What a fiendishly rad expose of the possibilities of bacon. SF has always been a majorly fun food stop. Everyone talks about the restaurants and chefs, but here’s the Takedown to once again prove that the average joe’s walking the streets over there are actually not so average!!!! In fact, let’s burn every restaurant down!!! Trust me, it won’t be anarchy. There’s way too much yummy talent in this town- a new cooking culture will form, of good old fashioned home cooks with boundless energy and rad strength. THANK YOU COOKS!!!
And thank you to my sponsor Hormel Black Label Bacon for letting this thing tour the planet and give endless amounts of bacon to competitors wherever we go!! And Public Works, for being a fantastic venue for this madness to ensue…
Check out this incredibly extensive and caring article by Judge Josh Leskar! That dude really cares, and gave his thoughts on all the recipes!!! Thanks for being the best judge ever, Josh!!!
