Big Brother Season 13 - Meet Adam (He Loves Bacon!)

I don't normally watch the reality show Big Brother but an old friend of mine, Adam Poch, is a houseguest on Big Brother 13, which started this past week. Adam is a fellow metal-head and bacon lover so I featured him in this blog post from back in 2008.

I am so excited to see him on tv and his introduction to the other housemates was nothing but priceless:

"I'm a metal-head, I love bacon and my favorite tv show besides Big Brother is Beverly Hills 90210." Hahahahaha - love you Adam!

Bacon Paradise tonight on the Travel Channel

Happy Thanksgiving! In anticipation of the Turbaconducken you may be savoring tomorrow, the Travel Channel is airing “Bacon Paradise” tonight at 10 E/P. In this episode, they will take you on a journey to find America’s ultimate “bacon paradise” at some of our country’s best pig-out spots.



Here are the places they visit:

All Good Cafe: In Dallas, the All Good Cafe is home to the thickest, tastiest, crispiest peppered bacon on the planet. This infamous diner offers great food, a low-key atmosphere, and the perfect spot to catch the hottest local bands. Before even walking through the door, patrons can smell bacon and are quickly reminded of their mother’s home-style cooking.

Slater’s 50/50: Located near Disneyland in Anaheim, California, Slater’s 50/50 may just be the second happiest place on earth. Their 50/50 burger patties are 50% ground beef and 50% bacon- the perfect combination for any bacon burger lover! This neighborhood establishment even serves bacon milkshakes and bacon brownies for dessert.

Restaurant 3: This is the “house that bacon built”, with a menu focusing specifically on the sensational treat. In Arlington, Virgina, Restaurant 3 is a palace of pork inspired by southern-style cooking. This hog heaven features everything from Bleu Cheese Chips with bacon and Bacon Stuffed Pork Chops to a Bacon Studded Waffle and Maple Bacon Ice Cream.

The Lido Deck: The Lido Deck is an ocean-side bacon paradise located in Newport Beach, California. When visiting, expect a bacon-centric dining experience featuring wild bore bacon. The restaurant’s owners believe in letting the meat speak for itself, so they’ve figured out a new way to flavor bacon and have it melt in the customer’s mouth. What could be better than enjoying delicious bacon with a stunning view of the Pacific Ocean?

Bad Decisions: Have you ever been to a bacon and beer happy hour? Once a month in Baltimore, Maryland, 350 bacon lovers come together in the name of bacon. Each patron receives a bowl of bacon to munch on while enjoying their drinks. From bacon candy to bacon kabobs, this Baltimore hot spot is a guilty pleasure to hundreds of bacon enthusiasts.

Hash House A Go Go: Hash House A Go Go is a Southern California brunch staple. This San Diego hot spot serves up behemoth portions of both breakfast favorites and bizarre concoctions featuring honey, hickory smoked bacon. One of their most popular breakfast dishes, the bacon waffle, has eight full pieces of bacon baked right into the waffle- a perfect salty and sweet combination!

Marini’s at the Beach: This Willy Wonka-type boardwalk stop opened 95 years and and is now a Santa Cruz staple. From their enormous selection of savory treats, Marini’s is loved by many for their chocolate covered bacon. Invented by Joe Marini himself, this carnivorous candy has been fulfilling beach-goers' sweet and savory cravings for almost an entire century.

There's Bacon in the Air

OMG, Bacon is just flying out of everywhere these days. So much time and so little to do. Wait a minute. Strike that. Reverse it. Anywhere, here's some random bacon news...

Conan O’Brien said he would bring his show to the Minnesota State Fair if he could have his weight in chocolate-covered bacon. Perhaps a 205-pound bacon-hair-topped chocolate bust will do?

Permanent Brunch is a new eatery in NYC and I've got a date with destiny. On the menu is a Artisanal Bacon Bar where you can choose from New Braunfel's Smokehouse Comal County Peppered Bacon, Hungarian Smoked Kolozvari Bacon, Swiss Sugar-Cubed Cottage Bacon, Burger's Smokehouse Country Sugar Cured Bacon and Meacham Hams Country Bacon. Brunch all day? Why not!

In downtown L.A., Ilan Hall, Season 2's winner of "Top Chef", opened a new restaurant that combines his Scottish and Israeli heritage in quite a creative way. Some of the dishes served at The Gorbals include Bacon-wrapped matzoh balls and Manischewitz-braised pork belly.

And to cap off the day, here's a gem from ABC’s Wife Swap. This kid is hilarious. You can take away his Cheeze Wiz but goddammit, you can't take away his bacon!

Snake 'N' Bacon

Snake 'N' Bacon the TV show pilot is going to be broadcast as part of Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim block of programming, on May 10th at 12:45 AM. The cast includes Kristin Schaal, Dan Bakkedahl, Bill Hader, Peter Serafinowicz, James Urbaniak (the voice of Dr Venture!), Brian Stack, and David Rakoff, in live-action and animated segments.

Snake 'N' Bacon is the brainchild of Michael Kupperman. They are a famous and beloved film duo composed of a snake and a strip of bacon. Snake only hisses and Bacon only makes comments about bacon, such as "Pat me with a paper towel to remove excess grease".





I have high hopes for this show. It's about time Bacon got a starring role on TV.
