Popularity of Gourmet Cajun Style Bacon is sizzling

 

By Rocco 'Boss Hog' Loosbrock

I've enjoyed gourmet bacon for years both in my kitchen and in restaurants, but have often felt that I needed to contribute and add additional enhancing flavors to the experience.

In one way or another, I felt the need to add salt, pepper or another spice or accompaniment to make it even better. Bourbon Street Cajun Style Country Bacon has relieved my largely non-cook self of trying to figure out how to best contribute to a packaged bacon product.

Now I can put the bacon in the pan, and watch it grow and develop its zest as it sizzles to perfection without any additional seasoning on my part! The hickory, smoky, slightly spicy flavoring engages in a harmony of exceptional bacon flavors in my mouth which simultaneously delights my taste buds.

When people try to describe bacon, I have heard a myriad of descriptions including greasy, salty chicken. This Cajun Bacon is definitely not anything like chicken. The slightly crispy highly flavorful exterior of a thicker cut of bacon is juxtaposed to a softer interior that is a bit milder in taste. It was a great co-star of my dinner as a few delightful slices of protein were beside the vegetable stir-fry I whipped up.

I invited my friend over for dinner, who is also a bacon lover, and I watched happily as she too ate all the bacon before the vegetables. I can almost taste the dance the Cajun Bacon would engage upon in a BLT with the satisfying crunch of lettuce, fresh tomatoes and a few slices of turkey. Coupling this with an egg white omelet would be an excellent way to start any Saturday morning!

Unlike all other bacon I have cooked, this did not shrink to 1/2 the size that it had in its uncooked original packaging - what a delight! It smells as great cooking in the pan as it does when you actually eat it. As someone who enjoys a bit of a spice with my meals, I highly recommend Bourbon Street Cajun Style Country Bacon to those who also would like to enjoy bacon on a new level.
