What's with the overload on bacon? Now bacon INSIDE the burger

[Liberal_in_LA]

I was in the mood for some bacon and decide to go overboard with the “Ultimate Bacon” ($11.45 includes fries) which includes bacon inside the meat as well as on top with cheese and slathered with maple bacon mayo. Nom Nom Nom, pig-a-licious.

1. Wow, that looks sooooo good...

Now I want a baconburger.

[spanone]

16. kinda like a turd with a tomato on it.

[MineralMan]

30. Duck! Incoming!

[ZombieHorde]

2. If you had ever tried bacon, you would not need to ask. nt

[Liberal_in_LA]

10. 11.95$! You can buy food for a day instead.

[uncommon]

17. Lol, so what? People go out to eat all the time.

[ingac70]

Yum! n/t

[gateley]

3. A very popular appetizer at a local tony restaurant/bar is tempura fried bacon:

Tempura Fried Kurobuta Bacon, maple sambal ponzu sauce.....................9

[arbusto_baboso]

4. Sorry, I can't hear you over the Total Freakin' Awesome of that burger.

[Ruby the Liberal]

45. I know, right?

My mouth is absolutely watering!

:loveya: bacon

[arbusto_baboso]

48. I used to lie and tell my wife I was buying bacon for the dog.

But we both knew it was really for me.

[yawnmaster]

5. damn that looks good. I haven't eaten lunch lately.

bacon cheeseburger it shall be.

[The_Commonist]

6. Bacon is one of the major food groups...

...along with anything caffeinated, microbrewed beers and green butter.

[louis-t]

7. Even the dogs in commercials are screaming.

"BACON, BACON, I WANT BACON-N-N-N!!!"

[MindPilot]

8. I just ate a turkey, avacado & BACON sandwich.

mmmm...bacon.

[mainer]

52. That is my FAVORITE combination!

But I always have to have a slice of tomato in there too.

[Initech]

9. There's a restaurant by my house that makes a 50/50 burger.

It's their specialty - half of the patty is meat, the other is bacon, and it is quite awesome.

[NeedleCast]

25. That is the coolest thing in the history of the world

[Journeyman]

11. I was at a fair recently where one of the delicacies offered was "chocolate covered bacon". . .

It seems to have become a food group all its own.

I gotta say, though, an occasional bacon burger makes the moment for me.

[HereSince1628]

12. Oh for the days of portabella stuffed chicken breast wrapped in bacon...

Of course, that was before the 3x bypass (seriously!), now a days I get to have bacon once a summer on a BLT and I am limited to 1 strip of bacon. : (

I am convinced being deprived and unhappy just makes another kind of broken heart.

[Buns_of_Fire]

13. For $11.45, it damned well OUGHT to include the fries!

But still, if I ever have $11.45 all at the same time again, I'll sure get one! (Who wants soft arteries, anyway?)

[uncommon]

14. I chop bacon and put it in the meat before I make homemade burgers... bacon makes everything

better.

[EOTE]

26. Do you have to cook the patty completely that way?

Because I love myself a good medium-rare burger. As much as I love bacon, if it took away my ability to have the burger cooked to order, I'd just put it on top.

[Bonhomme Richard]

15. A friend of mines daughter makes and sells Bacon Cupcakes in

SanFran. I understand that the bacon is caramelized. I absolutely love bacon but that is too way out for me. LOL, when I first read the caption I thought it said $11.45 includes fines...

[L0oniX]

18. Industry motto: When in doubt add cheese and bacon.

[Fire1]

19. i'm still looking for "Baconaise!" LOL!! n/t

[d_r]

20. I saw it at the store today but didn't get it

[Fire1]

24. What store?? It's not at Kroger!! n/t

[d_r]

54. Bi-Lo

I don't know if you have those

[hlthe2b]

21. I had a mood like that a few months ago... got some bacon something

deluxe burger from jack in the box, based on a picture on the menu. When I looked at this gargantuan burger, I swear I could feel my arteries contracting and I couldn't eat more than a bite of it.... It was just too much and I really felt sick. As pissed as I was to be throwing away something that was that expensive, there were no doggies in sight that might enjoy the treat and it was too hot for it to survive hours in the car.

Maybe my "inner" guilt alarm has finally gone off. Finally. ;)

[NeedleCast]

22. Because Bacon is the most delicious animal ever

[Norrin Radd]

23. "That'll do, pig."

[blondeatlast]

27. Bacon is a perfect food on its own. I hate stuff like this,

Two slices, with some fresh pancakes (alas, i cannot eat eggs :( ).

Ick--and I love meat (although eat very little of it).

[dionysus]

46. 2?! that's torture!!!

[blondeatlast]

50. Not really when you aren't supposed to indulge at all.

I've had to cut back on meat a lot, so now when I have some I indulge completely in the best and then savor it.

The best part is I dropped 25 pounds from it.

But oh, yes, indeed, I do so love good bacon, OMG.

[dionysus]

61. that's why i only let myself buy bacon once in a while... if i always had some on hand,

that would be really, really bad

[lapislzi]

28. Bacon is a fruit.

I have this on good authority. It is vegan-safe.

It grows in the bacon groves of Wisconsin, I think. They should be celebrating the bacon harvest soon.

[cap]

29. adulterating the beef with pork

that's all it is...
Saving money but decreasing the amount of beef. Oh yeah and charging more for the burger.

[Kalyke]

31. The Food Network has brainwashed the masses into thinking

that EVERYTHING, including ice cream, tastes better with bacon on it or in it (it's said on that network nearly daily).

Never mind that between the Jews, the Muslims and the people who don't eat pork for dietary reasons/restrictions or who are vegetarians/vegans are nearly as numerous as those who live in the pork-eating world.

