This Week in Bacon
It used to be that bacon on a stick meant this. But Minnesotans, who hold state fairs seemingly for the sole purpose of showing off what foods can be sold on a stick, have revolutionized (!) bacon on a stick, KARE reports.
There are 14 new food items at the Great Minnesota Get-Together this year. Yes, many are deep fried and several are on-a-stick. We went down the menu, and put four of them to the test. “Big fat bacon on a stick,” Larry Abdo exclaimed. “It’s got protein, it’s got sugar, it’s got pepper, it’s got fat, and some people even call it sex on a skillet,” he added. This isn’t your grocery store “sample day” size bacon. It’s thick. “It’s decadent, and it’s 3 bucks,” Abdo said. Vivian Mattson was impressed. “It’s a little messy, but it’s good,” she said, between chews.
Mmm.
BoaS inventor Abdo told WCCO that trying to sell bacon without a stick in Minnesota is “like going fishing without minnows. You have to have the stick.” So there.
If all this sounds like an Andrew Zimmern wet dream, well that’s because it is.
