The real deal in squeal!!!
Word is that from a frou-frou foodie-hipster point of view, this bacon party was ok.
But..again..that's if you like frou-frou stuff made by chefs that are this close to being narcissistic a-holes in their own universes. ( Calm down..I was raised in a kitchen I can call them assholes if I want to.)
BACONFEST™ 4-30-11 featuring Logcano™ is the exact opposite of frou-frou "I wanna be on Top Chef someday" micro-portion charcuterie. As those who were there last year can tell you, it's bacon explosion goodness with piles of bacon ice cream, topped with bottle upon bottles of the finest craftbrews and a touch of bonfire with gunpowder.
Can't wait to see you there :)

The Test Kitchen Is OPEN!
This weekend we tested out one of the many Baconfest 2011 recipes that are gonna roll in.
It's a variation of the legendary 50/50. ( if you're a bacon freak, I need not explain the 50/50.)
We went about 60/40 beef to bacon. Grilled. On a grilled roll. With sauteed ( in Fat Tire beer & Butter) yellow onions. Cheese ( we grabbed a colby jack..but we'll have optionals) And topped in with a smear of Baconaisse.
I'm gonna say it was near perfect.
We'll change it slightly by adding a single bread & butter chip pickle, downsizing, cutting them square, and using a grilled King's Hawiian Roll, while keeping the exact onion method as well as the baconaisse.
I have to pass this by Chef Erich, but I would like to call it " The Moo & Oink!". And if you're from Chicago..you surely get laugh.
The problem with the 1/3 pound version was this: I personally didn't eat for 24 hours due to feeling like Orca washed up on a beach. It's a fatty, salt infused stack of tubby ass goodness. But I wouldn't recommend having more than one per month....hell, I may up that to 3 months. Honestly..even though it's one of the best things I've ever had, I probably wont have another one til BACONFEST on 4/30/11 .
Beer Pairing: Founder's Porter. If you're gonna go heavy on the meal, ya might as well go heavy on the best of the black porters! Go down in a blaze of glory!!
