I don't object to the bacon. I object to the corn syrup surprise accompanied with the bacon.

Maybe we can make our own bacon sundaes at Brunchgate this summer with homemade (hand-cranked or electric) ice cream and crisp, hickory-smoked bacon off one of our grills.

You can be totally in charge. Your practice should increase.

I like bacon in my Bloody Mary

I love sundaes and I love bacon but there are certain things that just do not belong together no matter how much you might love them individually.

Yup...you will never see a commercial that starts off "Hey! You got your bacon in my ice cream!"

I don't know fellas, there are tons of great bacon combinations out there that seem unconventional, but end up being delicious! Fruit and salt proteins go great together. Prosciutto-wrapped melon, apple, + grapes/raisins in chicken salad (though admittedly Waldorf is least favorite chicken salad), chocolate covered bacon, and grilled peaches with bacon (as mentioned on DBR) are all quite lovely.

Consider bacon's main flavor contribution to food: salt. Salt and sugar go hand in hand. Without salt, sugar is just plain old boring. You ever dip a french fry in your Frosty? YUM!

I think the flavor combinations could be perfect if you had the right ingredients. The problem with Burger King is that they just don't have the right ingredients.

Looks like it's official:

Umm... I saw this on MSNBC this morning. 550 cals, LOADS of saturated fat. But really, this is competition for Jack-in-the-Box's Bacon milkshake. And DENNY'S has something similar.

I think the r&d departments have been watching a little too much Iron Chef.

Then again, maybe they stopped by the local donut shop in Richmond, KY (bacon-maple-frosted cream-filled long johns). How long before they'll deep-fry that at the NC State Fair?

Bring a few down with you next month and we'll try...
