Sam The Cooking Guy Uses Bacon and Beer to Make The Perfect Dish

Bacon fans, as you know I have been talking about bacon and wine lately. But bacon and bear? Face it, it’s a new reality. The brewers over at Newcastle Brown Ale www.NewcastleBrown.com just released their holiday MAN-ual, featuring recipes from Sam the Cooking Guy www.TheCookingGuy.com including his Goodbye Fondue and Grilled Teriyaki Scallops featuring our favorite friend bacon. Sam’s philosophy on cooking is “big in taste, small in effort.”
