J&D’s Bacon Lube is, unfortunately, very real

November 29th, 2011 | 3 Comments

And so it was, 2.5 years ago when the world was at the height of its almost irritating obsession with bacon when someone emailed me the apparent existence of a product – J&D’s Bacon Lube. Known for their oddball bacon products like Bacon Salt, Bacon Mayonnaise and various other bacon-related foods (but no actual bacon) it appeared as though J&D Foods was moving into the adult lubricant market. My general reaction was something like “WHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY” … Read entire article »

The 2nd Annual Bacon and Beer Fest!

August 11th, 2010 | 3 Comments

Today marks the 1 month lead up to one of the Baltimore area’s greatest brewery tours, the Heavy Seas Pyrates, Pigs and Pints tour! A celebration of all things pirate, bacon and some of the greatest local brew put out by the fine folks of Heavy Seas (aka Clipper City Brewery). Last year’s celebration was absolutely incredible (seriously look at the pictures, it was awesome) and this year’s promises to be more of the same …despite the fact that the tour is not on Talk Like a Pirate Day, and is instead on our current greatest day of national mourning, but whaddayagonnado. Here’s the rundown: … Read entire article »

BLT Cocktails!

November 10th, 2009 | 7 Comments

Once you’ve broken your cherry by making some bacon-infused vodka Bloody Marys, give this one a shot. After tasting a bacon Bloody Mary, I was inspired to create a BLT-type drink. After a lot of trial and error, here’s what I came up with. Now, if you haven’t made bacon vodka yet, it’s time to man up already. It’s wicked easy – cook some bacon and add vodka. Having done that, let’s make some BLT-inspired cocktails. For our first example, start by adding equal parts of the following: Bacon-infused vodka Hendricks gin (The “L”) – For those of you not familiar with it, Hendricks is a Scottish gin made from traditional botanicals as well as cucumber leaves and rose petals. You WILL taste the difference. If you’re afraid of gin, this one’s a pussycat; … Read entire article »

Bacon Bloodies – now at Oregon Grille!

November 2nd, 2009 | 4 Comments

This was a joint venture between myself and Erik Brown, the bartender at the Oregon Grille. Once I learned that it was possible to create a bacon-infused vodka, I immediately thought, “That would make a bitchin’ Bloody Mary.” I finally got around to making the vodka a couple of weeks ago, and the drink had its debut today. It was a big hit. Once you make your bacon-infused vodka (refer to previous link!), the hard part is over. All you have left to do is make your mix. For his Bloody Mary mix, Erik works outside the realm of standard measurements. He adds enough of each ingredient until it tastes just right (I’ve found it’s better to make the mix to your personal taste anyway.) You’re essentially going to combine … Read entire article »
