Bacon Everything you could ask for
It inspires big-city chefs, down-home cooks and local food fans alike. It shows up at breakfast, lunch and dinner — even in dessert.
The secret ingredient? Bacon.
“It’s everything you could ask for in a food,” says Christopher Eley, owner of Goose the Market in Indianapolis.
“It’s sweet, smoky, salty, rich. It’s so versatile.”
And with a growing number of bacon blogs such as IHeart Bacon.com and BaconToday.com, fans of the flavorful meat have plenty to talk about.
A recipe called Bacon Explosion on the Web site bbqaddicts.com, for example, took the Internet by storm.
“It definitely has become more popular,” says Eley. “You can use it in so many ways other than in bacon and eggs. Pork is generally a chef’s favorite because there’s so many things you can do with it.”
While supermarket brands can certainly satisfy, Eley offers a variety of house-made bacon at his meat-focused shop. His signature applewood-smoked bacon has become especially popular.
