Bacon got REALLY expensive the year before I left the chef life for the wide world of food sales. I ended up running this as a special on the bars but it’s become a staple for me whenever I get the craving.

Sourdough, dukes mayo, good tomato, lettuce, battered and fried chicken skins. You get that crunch and savory you want from a BLT at a WAY better price.

    How much do you have to buy to get that price? Or is getting a pound ok from your distributor?

      The cases I have on hand are usually 10#.

      NOW if you have a local butcher chances are they’re still getting some stuff from the big boys, (US Foods/Sysco/Performance) and all of them will have cases on hand. Just need to convince them to get it in and move it. Odd’s are any markup is only going to be about 10%, you’ll still get a good price.

      End of summer’s a good time to push since you’ll have football season kicking off, it’s good for them to sell as a game night snack.
