Who Loves Bacon?
In my house, we are total bacon junkies. We believe every single dish can be improved by the addition of bacon. I recently got the opportunity to submit my questions about all things bacon to the Bacon Master himself – John Koch, the Executive Chef and Director, Product Innovation for Culinary Research and Development for Burger King restaurants {imagine trying to fit that title on your business cards, lol} – and was glad to see that he agrees with our family – There’s really nothing you CAN’T improve with a bit of bacon!
Check out my exclusive interview with Chef Kock…
“Porkchops and bacon, my two favorite animals.” – Homer Simpson
John Koch’s career is filled with experience in nearly every restaurant segment in the industry. From family dining to fine dining, with bar & grill, micro brewery, casual dining and chef/owner roles along the way, John has a clear and real understanding of who eats what, where they eat it, and why.
My own Favorite Bacon Recipe
In the video interview, Chef Kock mentions Bacon Jam – and he’s right, that stuff is so dang good. Here’s my favorite bacon recipe, including the uh-MAY-zing bacon jam…
Mmmmm…. Breakfast with Skillet Bacon Jam!!
What’s your favorite bacon recipe?
I’d love to hear how your family uses bacon – Is it simply a perfect breakfast food on it’s own? Do you have any unique recipes or ways that you add it to your meals? If you’ve got a great recipe, link it up in the comments! You guys always have the best ideas.
The new hickory smoked bacon at BK makes everything taste better than ever, I always get a Tendercrisp with cheese and bacon (pepperjack when its available) to remake the cheesy bacon tendercrisp that sadly didn’t last very long :( the new bacon is a big step in earning my forgiveness though!
