what is your favorite bacon?

mine- burger's smokehouse peppered

if i'm in a pinch/non burger's smokehouse environment, i go with hormel black label

also- i do not like bacon to be too crispy, i'm of the belief that it is done right at the exact moment that it is done. this crispy, extra thick bacon is for idiot hayseeds. thoughts, go cats?

No idea what brand but there is a thick cut of peppered bacon that comes in a black package at price chopper that I usually get.

I also like my bacon a bit less than crispy. And keep any sort of sweet crap away from my bacon, TY very much.

Read a great bacon article the other day:

http://www.mensjournal.com/the-best-bacon

Shows pictures of their favs.

I've made this fantastic bacon thing in the BGE that is basically bacon, brown sugar, coriander, and crushed red pepper.

Fantastic thread, BTW

this is good advice, but dangerous advice. you tilt that cookie sheet just the slightest bit towards yourself when pulling it out of the oven and you can kiss your forearm goodbye. just kiss it goodbye.

Well, you don't tilt it then idiot. I guess I could should have littered your LGE thread with advice like "hey don't dip your balls in the hot coals, if you do you can kiss your balls goodbye. just kiss them goodbye".
