“Bacon makes everything taste better.” There’s a phrase you hear/read a great deal all over the internet. Whether it’s on Facebook or Twitter or on any of the million or so chat rooms and forums on the world-wide web people are constantly extolling the virtues of bacon. But does bacon really make everything taste better? Over the weeks and months to come I’m going to try to answer that question by grilling or smoking a range of food items wrapped in bacon. So stay tuned for some weird and whacky cooking experiences.
In our first installment of “Does Bacon Rally Make Everything Taste Better” we’re going with something basic. Saltines!
I was scrolling through Facebook the other day when I came across a picture of a bacon wrapped saltines on the page of Chef Barry Martin. It seems Barry had written this strange food item up on Char-Broil’s website. I’m afraid I didn’t read all that much of the article because I didn’t want to get to many ideas on how to do this. It only took a couple of minutes to decide this would be the first installment of D.B.R.M.E.T.B. For more details on how this appetizer/snack came about check out the link to Char-Broil’s website.

I’m having a hard time starting this blog post. I’ve been sitting here trying to come up with a cute way to kick off this review of “T&R Taste of Texas BBQ” on Broadway in Sacramento but I can’t. The main reason is that there isn’t anything cute about this restaurant. It’s restaurants like this that make me lose even more faith in the BBQ eaters of the world. It’s quite obvious many of the people who have written reviews on the usual review sites that they are either family members or completely void of any or all taste buds.

Leeks are root vegetables that look quite like giant green onions, to which they are related. Their flavor is onion-like but much milder. People who avoid leeks because they don’t like onions should try them — their flavor is mellow and not overpowering, and many onion-haters love leeks.–WiseGeeks
I was the proud recipient of some unwanted leeks this week. Free leeks aren’t exactly the greatest gift a guy can get, I mean they aren’t free bacon, but leeks have become one of my new favorite vegetables. Up to this point I’ve only cooked leeks in braising liquids with tougher cuts of meat. They add a great flavor to broth and the resulting gravy. I love leeks…

First! My apologize to the Bangles…it was just too easy!
Second! It’s not Monday anymore but what the heck it’s still a good headline!
If you’ve been following the last saga of my trip to the Fancy Food Show you know that I’ve become the owner of a fair amount of Buffalo Style Hot Sauce from Tabasco. So, it seemed only appropriate that I cook something with the hot sauce. There will be more, at a later date, about the hot sauce itself, but in the mean time I adapted a recipe from one of my favorite new cookbooks The Meatball Shop Cookbook by Daniel Holzman and Michael Chernow. I’ve adapted their Mini Buffalo Chicken Balls for the grill and turned this into a salad instead of an appetizer.
