The Definitive Bacon Poll

[professorchaos]

Pan fried (in it's own fat, of course) to crispy goodness. Ideally, it is eaten in a heavily air conditioned environment which cools and crisps the exterior while leaving the interior warm and succulent.

 

[DirtyDave]

Crispy, but never burned. Getting a rasher to just that point is an under appreciated cooking skill. At this point it is one versatile food; good for breakfast, lunch or dinner. On sandwiches, in salads, mixed in spreads, on baked potatoes and even dipped in chocolate for desert.

Oh, man, do I love bacon. Nature's most perfect food.

However they do it at Peter Luger is the epitome of bacon-ness. The Platonic Form of bacon.

Absolutely!

Between two krispy kreme donughts!!

 

[Sullybob]

Preferably thick cut, pretty lean, peppered, apple wood smoked, and somewhere between chewy and crunchy. Chewy as in meaty though, not chewy-fatty...

Ding ding ding. We have a winner! I like it a little more crunchy then chewy.

I think battered and deep fried should be on the list.

This poll covers just the consistency of the Bacon once cooked.
How you get there is up to you.
