I am a bacon lover and I have always wondered about bacon ice cream. As a home economics teacher I will definately be using this recipe.

I made this decadent treat and added a little espresso to the custard mix for a coffee flavored treat with bacon highlights. People eating it could not believe that bacon was an ingredient, let alone the fantastic flavor explosion it imparted.

"Sigh: feta could never be feted enough, in my opinion (unless it lasted long enough to become fetid..."

When it DOES become fetid...damn. I had some fancy feta that I left too long in the fridge with a slight opening in the cover that allowed some sort of rot to set in. It left a pleasantly pink covering on the cheese, but it had a truly horrid stink. I made the mistake of touching it; multiple handwashings became necessary...one just didn't cut it.

Sounds like a tasty salad, though!

themangolassie, thanks for clearing that up. i was wondering about this, upon my viewing of the first top chef episode. but indeed, upon doublechecking this with a chowhound search and some extensive reading. it is the general consensus that the original uno's location is pretty highly regarded as both tasty and classic in the typical foodie chicagoan opinion. i'm glad to understand this now.

Warm from the bakery in the Rockaways. Second that thought. Some years ago, I reluctantly added the everything bagel to my list of REAL bagels - plain, onion, poppy, salt, garlic. Cinammon-raisin, cheese? Why not just go to DunkinStarbucksAuBon Pain for a bagel? Now, let's find out who "invented" the black and white bagel. Maybe, it was the poster who worked at Carvel.

A quick defense of Pizzeria Uno: Unlike the locations of the chain across the country, the original Chicago location is still producing excellent pizza. I prefer it to Lou Malnati's, Giordano's and Gino's East. Unfortunately, the miserable fare served at the other locations— along with that McFunster vibe— have given Uno's a bad name.

Hey, easy on the onion bagels. Before the Everything Bagel those were my favorites. Plus, the onions used in the center of bialy (moist) are quite a bit different than those thicker, crunchier type onion seeds used on the bagel.

My favorite bagel sandwich: Toasted Everything Bagel, on one half cream cheese and salty lox, on other half butter and American cheese.

As far as controversy. I believe it's over. What's in a name? When it comes to the Everything Bagel, I believe everything.

I'm in the predominately cheddar group w/ the rest being whatever I have on hand,including cream cheese. I'm in the bacon camp and I also like diced onion or jalepeno,cherry or grape tomatoes.The topping?I've hit on the devilish combo of 1/2 breadcumbs,1/2 CHEEZ-ITS ground up together in the food proceesor.And yes they're buttered.I dont make this too often since it can kill you.

@Jazspin: I agree about Pizzeria Uno. Not an auspicious start. Yes, Uno's originated in Chicago, but it definitely has acquired a T.G.I. McFunsters vibe. One hopes that choice helped the show's bottom line enough to spare us a few gratuitous Gladware spots down the line...

andrew is already annoying. I think the saying goes something like win THEN talk s**t!? He already has constant garbage flying out of his mouth...and hasnt done much to back it up. he'll be the first to cry about leaving and of course it wont be HIS fault. not impressed! LOVED stephanie and richard of course...

The recipe is missing a step to roast the garlic - otherwise it works well!

When pigs swim in cream! HOORAY AND WOW!

Sesame seeds only. I can't even look at the everything bagel. ewwww!
