Iron Bess Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Have we all expired and gone to Glory?? Watch it here: http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/food_coach&id=7096731 READ it here! By Lori Corbin LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Bacon. You can almost smell it. And while we know it's a great breakfast food, using it in dessert is the latest L.A. trend. "My mom's favorite sandwich was peanut butter and bacon and so I'm the type of person who dips bacon in everything," said Brooke Mosley, chef of Viceroy Hotel's Whist restaurant. Five different chefs at five different restaurants all have the same thought on pigging out. "Bacon adds a little smoky savory to your desserts you know and I think smoky and sweet blends really nicely with a little salt," said Debbie Lee of GyEnari. Lee developed a spicy chocolate creme brulee with bacon shortbread, while Mosley created the Elvis cupcake. "It's a banana cupcake; it's filled with banana curd, peanut butter frosting, and I made the peanut butter myself, and candy bacon sprinkles," described Mosley. "Peanut butter and bacon, that is fun and playful, it made me feel like a kid again," said Stacey Quackenbush, a taster. Downtown at the Nickel Diner, chef Sharlena Fong makes glazed donuts rolled in bacon for the morning coffee crowd and on weekends they give away the donut holes for free. Over at Animal on Fairfax, chef and owner Jon Shook explains their signature bacon chocolate crunch bar with layers of hazelnut, dark chocolate, peanut ganache, chocolate mousse and a torched top layer of bacon. While Sona's Ramon Perez created caramelized white chocolate with a coffee sheet, bacon powder, bacon vinaigrette and a coffee soil topped with foie gras ice cream. Who knew bacon could be so sophisticated? Apparently, this trend started back in 2005 when a gastronomist from the U.K. whipped up some bacon and egg ice cream. Now, chefs and confectioners alike think it is a positive point to put pork in pastry. "It's about blending different textures, different flavors and having everything melt together, sort of work in harmony," said Lee. The trend is an apparent hit with diners. "You think in theory, it doesn't sound good, but in practice when you know you like all these different ingredients and then you put them all together, it's just, you know, a gastronomic delight," said diner Irving Simons.

Ransom Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 This event occurred just this weekend, at the Time Traveler's Tavern, a very large, unheated barn-like building in the mountains at a State Park. Quartermaster James turns off the blowers in the kitchen so the scent of frying bacon would waft in the air, in an attempt to get everyone up a little earlier on Saturday morning. It worked better than he anticipated. The smoke detector went off. A very loud smoke detector. Yup, it got everyone awake in a hurry! LOL Jamie referred to it as "The bacon aroma-therapy experiment gone wrong." BTW, the bacon was excellent!!! ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

William Brand Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share Posted April 26, 2010 The wife and I tried Vosges dark chocolate Bacon bar today. I prefer it greatly. The dark, almost bitter chocolate marries very well with the apple smoked bacon, and I highly recommend it. It's rich, smokey and goes well with a good movie and good company. Best when shared.

Silkie McDonough Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 My only question is ...is there no stove inside the house? Is the owner of the house a vegan and bacon and other meat must be cooked outside? Well, at least the bacon eater won't let a little snow stop them!
