The Bacon Explosion is Exploding on Old Media
I wrote about the Bacon Explosion a few weeks ago and it that short time it’s exploded in to a Meme. The guys from BBQ Addicts have even been featured on local and national NEWS. Below is a YouTube video of their local coverage.
After watching the video there is one quote you will be repeating to friends. In case you’re to lazy to watch the whole video here it is:
“It does make you feel a little dirty, but it’s satisfying”.
I don’t think I could have said it better myself, I have always said bacon is the most extreme food. Since it’s Anti-Health (duh), Anti-Religion (some religions band the eating of it), and Anti-Government (in some states they outlawed street vendors selling it).
That being said, I wonder how long it’s going to take for the Bacon Explosion to be topped. There is a good chance it will happen at this year’s Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival. As always, I will keep you posted on this and other big bacon developments.
No kidding — I’ve had two people email me this New York Times article about it in the last 5 minutes. I’m not sure if it made the print version, but I’d like to think that it did.

I’ll be making this on Sunday and the first-hand account will follow.
Thanks Mike! I knew I could count on you to try and make this yummy monster. Let us know how it turns out.
