BPOW: Bacon Brazil Nut Toffee
June 10th, 2008 by timbotronPalo Alto, CA.
Pampas – a new Brazilian churrasco restaurant.
Dessert menu item: “chocolate torte served with caramel ice cream, crème fraiche sauce, bacon Brazil nut toffee, smoked sea salt.”
Consulting Executive Pastry Chef: Marisa Churchill
The toffee is a nice blend – far better than other bacon chocolate combinations I’ve tried in the past – a good balance of texture (Brazil nuts and bacon) with pleasant sweetness (chocolate and toffee) and the finish of salty and smokey umami (bacon).
Overall Bacony Goodness Score: ***** 5/5

Pampas? Is it where the old Q’s used to be? You must take me to eat there when I’m in town. I must taste this bacony goodness.
