Bacon Palooza @ Olde Magoun Saloon
Dec. 7th, 2011 07:51 pmThis local bar has an incredible chef who chooses a theme for Wednesday nights for a month. December is a celebration of BACON!

All the dishes sounded unique... made it very hard to choose! N. and I had a grand time sharing four dishes tonight. See my notes and photos under the cut

1) Bacon Satay - four skewers of bacon with thai peanut sauce
This dish didn't work for me. The bacon was thick.. I liked it thin and crispy. And the sauce didn't quite work with it.
2) Shrimp wrapped in jalapeño bacon with sweet chili sauce
This dish seemed the most "normal" with four perfectly cooked large shrimp wrapped in crisp bacon with a slight spice. I squeezed a little lime over it and it was yummy.
3) Bacon Poutine - waffle fries with bacon, cheese curds, bacon onion gravy and a fried egg on top
This was a cross between nachos and an egg mcmuffin. There were too many fries or not enough topping, and it was a little bland.
4) Chicken fried bacon with bacon cheese grits and bacon cheese biscuit.
WOW! This was more like canadian bacon, coated and fried, with a yummy bacon onion gravy. The cheesy bacon grits were stellar. The biscuits were tiny - just a little bite. This is the dish that will send me back to order again!
