I’m starting to think Mike may have a Bacon induced coma where all he can do is eat Bacon and invent new ways to eat Bacon. In his dreams he see’s the Bacon fairy ( A huge hairy fat guy with bacon oozing out from under his arm’s ) taunting poor Mike with an never ending supply of the Bacony goodness. Oh Bacon fairy why why have you done this to our friend, why must he suffer this tragic nightmare.
Mike has to exercise his demon’s or they will get flabby and they themselves will become bacon lovers at which point Mike poor poor Mike will begin chasing pigs. Yes chasing pigs, first he’ll buy a farm, he’ll say it’s for recreational purposes. Then as the days nay hours go by he will populate it with pigs from all the local farmers, without their permission. The final blow will be when his new neighbor’s the Goodberry’s find him in his backyard chasing all those pigs screaming at the top of his lungs ” BACON … BACON … BACON “!!!!!!!

And to think I was going to try and top that but I just can’t!!
Bacon wrapped hot dogs! Bacon wrapped scallops are even betterer! But for more fun, check out the Gallery of Regrettable Foods at http://www.lileks.com/ ! Some luscious horrors of the palate to be found there.
I will do you one better. The Corvette Diner in San Diego features the Rory Burger, a bacon burger with peanut butter. They even go as far as to offer it with a satisfaction or your money back guarantee.

There’s a place in Lisbon, OH called the Steel Trolley Diner - wonderous for many reasons, but they have an “Elvis Burger” - topped with peanut butter, bacon and banana jam. http://www.steeltrolleydiner.com/index.html

My Mom’s old Saturday lunch special: take a hot dog, cut it lengthwise, wrap a pickle in cheese, wedge it in the cut hot dog and wrap the whole thing in bacon. Put it in the toaster oven until the bacon is done.
Had my Mom painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, that would have been her second greatest accomplishment.
I’ve tried to follow all of this glorious baconography as much as time and my virtual arteries can handle, but has anyone yet mentioned the “Bacon Pig”?
Welcome to L.A., Miguel. The bacon-wrapped hot dog (a.k.a. “Street Meat”) has long been a staple of late-night Angelinos on the way back to the car after a heavy night of boozin’.
After the requisite number of drinks have been consumed, these onion-slathered, mustard, mayo and ketchup drenched babies are indeed the food of the gods…wrapped in bacon!

That’s intense. I actually find myself more concerned with the mayonnaise drizzled on top. Mayo and bacon and meat by-product, together at last! You could wash it down with bacon beer.

You will of course need bacon-mints afterwards.

I can’t see the bacon. WHAT THE HELL KIND OF LINK TO A BACON WRAPPED HOT DOG IS THIS?!!
Sorry, my wife of 14 years left me about 20 minutes ago. This may factor into my disappointment, and possible overreaction.
But really….

Bacon needs no condiments. Ketchup and mustard will only taint the heavenly flavor of the mighty bacon strip.
I’ll have my bacon wrapped hot dog au naturale, thanks.

Speaking of hot dogs and bacon (and I often do)…
If anyone is ever on I-95 between NYC and New Haven CT., or Boston, stop here:

Rawley’s Hot Dogs in Fairfield, CT. I’ve been there many times, and despite the damage to my arteries, always left in a state of bacony bliss.

All this bacon talk is reminding me of how much I hate turkey bacon.
Not that I have much against turkey, specifically. But turkey bacon? That’s not bacon. It’s nothing like bacon. It is turkey rind. It is blasphemy.
Thoughts?

This probably belongs under the “confess your bad taste” thread but… I actually like turkey bacon.

I’ve made something similar to this, bacon-wrapped pork tenderloins, photo here.
But I have yet to try these, the logical next step in bacon-wrapped awesome.
