Imagine having a romantic candlelit dinner, but the candle is made of bacon fat and is meant to be magically added to your dish as it melts. This is pretty much my idea of heaven. Just kidding . . . but not really.

Recession Special: Save $1 – Gray’s Papaya at 37th Street & 8th Avenue, NYC
Update from reader rubberchicken – 10/28/08:
The irony is that the recession special has been around since the 1990’s…they just raised the price this week due to the ACTUAL recession.

D’oh!
Palo 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
