JAKE DE PAUL: SUPER BOWL SUNDAY AT WOODY'S >>>

Bacon-1 Woody's on the Water co-onwer Thomas Johnson posted the following on his Facebook page:

On Super Bowl Sunday at Woody's on the Water we are featuring the Bacon Explosion, a dish made of bacon, sausage, more bacon and barbeque sauce. For details on this cholesterol packed, extra tasty meat product, check out this link.


For so many years bacon was consumed only as a breakfast meat or wrapped around a big fat juicy beef tenderloin filet. That was its purpose in life, to sidle up to hot pancakes dripping with warm maple syrup or two sunny-side-up eggs, providing the heavenly crunch and smoky flavor the flapjacks and eggs needed. Keeping the filet moist by adding fat content it did not have, bacon enhanced one of America's favorite indulgences.

Through the '90s and up until a year ago, bacon got a bad rap. Too salty for many restricted diets and too many fat calories for others, many Americans suffered through pancakes without bacon, and stripped the beef of its mate.

I, for one, am glad bacon is back.
