Start With Quality Bacon

One of the most obvious tips for amazing bacon actually has nothing to do with the preparation. It’s simple: You must start with a high-quality piece of meat. We recommend a quick online search of your area and pulling up the name of a local butcher (if you’re lucky, you’ll have more than one). Pay ‘em a visit and get a little closer to the source of your food. The payoff is not only feel-good vibes that come from supporting a local business, but also incredible flavor made right in your own backyard.
