Actually, I think doing bacon like that is an old Mennonite thing, I found it in a cookbook once. If you just fry it in a pan after dredging it in milk and then pepper flour, you get some really excellent bacon. Much easier than deep fat frying, too.

I think you'll find that this campaign has widespread, bipartisan support.

I would be down with a Chicago Slog Happy. And Risque Caf� is a 5 minute walk from my house. And they have insanely large beer and whiskey offerings.

@3:

I guess if it's not a fark comment it's not worth mentioning? What is your point? Fark is funny but they aren't the end all to every conversation.

Nor does Chicago have the midwest monopoly on free bacon. If you're in Milwaukee, check out The Comet. Plus they've got Beer School. And New Glarus....

Anyone who loves bacon will want to bid on the Strangercrombie item being concocted by Aislinn, Monique, Kyleen and co. It will fulfill your bacon fantasies...some of them, at least.

Look, I love bacon just as much as the next guy -- more, probably -- but I'm getting sick of this bacon-everything meme. Bacon is good, but so are a lot of other things. Why hasn't rib-eye steak or carnitas tacos become a catch phrase?

Jesus, free all you can eat bacon? What do they do with the dead bodies that accumulate under the tables?

Candied bacon is also delicious. Mmmmm.

Jesus was made of bacon. The only "true" religion is bacon Jesus. Jesus, lettuce and tomato sandwich saves.

@17 I'd like to pray at your church...with a crown of Italian bread and mayo.

All praise Bacon Jesus.

@13: where do you think free bacon comes from??
