Every great chef needs a couple of Sauce Girls on hand.

Bacon doesn't seem as good anymore :-(

I mean, they pass it through a metal detector!

I think I'd prefer seyo's bacon.

reminds me of those delis that have the nerve to charge $1.10 for a can of soda.

Wendy's Baconator: Six Strips of Bacon

that thing gives me the willies - if you've ever used Pandora.com to stream music, you'll see they're heavily advertising on that channel. I get sick just looking at the thing.

My hands down favorite is Naomi's Kosher Pizza and Falafel in Flushing. I've been eating that stuff since I was 8 years old and in the twenty years since then, I have yet to find a better falafel. And their pizza is pretty damn good, too.

Although Maoz does give them a run for their money.

Cafe Azuri is amazing and Ezra, the owner is very nice if you are nice to him.
The felafel is fantastic, as is the hummos. The chicken shish kebab plate is divine, the salads are sparkling fresh and the baklava is a wonderful way to end the meal, not too sweet, crispy and full of pistachios or walnuts.
The premises are stark to say the least but Ezra's food is memorable

No way my Golden is gonna that pork fat. It's all mine! Give it back!

If you've never saved and frozen you rendered bacon fat to fry chicken in or sweat onions for your chili, then shame on you!

Another great source of bacon and other smoked and conserved meat recipes is Charcuterie by Michael Ruhlman and Brian Polcyn.

@philn: I loved that part too! The narrator's chirpy matter-of-fact voice made it awesomer. "LOOK AT WHERE ALL THIS GLORIOUS FAT GOES!" Deeeelicious.

(I'm not usually serious when it comes to bacon.)

Don't say that. You can't be serious.

I'm glad they make videos like this. Now we can see how artificial and processed our food is. Liquid Smoke - nice. And my favorite part was the faucet of pork fat and the voice over "This pork fat will be used to make pet food and gravy." For who? Not my pets, and certainly not my gravy.

I love Serious Eats. Excellent post.
