The bacon craze sweeping the nation has been well documented on this blog. I’m sure most of you saw the story in the NYT of the above “Bacon Explosion,†or as I like to say, the “Angioplasty, Please!â€Â As if it wasn’t enough for someone to make this “massive torpedo-shaped amalgamation of two pounds of bacon woven through and around two pounds of sausage and slathered in barbecue sauce,†someone else decided to eat it… by himself. Enter competitive eater David Cagle, ranked #48, by someone with way too much time on their hands.
Not surprisingly, the bacon won – again. You know the idea is bad when 4 out of 5 people in Houston think that something has too much fat in it. Case closed.
H/t to NYT for the pic and @HoustonChron for the story.

Does the bacon backlash begin now? Or when Michael Phelps is photographed snorting a line of Baco’s?
