Do you love bacon? Really? Are you sure? Because if you’re not wearing a t-shirt or in some way physically sporting your devotion, I’m not sure I can buy it. That’s why I’m so proud of our reader, Nick, who is clearly determined to show us all up with his bacon license plate. Assuming it’s really his…Nick, is this really your plate? Anyway, Nick or some New Yorker is cruising around, showing the world how he feels, and I’m super jealous. I wonder if this plate is already taken for California.

In other news, the folks at SOT have done it again. Acme sent me this response to the Bacon Explosion. At first I was all, “so it’s a bacon explosion with an extra bacon mat, right?” Wrong. After baking this double-wrapped porkfest, they topped it with what appears to be American cheese and BBQ sauce, and surrounded it with link sausage and pepperoni. Really DSnipe? Couldn’t fit it all inside? Come on! I feel a challenge in your future. May I suggest, at very least, throwing some string cheese in middle?

I have a feeling that the ripple affect of the Bacon Explosion is going to go on for years. Thanks again, BBQ Addicts!

I’ve mentioned before how much I enjoy Dave’s Cupboard. This New Englander is a truly gifted cook who seems to give instructions on everything I’ve ever wanted to know, like how to make your own bacon. He’s also a food enthusiast who goes out of his way to give a solid review of every food he encounters, both good and bad. There’s always something new to read on his blog, and I’m constantly telling myself, “I’m going to try that!” when I read his recipes.

And now something I didn’t realize about Dave: he has an entire blog dedicated to bacon labels. Yes, the Bacon Label Gallery is another genius idea that I didn’t think of first, and another reason to admire my online foodie mentor. (If I ever get around to that driving tour of the Eastern seabord, I’m going to take this man and his family to lunch.) Check out his collection and see if your favorite is there. And if it’s not, keep watching…he’ll probably find it eventually.

It’s a frightening world we live in. You never know from whence the next despotic ruler will spring. And today we can report, one has sprung from bacon. Worse than the Soup Nazi, it’s Bacon Hitler. And he’s wearing a v-neck sweater. Occult-obsessed megalomaniac meats meets jaunty fashion.

Thanks, Gabe, for bringing this shocking news to our attention. Via Eatliver.com.

It’s my second favorite day of the year. I wish I could tell you I was going out tonight dressed as bacon like Gavin Rossdale, but I’m not. I’ll be Alice in Wonderland, an old tried and true. Because I’m being both cheap AND lazy this year! Remember in Alice when that baby turned into a piglet? Maybe I’ll wrap a package of bacon up as a baby and carry it along. Wouldn’t want anyone to think of me as NOT the bacon lady!

In celebration of this special day, I’m bringing back the Bac-o-lantern for your holiday viewing pleasure. Happy Halloween!!
