps this post will go on all day:

I was a little worried about this one. The name scared me. But I really liked the taste. The flavor was mild. It tastes like maple bacon COFFEE, not like you are eating maple flavored bacon. So, if you are looking for an interesting new coffee flavor to try, go for this one. If you are looking for greasy, maple slathered slices of bacon, try the grocery store.

You know what Andy would say.
