My old friend the late Emmett Tolbert of Lugoff SC said that everything was better with bacon. He was of course commenting on a burger we had just ordered at the Sandhills Red Robin restaurant in the Northeast section of Columbia.
So while I wasn't always in agreement with Emmett on some things I was certainly fine with his notion that bacon adds flavor to whatever it may be included.
Today is National Bacon Day. Since 1997 it happens each December 30 and I'm a big enough fan to go out and buy a pound and fry it up with some eggs over easy and a spot of polenta (yellow grits) and simply have at it.
It's a good addition to whatever food you may have going on and I am particularly fond of adding it to a salad.
Have a tasty National Bacon Day and I hope you find yourself able to indulge !
