Has The Love Of Bacon Gone Too Far?

Has The Love Of Bacon Gone Too Far?

IT'S NOT BACON'S FAULT. JUST AS YOU CAN'T blame The Big Lebowski for its Dude-quoting, White Russian-drinking devotees, so you can't hold a humble slice of pork belly responsible for the fatuous cult that's sprung up around it.

Not too long ago bacon was just bacon, the Great American Breakfast Meat--a fatty, crispy, salty/smoky/spicy piece of perfection. It was a culinary simpleton, and that was the appeal.
