Bacon is something that I've always enjoyed and just about
every kind. I was always excited when I was younger and mom would cook bacon
and I also always liked going out for breakfast and getting bacon or getting
bacon cheeseburgers or BLT’s, so basically I like bacon of any kind. In the
last few years though I figured out that not all bacon is created equal. Most bacon
is good or very good, but some is really excellent and here is some of the best
I’ve found
Heritage Breed Bacon Flight at the Berkshire in Denver,
Colorado
This had 4 different kinds of bacon and extras on the side;
lettuce, tomato, toasted bread and so forth. This was the first time I’ve seen
bacon as a flight and all 4 were excellent and still the best bacon I’ve ever
had.
Chipotle bacon cheeseburger at SanTan Brewing Company in Chandler,
Arizona
This chipotle bacon came on a pretty large cheeseburger. It was thick bacon and had a little smoky and
a little spicy to it because of the chipotle and was so delicious.
Thick-cut bacon at Matt's big breakfast in Phoenix, Arizona
When we were getting ready to order our waitress recommended
the bacon but I already had planned on getting it. This was peppered bacon and
thick cut and it had great bacon flavor and is probably the best I've had at a
breakfast place.
And here are some
other places that may not have the greatest bacon by itself but it was
excellent in what it was in
Bacon Blue Pancakes at Soul Café in Scottsdale, Arizona
These pancakes were huge with pieces of bacon and
blueberries in it and they tasted amazing, but I could only eat about half of
them because they were so huge but I enjoyed it the whole time.
Breakfast burritos and bacon at Doug's day diner in Fort
Collins, Colorado
They have huge breakfast burritos with your choice of meat,
which I always choose bacon, which has huge pieces of bacon inside along with
potatoes and eggs and then your choice of red or green chili or both. This is a great thing to have bacon in and the
bacon just by itself is really good too, but I forgot to take a picture when I
just got the bacon with my breakfast plate.
60/40 Burger at Big Al's Burgers and Dogs in Fort Collins, Colorado
Their 60/40 burger is 60% beef and 40% bacon in a burger
patty to make a great burger with cheese and toppings on top.
Sonoran dog at El Guero Canelo in Phoenix, Arizona
A Sonoran dog that was a bacon wrapped hotdog with beans, grilled
onions, tomatoes, jalapeno sauce, mayo and mustard. The combination of everything on top of the
bacon wrapped hot dog was excellent and went together great.
Thanks for visiting my blog and reading part 1 of my bacon
series. Make sure to check back in again for part 2 of my bacon series which
will be about the Nueske's bacon I recently ordered.
