Bippity, Boppity, Bacon

I promised myself I wouldn't write a blog post about the superbowl and this is not a violation of that promise. I am oversaturated with information concerning that game and could care less who wins. The game is almost irrelevant, especially this year, because the superbowl has become so much more than a football game. It has transformed into a nationwide party that oozes masculinity. Football, beer, meat, and laziness. If that's not a slice of Americana, I don't know what it is. As I previously stated, the football doesn't concern me all that much. The beer and laziness will undoubtedly happen, even though I have to work until about 6 that day. My current focus is the meat.

If you are hosting a superbowl party and want it to be a success, I have a recipe for you. Hell, even if you are watching the game by yourself, you are going to want this by your side. The recipe for this dish, named bacon explosion, has been sweeping the internet in the past few months. Honestly, could there be a better name for a dish? This is what I like to call a man's meal. As awesome as those pictures are, take a look at some of the quotes from this New York Times article (also has delicious pictures) about the dish.

“It’s a variation of what’s called a fattie in the barbecue community,” Mr. Day said. “But we took it to the extreme.”

“You need to call 911 after you are done. It was awesome.”
