Everything Is Better Wrapped in Bacon

“Life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon.”—Doug Larson

Bacon is the great equalizer in American cuisine. It brings lofty dishes down to earth and elevates the mundane to new heights. It’s not surprising that most vegetarians I know covet the loin strips—or at least dig the smell.

I’m always amazed at a chef’s ingenuity and creativity when it comes to our cured pork friends. Here is a small collection of some unusual but tasty dishes wrapped in bacon.



Bacon-wrapped tofu: Vegetarians can dream.


Bacon-wrapped corn dogs: Something carnies can appreciate.


Bacon-wrapped turkey: If pigs had wings.


Bacon-wrapped oysters: Delicate little beauties —on a stick.


Bacon-wrapped eggs: Breakfast efficiency.


Bacon-wrapped bacon: There’s no such thing as too much.


Bacon-wrapped cinnamon rolls: Really.

Bacon-wrapped stuffed dates: Party flavors.


Bacon-wrapped stuffed pork sausages: Pork orgy.
 

Bacon-wrapped deep-fried hot dogs: Just like mom made.


Bacon-wrapped corn: If it’s round, it can be wrapped.


Bacon-wrapped hamburger: Make it a double-cheese please.


Bacon-wrapped squash: Bacon lovers need their veggies too.


Bacon-wrapped Twinkie Stonehenge: WTF?
