So she immediately went to the Oscar Mayer as a stand out – then at the end he dismisses it.
Bridget you had me at bacon! "Speaking of dreamy Jack" I love these two!
I just re-watch this over and over to make me feel good! Did you watch the "Make Your OWN Bacon" video? My brain almost popped out my ears.
My Go to now for the past 5 years have been Burger's smoke House Steak Cut Apple Wood Bacon but today I got a delivery of six packs of the winner and going to give it a try this Sunday Morning for Breakfast. Love all Y'all Do! glad to be a member of CC ATK and CI
Try British bacon …. I think it's a mile better than US
Love the pots a recipes a your helpers cookers to help get ready for holiday cooking..
love her personality … she must be a very cool/wacky/and oh so funny mum ☺️
I think $29 a pound is more than I paid for my kids!!
On my fixed income that bacon better be able to clean up the mess after cooking it.😁
And every single one of these is streaky bacon, cheap bacon.
America, eat real bacon, eat back bacon.
Burgers Smoked Bacon is my favorite and my go too, no other for me.
Just leave Bridget alone and see which plate she empties first.
She mowed that bacon down…dude was like 😲then played it off like this😏😅
All overcooked for my taste.
I view her and bacon in the same light.
So many of these tests I've never heard of the brand being tested because they're not in my part of the country. At least I can get Oscar Meyer👏👏👏.
I could have sworn she said the Oscar Meyer was her favorite.
29 DOLLARS A POUND!!!!!???? Damn!
Bacon is the cheese of meats, so ¯_(ツ)_/¯ $29/lb ain’t so bad
I wish they had a weekly show together, these two, just talking about and tasting bacon. I would watch it until they retired. He's great. She's great. They are both great.
I wouldn't pay attention to Jack either… he doesn't know diddley squat about much of anything.
My theory, eat less meat but eat better meat. Skip the cheap steak or bacon for a couple of meals, then have really good meat for one. Think we all need to eat more veggies and veggie protein.
Usinger's applewood smoked bacon – exceptionally good. I get it for about $10 per pound at Findlay Market in Cincinnati.
Hey you missed out on Nueskes bacon
"My favorites would be these four." I chuckled at that one! 😄
When she said, “my favorite would be these four” I burst out laughing thank you for this wonderfull video
Love bacon!
What he calls "funk" is actually the processes of fermentation and decomposition. Perhaps the gourmands can convince themselves and their sheeplike devotees that this is a preferable taste, but….no.
Taste is subjective. No such thing as a "tasting expert".
local grocery started stocking large quantities of pork belly. A new trend, eh?
Jack Bishop has a smile that lights up a room.
I dont give a fork how good it tastes they day I pay $29 for a Lb of bacon will be my last…..
Rabbi tested, so you know it's good bacon.
Expert reviews? Big sigh. Who exactly made you an expert? I have eaten bacon my entire life does that qualify me as an expert?
If it taste good who cares
🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓
👌🏻😋
$29/lb…oof, not an every day bacon.
