Introduction

Sin is in, gastronomically speaking. Bacon, a savory workhorse ingredient that lends an underpinning of hauntingly rich and complex flavor to a dish, frequently without celebration or menu credit, is now finally having its heyday. Bacon Mania has officially taken over the entire country. It’s a national obsession continuously being embraced by devotees in each new generation. What was once strictly a breakfast staple has now been injected into all food forms and multiple non-food retail outlets. Basically it sells everything it touches.