(I'm allergic to pork, myself, and I think that's a good thing. Can't eat the fattening, slimy crap.)

[Kalyke]

33. Just read all the posts and it seems I was dead-on accurate.

All these people claiming bacon is the bestest, bestest, bestest food EVAH!!! No one EVER used to say "everything tastes better with bacon" until the Food Network people started saying it all the time.

And to many of us - probably as many of us, if not more - bacon isn't the best tasting food ever. Chocolate is. :)

Now, I did salivate at the above mention of avocados (until I got to the bacon crap).

[The_Commonist]

36. I didn't know there was a food network.

I don't own or watch TV.
And yet, I believe (almost) everything tastes better with bacon!
Even chocolate:

[Kalyke]

43. That is discusting.

:puke:

I still contend that the vast majority of Americans swilling in swine have been brainwashed. Bacon is really not that great of a food. I eat turkey bacon on occasion, but I haven't eaten a bite of pork in 15 years and haven't missed it - or that fat globule taste (ewwww I hate meat fat - it's so SLIMY - gross - I'm cringing thinking about it! :puke: ).

[d_r]

55. actually I sort of bet that's good

[The_Commonist]

58. Actually, it's not "discusting..."

It's really quite tasty!
The bacon and the chocolate are balanced quite nicely, neither overwhelming the other.
And it doesn't taste fatty, so you don't have to worry about that.
I like chocolate with sea salt, and this isn't even as salty as some of those bars can be.
But you'll never try it... more for me!

[REP]

60. Lack of bacon is bad for one's ability to spell common words, bless her heart

[Pab Sungenis]

40. Part of that has to do with the salt.

Salt actually triggers taste buds to make them more active. A tiny bit of salt in a lot of recipes will make flavors more acute. That's why there is sodium in soda pop, and even salt in ice cream.

The salt in the bacon makes the other tastes in the sandwich taste better.

[Buns_of_Fire]

41. Ah, but you've never had chocolate-covered bacon, have you?

Okay, to tell the truth, neither have I. But then, I come from an area where deep-fried pickles are a delicacy, so it wouldn't surprise me if a chocolate-covered bacon stand showed up at the upcoming fall festival.

[Kalyke]

44. It will surprise you to note that I was born and raised and still

live in the South. In Tennessee, to be exact.

My northern-reared husband tells me, when it comes to food, I am the most unSouthern Southerner he's ever met. I don't eat pork. I don't like fried foods (with the ONE exception of fried chicken, but I have to be either pregnant or expecting Aunt Flo to really crave it). I don't like vegetables boiled to death. I don't like fried green tomatoes.

That said... I do like cornbread (NO SUGAR) and biscuits, but I like only low-fat butter or jam on them - no sausage gravy. :)

[Buns_of_Fire]

51. Well, hydee, neighbor!

I refuse to let anyone (over)cook vegetables for me, either. I know that's The Standard Southern Way, but I'm just not accustomed to eating vegetables thru a straw. I don't want everything cooked with a hunk of "streak-o-lean" (read: "slab-o-fat") in it and not EVERYTHING needs to be cooked in bacon grease.

Past that, I'm pretty open. I even (finally) learned to tolerate fried green tomatoes. I haven't tried putting one on a bun, with bacon and chocolate sauce, yet.:-)

[REP]

59. I'd rather eat tofu than watch a cooking show - and I fucking hate tofu

And I fucking LOVE bacon. And so did my dad - who was a Jew. He's the one that taught me that there are few foods that can't be improved by bacon, sour cream or garlic.

[malletgirl02]

64. I agree

I posted before I read your post. I too can't understand the bacon obsession. I hate bacon I think it tastes like salty grease. Reading the posts here, I'm in the minority, but I guess that means more salty grease for the bacon lovers. Also to that poster up thread I don't eat bacon, and can spell just fine.

[CBR]

65. My tastebuds tell me it is great. No need for Food Network. nt

[shraby]

32. This is one of the bestest threads I've read in a loooong time!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Bacon is really a tasty treat!

[blindpig]

34. Just another capitalist crisis of overproduction..

The primary reason that we are up to our tits in bullshit we don't want or need.

[dionysus]

47. or comrade.. bacon is tasty, and people like it. marxists don't like bacon? news to me...

[blindpig]

53. Of course, Comrade Dionysus...

today's pig is tomorrow's bacon.

[name not needed]

35. While we're on the topic of bacon...

[Gidney N Cloyd]

37. Now that is a tasty burger.

[flvegan]

38. That doesn't look vegan safe.

:hide:

[TheManInTheMac]

57. The cow was vegan, but the pig was not.

[joeybee12]

39. Like the old Joan Rivers joke..."I asked Liz Taylor what she wanted on her hamburger, and she said,

'A hotdog.'"

[obxhead]

42. Bacon and bleu cheese stuffed and we're talking.

A famous home made burger of mine ;)

[Ruby the Liberal]

49. I think I just had an orgasm.

[TheManInTheMac]

56. Overload on bacon?

Isn't that like too much fun? or money?

Of course you can reserve the right to ask me about an overload of bacon when I'm clutching my chest and gasping for air. I'll understand.

[AwakeAtLast]

62. Baconburgers are insanely good!

I'm in the Midwest, so I've seen them all over. There is a very good butcher near me and they make the tastiest baconburgers. They use quality meat, which is probably why they are so good. I don't eat one every day, either. I get them once or twice a year for special cookouts. Just proof that I could never be a vegetarian. :9

[malletgirl02]

63. Bacon

I can never understand why does everyone seem to like bacon so much. I hate it it taste like salty grease.

[Bozita]

66. This thread is incomplete without a link to Bacon Today

Enjoy!

67. If they could only figure out some way to get bacon inside the bun

[chaska]

68. There are more hogs in NC than people. And OMG the stench driving through there!
