How do you like your bacon?

[sophie]

Chewy bacon by a mile. Crispy bacon has no flavor or texture.

Sure it does. It's crunchy. That's a texture.

Hardly.

 

[sophie]

Hardly.

I fail to see how it is hardly. It could be thought of as either crunchy or crispy. Generally when a chef wants to add texture to a dish they are thinking of adding a crunch to prevent a bite from being too mushy or chewy or generally one-note.

When I bite into a piece of crunchy bacon, it explodes into a gravel of pork product.

When I bite into a piece of chewy bacon, it becomes a succulent piece of mouthwatering pork product.

 

[bhsup]

Are you suggesting that gravely is not a texture?

EDIT: gravely? is that gravel-y or grave-ly??? Hmm...

Best is crisp edges chewy inside. That way you get a nice initial crunch followed by a savory piece of bacon going down.

 

[cardgame]

Chewy, crispy is an abomination.

Also turkey.

This guy gets it.

Depends on on what its on, bacon on a burger should be crispy, bacon on egg chewy.

I eat bacon by itself!

 

[Zack]

Hardly.

And chewy goo is a texture...?

 

[cardgame]

Certainly. Charred toast is hardly textured in a meaningful way; that's not true of golden-brown deliciousness.

Yea, well, obviously, but given the choice, it's obvious that I would choose solely chewy.

You do know that texture =/= taste, right? A burnt piece of toast is certainly textured.

 

[Antilogic]

Goddammit guys, can't we just all agree to love bacon in all its forms? Why can't we be a happy family and stop arguing about such trivial things!?!

 

[Leonel]

In my mouth. Cooked preferably.

 

[galdre]

How can someone not like bacon??

Have you ever ordered bacon in a Waffle House? I have. It shattered in my mouth. The flavor was damn near imperceptible. I need to know what people are responsible for bacon like this being seen as acceptable.

Fast food bacon is not bacon.

Waffle House is not fast food. And Five Guys is, and they usually have decent enough bacon on their burgers.

 

[Joecoolyo]

Five Guys is ok. The best thing about them is the absurd amount of fries they give you.

 

[DroopyTofu]

I like it chewy. I really cant stand crsipy bacon. Well, I can because crispy bacon is better than no bacon.

And Five Guys is #1

That's a strong claim you're making when there's In N Out, Johnny Rockets, Rays Hell, Minetta Tavern and Burger Box to name just a few. Five Guys is up there though.
