So, the other night - flipping thru the channels, and low and behold the Food Network has a show that each week features a different food, and then interviews all of its top chefs regarding that food. This week it was all about bacon. I gotta tell ya, there were a LOT of chefs who LOVE BACON. I especially dig Guy Fieri anyway, and he gives his take on this place in San Diego, called Hodad's -- they apparently have a "big, greasy, run down your arm burger" that Guy states is "burgerlicious".........Then Adam Gertler tells about a place in LA called Father's Office, that has the "Office Burger". Now this one is a bit different, and Adam literally was drooling all over himself. This burger is made with Gruyere and blue cheese, bacon, onion compote on a dry aged beef patty. This is one Chef'd out burger. Then comes Tyler Florence, he completely raves about this place called Boccalone Salumeria --- Boccalone means "Big Mouth" for all of you non-Italians out there. Now, this is super cool, this place serves you different types of bacon (your choice of course) in a paper cylinder, similiar to an ice cream cone. Then you just munch away. Now, lets discuss dessert, of course Duff Goldman, the Ace of Cakes guy, gives an outstanding review to a place called Animal, again in LA. They serve this Chocolate Bacon Crunch Bar - that, doesn't really sound appealing, but damn it looked good - and he swears that "Nothing should taste this good".
I gotta say tho, what is up with all these Cali restaurants serving the Bacon, like I thought they only ate green stuff out there. I was totally disappointed and shocked that the Midwest was not represented. I mean, c'mon, what's up with that?
