While I admire creativity as much as the next guy, I think his cooking methods might be a bit extreme. Here is a video of the guy cooking with a drill, a coffee can, and a hair dryer. Yeah, I think it's no wonder his customers got sick. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ktn3O26jOk&feature=related" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...=related</a> Yikes.

Originally Posted By Hound Mr. X, I think the cooking at some restaurants SHOULD be eaten with a surgical mask. This, of course, starts with any restaurant that does not serve bacon.

Originally Posted By Hound A glazed donut topped with bacon? Sounds good but I prefer the bacon pieces throughout the donut. If it's on top, I would eat all of the bacon and then have just a plain donut. Of course, both on top and throughout would be even better!

Once I have a place of my own I will probably start doing this as well. There are a lot of things you can make without bacon fat. But it really does add something to items that you cook it with. I also like the way pork fat melts better then butter, or eeeew margarine.
