As Anthony Bourdain once noted, “If you want to make people happy, give them bacon.” Apparently having had a great deal of success with their temporarily carrying Benton’s bacon last year, in addition to always stocking Nueske’s, The Wine and Cheese place has taken note of Bourdain’s words dubbing 2010, “the year of bacon.” As their newsletter today stated, the existing plan is to feature one new artisanal bacon per month sourced from throughout the country. The first featured will be Vande Rose’s highly acclaimed Duroc bacon which Momofuku’s David Chang called, “one of the best bacons ever.”
Two questions:
- 1. Who wants to start a blind bacon-tasting club?
- 2. Who do I beg to bring in Scott’s Country Jowl Bacon?

Anthony Bourdain @ Google
Mar 15, 2008 chefs
You know, maybe Google is poised to take over the world, but maybe that’s also not such a bad thing.
Not only do they have a corporate chef, but they also do incredibly cool things for their employees like
The Authors@Google program brings authors of all stripes to Google for informal talks centering on their recently published books. Through the program, we invite authors to our Mountain View headquarters as well as our New York, Santa Monica, and Ann Arbor offices, where they treat Googlers to readings…
And one of those authors was Anthony Bourdain at Google’s Mountain View, CA headquarters last November.
Did anyone know about this? I certainly didn’t.

I’ll call your canned hamburger…
Feb 3, 2008 general food
and raise you canned bacon.
Having seen the canned hamburger over on Gut Check I was left wanting to get a look at what it would look like cracked fresh from the can instead of all gussied up with lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese.
Having now seen canned bacon fresh from a can, I am terrified of what that might look like and have promptly discarded the thought from my mind.
while Anthony Bourdain said, “if you want to make people happy, give them bacon,” I really don’t think this is what he had in mind.
This will make no one happy, and the most frightening thing isn’t even that someone unwound a can of 20 year old canned bacon–it’s that they opened it to attempt to develop it all over again so they can prop it up next to their other hot sellers: Red Feather Canned Australian Cheddar Cheese and Red Feather New Zealand Canned Creamery Butter.
But then again, now that we have a source for canned hamburger, canned bacon, and canned cheese; and I’m pretty sure I’ve seen canned onions before; and there’s certainly canned tomato; all we need now is some canned lettuce and we can make an entirely can-sourced bacon cheeseburger.
Hooray!
Go check out the pictures if you dare.
