Good excerpt on bacon

" i have cooked bacon almost daily for two years. In my experience, the single biggest factor is proper meat/fat distribution in cross section. You want a good balance of meat/fat mixed together via multiple thin, long striations across the slice. It's not as simple as finding the right brand or source; you have to look at the actual bacon every time and figure out if it's worth buying.

Things to look out for:

There aren't a ton of good images of uncooked bacon on google, but this bacon looks closest to what I'd consider perfect. It loses points for the fat cap at the end and it could use a little more fat striation, but, generally speaking, it's very good. The marbling into the meat is a good sign too.

Usually the bacon packaged like this is the best if the butcher doesn't have good stuff. You want to examine the cross-section on both ends of the package and look for the one that best meets my criteria. Thin, long striations than run the entire length are the key trait to look for.
 
titang545 titang545 grilling tonight in your honor!
My man, I grilled out on Saturday will post pics later. I tried to grill again yesterday but grill wasn't acting right, might officially be time for a new grill. Damn thing is over 10 years old.
First one to take it out pays the bill!
Kind of makes me think of Fast & Furious first person to grab food says grace. LOL. Cool stuff.
 
My girl makes a similar sweet potato/marshmallow dish and it’s so damn good. It’s VERY sweet though, so you can’t eat too much in a sitting.

How was the meat? Looks a little dry maybe?

Brisket was good money. Pulled pork was definitely on the dry side.

I have a mean sweet tooth so I had no problem demolishing the potatoes.

My boy had the fired okra which was also good.

Going for round 2 of St. Louis' finest in a few hours.......

I cooked two different types of steak, chorizo, kielbasa sausage cut in hot dog lengths, I slice them so easier to recognize, chicken sausage, hamburgers, and hotdogs. Wife made a salad, roasted potatoes, bronies, and sangria.

I didn't expect anyone to eat the burgers so only made three, figured they would eat the steak of course everyone wanted burgers. Mother in law called and asked if we wanted to grill out and they come over. She is great and was already going to grill out for my daughters.

Good to be home and hit the grill

My dude. What grill you using, tried to grill up some more steaks on Friday now in the market for a new one.
I think more akin to most folks have Brussel sprouts
Say if this was a draft
Brussel sprouts could legit be a top 7 pick
But most folks have it around pick 11 or 12
But also Brussel sprouts game is lacking and needs a few good role players in order to succeed like bacon
WTF a food draft what an interesting concept, could you imagine that. What would go number 1? People would argue over it until the end of time.
Smirnoff Ice?
I guess they ran out of lemonade.

Duck donuts and wing stop
How were your insides after that what a combination
Man wtf is even going on in this thread now:lol::stoneface:
Nothing out of the ordinary those two always going back and forth with each other. We mainly don't pay any attention and just keep posting food.
Can’t wait for cinco de Mayo. It’s gonna be lowriders and Mexican food all weekend.
I miss the west coast co much remember seeing the lowriders driving up the street when i lived in San Diego. I picked up some margarita mixes in Florida last week interested in trying them out. Hope to see some others posting Cinco De Mayo drinks, at home or out and about.

Sugar Fire sure ain't STLs finest. It's a chain (there's on here in CO). Also I'm pretty sure you were in IL

By finest I just meant BBQ in general. Chain or not it showed up on every top BBQ spot list in the city I’m in.

But please, tell me more about where you’re “pretty sure” you think I was.

Because I figured the photo of the arch was a dead giveaway. But apparently not.

RE: First picture

Would that be considered "thin" though?
