I'll tell ya! I had a housemate whose girlfriend was vegetarian except
when it came to bacon. She said bacon was just too good to give up,
and I respected and admired her good sense when it came to her food
choices. I kinda admire vegetarians, but love meat too much to give it
up.

Bryan! You've gotta stoop the fee and buy some of Straub's bacon! It's
fantastic! No artificial flavors or crap in it, just pure deep bacony
goodness! Mmmmmmmm! Not the best bacon I ever had, but close. The
absolute BEST bacon I ever had was at that hillbilly place in southern
MO that has (had?) billboard up al along Hwy 60 and Hyy 161 (I think?)
They had bacon one tome at their breakfast buffet that was THE BOMB!
OMG! It was so fantastic! I went there again later and they didn't
have it anymore and I asked the waitress about it. She said they get
their meats from local producers and some local producer must've made
that most excellent bacon.

PS: I wish I had more of that bacon! :-(
