They sell it in thin slices, although I'm sure I could ask to have it thicker. They currently don't ship out of state, but if I remember I'll bring some with me to Pittsburgh next month.

A true bacon chop will be the belly while it is still attached to what we consider the Spare or St. Louis Ribs. I'm guessing most butchers buy the ribs already trimmed from the belly. Hence why you will need a local small shop guy. If you have a friend of a friend of a friend that knows a small farmer figure out where they sell their hogs to and ask the butcher to give you a chop cut from the belly with the spare rib attached. If he can slice them that will be helpful since you will need to cut through alot of cartalidge since they won't be able to trip it off like they do to bring a Spare rib to a St. Louis. You might want to get a few people to go in on this with you because it might be a considerably large bill when you consider you are taking away both bacon and ribs which will add up to around $4/lb. combined at least. Ok,

I'm a fan, it's just not as perfect a taste as ameri-bacon. My mom usually makes this for St. Patrick's Day - it's actually boiled, traditionally with cabbage.
