Limited Edition Bacon Pillow

Sweet Meats has just released the Shapin' Bacon Plush Pillow and it's cute as hell. Deliciously stripey, as they say. The Bacon Pillow is a limited edition of 1000 and sells for $17.99.



While you're there, you might want to pick up the "I Love You More Than Bacon" button for $1.75. If you truly love someone more than bacon, that's some serious L-O-V-E.

Skulls @ Pottery Barn

Pottery Barn has their Halloween stuff out for 2009. Unfortunately they don't have as much variety as last year however they have thrown in FREE SHIPPING for Halloween stuff. Not sure how long the free shipping will last so I would get in on this early. Plus, last year I wanted the tray and it sold out pretty quickly.

Gorgeous mouth-blown soda-lime glass with a sand-blasted skull design and stainless-steel lid and interior strainer.


Skull Tray - $24.00

Skull Appetizer Plate - $7.00 ea.
Beautiful soda-lime glass with a platinum-tone skeleton decal.

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!

Hey Chicago........BACON!

Yo, bacon-lovers in Chicago listen up! Stephanie Izard, bacon aficionado and winner of Bravo’s Top Chef (2008) is putting together a dinner for you. On September 2nd, Chef Stephanie Izard will be whipping up the second Wandering Goat dinner, part of a traveling dinner series leading up to the opening of her new restaurant, The Drunken Goat. The menu for the Wandering Goat dinner is all about the bacon!

“After having so much fun at the last dinner, I am really looking forward to meeting another group of new people and sharing some of the new creations I have been working on. At my restaurant, the Drunken Goat, we will serve our own cured meats (including bacon), so lately we have tried out a bunch of different cures and smoking methods. I’m excited to share my findings!” says Stephanie.

Some of the menu items listed are: Bacon Crisped Oysters, Bacon and Smoked Trout Salad with Heirloom Tomatoes, Aji-Braised Pork Belly, and a selection of different Bacon Gelato from Black Dog Gelato.

If I was even close to Chicago I would be there in a heartbeat! If you're interested in going you can follow Stephanie on Twitter (@stephanieizard) where she will announce when the tickets are available for purchase. Price is $65 which includes all food and drink, and the secret location will be unveiled to ticket owners a few days before by email.
