Who doesn’t love mac and cheese? As kids many of remember that magical blue box with the packet of Garfield orange powder that was a lunch time staple. As I have gotten older I still maintain my fondness for good ol’ mac and cheese, it’s like cheesy ecstasy in a bowl.
What has changed as I age is that I like my childhood favorites kicked up a few notches. Enter lobster mac and cheese with a crispy panko topping. You haven’t even seen the pictures yet and you’re drooling aren’t you? The funny thing about lobster is that has the same magical properties as my BFF Mr. Bacon, that is, it just makes everything better. (more…)

These small plates were all big on flavor and creativity and should not be missed by anyone who is looking to reward their palate. Without further ado let’s take a look at these small plates of awesomeness.

Ah bacon, a truly miraculous foodstuff. The salty, smokey porky flavors of bacon have been bringing joy to millions for hundreds of years. Bacon can make a bad day great and a great day euphoric. I thought now would be as good a time as any to put together a short list of the top 5 applications / bacon creations.
There are literally thousands of possibilities for a run down like this but I thought these provocative porcine entries portray the versatility and pure awesomeness of bacon.

When you stop and think of the myriad of tasty places that an egg can take you it is nearly enough to scramble ones brain. (more…)

You got bacon in my peanut butter. No you got peanut butter on my bacon. However you want to look at it, Spread restaurant in San Diego has concocted a treat for all you peanut loving baconistas out there. If you’ve watched the Best Thing I Ever Ate on the Food Network then you might be familiar
with another of Spread’s wares, the white chocolate and pretzel and peanut spread, a delight confection in its own right. But for the sublime amalgamation of pork and peanuts, Spread’s Ode to Elvis is where it’s at.
Aside from the creamy peanut butter and the smoky crispy bacon bits and the cool (more…)

Seriously, this looks like a legit dining spot. Right?
Take a long hard look at the picture above. Doesn’t it just scream “Hey! Some really kick ass shrimp can be found here!”? You don’t think so? It looks like a better place to get tetanus than seafood? Well, you’re not alone if this is your reaction. (more…)

What do you get when you add a fluffy, sugary, fried malasada with vanilla bean ice cream and two strips of smoked bacon, dipped in chocolate all drizzled with sweet honey?
