The Meat Bracket Round 2: Vote for Bacon!!!

This entry is for Round 2 of the Meat Bracket being sponsored by The Carnivore Project. Bacon is going head to head with other meats to determine which meat is the best. Last week bacon dominated hot dogs. This week bacon is up against steak. So please vote for bacon!

Meat Bracket Round 2: Bacon vs Steak

I live in Washington, DC, which is arguably the steak eating capital of the world. More deals get done over steaks in this city than are done over any other type of meal, and you rarely have to walk more than a block to find a Prime Aged New York Strip. So there's no denying the power of steak.

But that's just it - in DC, steak is the meat associated with shady backroom deals and power hungry lobby interests. Outside of DC, steak may not be associated with such controversial images, but in the real world most people can only afford to eat truly good steak - the kind and quality of steak that is worthy of being named "the best meat ever" - on special occasions.

Bacon, on the other hand, is not only widely adored but it is also easily accessible. Almost anyone can afford good bacon and you can buy it almost anywhere that you can buy food. Bacon is relatively easy to cook and you can fit it into every meal of the day in an infinite number of ways. And even some vegetarians will tell you that bacon is the hardest meat to resist. Bacon and eggs, BLTs, bacon wrapped shrimp, bacon and beans, bacon cornbread, bacon bits, bacon dogs, bacon cheeseburgers...those are just a few reasons why bacon is "Everyman's Meat."

But bacon doesn't stop there. Bacon goes above and beyond the call of its duty as Everyman's Meat. Because despite steak's patrician status, even steak can be made better with bacon.

Blah.











BRILLIANT!












Steak is a meat of priviledge. Bacon is for everyone.

Here is another bacon video tribute for you to enjoy. Peace Love Bacon.

  • The January issue of MotorTrend is always the "Car of the Year Award" issue.

    It's a super scientific decision with tests, experts, etc. and these cars go through a rigorous set of qualifications.

    At the end of this year's testing, the Toyota Camry and the Porsche Caymen TIED - first time ever in MotorTrend history. So, they had to get their experts back together and have a tie-breaking vote between the Camry and the Caymen.

    Although they said that obviously the Prosche Caymen was a dream to drive and everything, it came down to (paraphrasing, but only a little, b/c to be honest I remember it word for word - SAD), "The Caymen is a car that Every Man can lust over, but the Camry is a car that Every Man can own."

    So the Camry came out as the MotorTrend 2007 Car of the Year. Let's just say, I have faith bacon will win this one out.

    Steak is the meat Every Man can lust over, but bacon is the meat that Every Man can, well, eat.

  • a friend of mine just made a good point in an email to me...even though power dinners in DC happen over steak, ultimately the topic of those conversations is "pork"!

  • Steak is getting trounced. I'm going to have to add more bacon to my diet.
