I <3 Bacon

Run, do not walk, run to Cookshop for brunch if you're in NYC. Order any dish on the menu with the Grilled Berkshire Pork Bacon. Make sure it's the home-made, double smoked, thick-cut Berkshire Pork bacon. They have other bacon on the menu as a side and while it is very, very good, it is not as heavenly as this stuff.

It's smoky, juice, tender, thick without being touch, oh-so-fatty, just the slightest bit charred on the edges, and amazing. I had sunny-side up eggs in a skillet with toast and was wholly unprepared to the sheer AWESOME of this bacon. Seriously! They make it fresh, in-house. You can't get it anywhere else. I think they must put heroin inside.

Bacon, food of the gods. The other only bacon that measures up is at Balthazar for their brunch. Or the bacon dish at Gramercy Tavern, but that's kind of a different class of bacon. Unless someone out there knows of a better bacon dish!



But, really, that's a bacon dish at dinner, and what I had at Cookshop was a perfect brunch bacon accompaniment.

Mmmmmmmmmmm.
Bacon.
