New ways to praise the piggy in the District

Bacon Salt (available at most grocery stores)

Let’s recap: Bacon in a sandwich? Been there, done that. In a chocolate bar? A bit more unique, but still not blown away. Bacon in a cocktail? OK, that might be stretching it.

But we haven’t even gotten started. Of all the bizarre bacon medleys you can market in a fancy-schmancy restaurant, think of all the half-brained concoctions you can conjure up in your kitchen. Ever wonder how bacon-flavored popcorn or tomato soup would taste? Or heck, why not bacon-infused yogurt in the morning?

All of that and more is now available, thanks to Bacon Salt. That’s right, one small plastic container opens up a whole new culinary world – a new “baconation,” if you will. And as if that’s not enough to send you sprinting to the grocery store, all three of Bacon Salt’s flagship flavors (Original, Peppered and Hickory) are 100% Vegetarian and Kosher.
