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?
