Slog - Comments on You Asked for Bacon? http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/10/you_asked_for_bacon Remember that hamburger with two grilled cheese sandwiches for a bun? It wasn't enough for the demanding masses here at Slog. We debated the merits of adding bacon, blue cheese, and grilled onions. Adam Kuban over at A Hamburger Today writes, "So many of you asked for bacon on this thing that we just had to oblige." Behold, "The Double(!) Bacon Hamburger Fatty Melt." Thank you, Adam. We are swelling with gratitude. We are also proud to be part of the swine-chanting masses, but we're feeling a tad guilty for the risks of your experimental pursuits. Please accept this reciprocal...

I think that it is you, dear, who is the bitch. I was mocking you and your holier-than-thou, preachy, bitchy attitude, not the fact that meat is bad for the environment.

I eat virtually no meat. Maybe once a month or less. So, I probably absolutely agree with anything you have to say on this topic, from a content perspective.

But, unlike you, I know that the way to change people's minds is not to call them an asshole for eating meat.

Warning: Use small pieces of bread. Two sourdough grilled cheese sandwiches plus a hamburger is way too much bread to eat in one sitting.

Also, other toppings a good idea - just tomatoes and pickles made for kind of a bland experience.
