the word “adventurous” struck a colleague as an odd choice when applied to bacon. He’s the perfect candidate to look through this issue — because there is So Much More to cured and smoked pork than the typical breakfast serving or a BLT sandwich.

Count me among the aficionados who love to talk about “meat candy.” One of my first destinations at the county fair is the vendor with the deep-fried chocolate-covered bacon. Oh, my goodness. My fondness for this food isn’t limited to the dressed-up version, though. I will try just about anything decorated with bacon.

Have you seen comedian Jim Gaffigan’s declarations about bacon as “the most beautiful thing on Earth”? When he calls bacon bits “the fairy dust of the food community” that improve everything and turn a salad intro an entree, I have to nod my head. Don’t you?

We hope that you’ll nod your head often — as in, “Yes! THAT is going to happen” — while perusing these recipes. We’ve got you covered from morning to night, including desserts and cocktails.

You’ll also find detailed instructions for making your very own bacon. You read that right: home made bacon. Turns out just about anyone can create it. Turn to page right now. What are you waiting for?
