GUYS I TRIED THE VOSGES BACON CHOCOLATE BAR

just go straight for the dark chocolate dipped bacon, dude.

yeah that would be a lot better actually.

this is a waste of perfectly good bacon

dammit

oh, hey, mookie..
i just realized i left some bacon in my fridge. i meant to eat it before leaving town.
you want it?

uh...kind of.

mrs mookie is making an appetizer involving bacon for an xmas eve party tomorrow, so i'll be okay. thanks, though!

is that real?

i am a big fan of woolloomooloo, barcelona and naga bars. i always keep 2-3 in the fridge at all times.

i see these all the time at froo-froo organic breakfast cafe type places in LA

urth cafe holla

I kinda know (by proxy) the woman who runs this thing; she made a CD of music to eat your chocolate by and I quote:
"The shop's latest "sensory journey in chocolate" explores the African-American influence on American music. An enclosed booklet delves into field songs of the 1600s and goes on to explore jazz, blues, funk, soul and hip-hop and a corresponding CD spins a track from each genre. Each song is complemented by a truffle that contains era-appropriate ingredients; the Rhythm and Blues Truffle is spliced with Jack Daniels, dark chocolate and sugarcane powder while the Hip Hop Truffle is laced with Krug champagne, white chocolate and edible gold leaf."
I'm pretty sure I can't get with this.

the Middle Passage truffle was kind of a letdown.

lolll

alcove holla

not sure i'd like the bacon chocolate, but i could totally go for some oaxacan mole puerco.

the alcove is pretty cool. there's another place i really like with a big patio out back ... the coffee table? is that right?

what's the place down the street from spaceland? is that the backdoor cafe?

fuck, i miss LA.

haha jbr alcove is the exact place i was thinking of

backdoor cafe is like right next to spaceland, yeah

confession: my favorite place to get coffee in LA is the cafe at american rag

!

ricotta-stuffed bacon-wrapped dates

^^^better than chocolate

they have those at the yuppie bar down the street but they have gorgonzola in them

I can hardly bitch out my own fantastic bacon-wrapped shrimp recipe but when you get right down to the hard solemn truths of this universe bacon really is best enjoyed a cappella

stoned, smug, and with a liberal arts degree?

i think we are having bacon-wrapped scallops tomorrow!

I like my bacon on the medium-rare side so I prefer shrimp, they cook through fast enough so that the bacon doesn't lose that crucial nutrient known as PIGGY GREASY FAT MMMMM.

for dinner tomorrow i am roasting a pork loin with cardamom-pomegranate sauce and bacon lardon/currant dressing

too many ingredients
why is pork roasts so awful that everybody has to put like 400 wacky things on them when pig's tummy meat is so delicious it is the best food in the world all by itself?

BE MORE CONSISTENT, HOGS

pork belly is more deliciouser cos it has more fat
i had pork belly slow-cooked for six hours at a japanese place on ian's bday and it was amazzzzing and melty

yeah pig muscle is pretty disappointing
it's all about the flab flab

less bacon talk more LA chat

ITS BECAUSE THE AMRICAN PIG IS COMPLETELY GENETICALLY CORRUPT AND IT IS AN OUTRAGE EVERY OTHER COUNTRY HAS AMAZING PIGS AND OUR TASTE LIKE A CARDBOARD

ham is fucking ham dude

haaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmm

bell hooks, i owe you and ian brunch, chavella's or tavern on the dean is the spot.
BUT, if a frou frou morning brunch spot opens up in the meantime with chocolate bacon on the menu there will be a change of plans.

there's another place i really like with a big patio out back ... the coffee table? is that right?

on rowena in silver lake? i haven't been there in a while but i remember they have amazing turkey burgers.

and they do have a big patio out back, yes.

yes, amazing turkey burgers!! that's exactly what i get too!!!

also missed: little mexican place on pico near the record outlet, astroburger by amoeba.

food options near amoeba are a little limited, but hungry cat always comes through in a pinch

how long you there?

<a href="http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/pomegranate-glazed-roast-pork";>This </a> is kinda like the pork I am making tomorrow.

ham is fucking ham dude
