Slog - Comments on Breakfast of Champions http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/04/breakfast_of_champions UPDATE: Folks want to know where they can get their hands on this new and already famous bacon—so I asked the person who forwarded me this picture, our own Aaron Edge, where he got it. And, uh, perhaps I should've asked Aaron that before I posted this picture. Anyway, Edge found it at How To Avoid the Bummer Life, which found the chocolate at Marini's in Santa Cruz. UPDATE 2: There's no chocolate-covered bacon available for sale on Marini's website, so I gave the store a call just to make sure it wasn't a hoax. Still selling chocolate-covered bacon?...

Bacon-infused old fashioneds.

It actually wasn't as bacony tasting as I expected. Next time more fat or less healthy bacon.

Bacon on top of maple bars. You half cook the bacon then layer it on maple bars. Put in the oven at 350 for 10 mins to warm the maple bars and cook the bacon a little more.... and viola'!

Seriously, it looks and sounds gross......but tastes so right.

Voodoo Donut in Portland has offered a bacon-maple bar combo for several years now. It's one of my must-haves whenever I'm in town.

And while I do agree that bacon by itself is truly paradise on earth, chocolate-covered bacon must surely be right up there as well - because, it's got bacon in it.

They have the very best Maple Bars with Bacon on top! I also recommend the voodoo donut, and the cock and balls for special occasions!

Instead it was just too salty. I threw the other half out.

Bitchslap I thought I recognized that font - they're (obviously) a new item at Marini's Candies in Santa Cruz. The lady who answered the phone says they've been selling them about a month and they're selling pretty well. She was very nice so I did not ask her about the "famous" part. I'll have to sample some tomorrow when I'm downtown.

They must have seen that at The Twilight Exit. An order of CFB between two people is just too much - if only they'd offer say, a single slice of it on one of their burgers, that would be just about the right amount.

Finally he gave in and ordered some himself, but it turned out he didn't like it anymore.
