KU review of Bacon Salt

The one guy on the Phog.net forum who got a sample of Bacon Salt continues to taunt the others who have to wait until next week to get it. Here's his latest review for those of you wondering how good it actually tastes:

Bacon Salt -- Day 4

Ok, last night I had an amazing meal.  Hickory Bacon Salt was sprinkled on my mashed potatoes, chicken fried steak, and my green beans.  With each bite I drank some water laced with lemon to cleanse my pallete so that I may taste the intricacies of the Bacon Salt.  I believe my Bacon Salt is vintage July, 2007.  A very good vintage I might add.  The Bacon Salt brought out the subtle but yet oh so interesting taste of my green beans.  I asked for seconds!  It is true, that Hickory Bacon Salted mashed potatoes are to die for.  My taste buds were tingling!  But to top all of this off, you haven't lived until you have had a chicken fried steak with white gravy topped off with Hickory Bacon Salt.  This is truly what the gods meant for us to eat when bestowing this wonderful spice on all mankind.  I cannot recommend this enough.  I finished my meal a satisfied man.

This morning I awoke and played ball at 6am.  There was the usual crowd there and everyone seemed a little more competitive today than usual.  For some reason I had more spring in my step than normal.  I think it was last nights Bacon Salted feast.  Who needs a sports drink or a Red Bull?  I have Bacon Salt.  Afterwards, I came home and made myself a breakfast omlette.  Yes there was Bacon Salt.  How could I not?  My body has come to depend on it and I am afraid of what the withdrawals would be like.  Oh what a sweet, (or should I say salty?) addiction.

Mmmm... bacon-flavored cardboard pork buns

Gerry Doyle, an editor and reporter with the Chicago Tribune (Dave's hometown newspaper - he lives in Seattle now), is helping spread the bacon-flavored gospel! See his recent blog post here. The answer to his question might actually be yes, it could work on the cardboard pork buns eaten in China, although we haven't tried it yet. On a related note, potstickers were surprisingly good with any of the flavors of Bacon Salt.

From his post:

I speak of a magical topping called Bacon Salt that will turn anything it touches into… well… bacon. Or at least bacon-flavored food.

Consider the uses:

-Bacon-flavored toast
-Bacon-flavored popcorn
-Bacon-flavored steak
-Bacon-flavored barbecue
-And, because I know you were thinking it, bacon-flavored bacon

This could revolutionize our lives, just like the Space Shuttle and sneakers with little roller skates in the heel. Head over to the inventors’ Web site and buy yourself a case. You have no excuses: It has no calories, is vegetarian and even certified kosher.

We certainly don't promise that Bacon Salt will revolutionize your life, but we do promise it will make a lot of things taste like bacon!

Fun with Bacon Salt

The fine people at phog.net are at it again. They've started to have put Bacon Salt in some interesting pictures... I've posted a couple of the best below. Absolutely hilarious!

Go Jayhawks

A quick shout out to the boys (and girls) over at Phog.net - a community site dedicated to KU (Kansas) basketball - who have been spending some time talking about Bacon Salt instead of their beloved Jayhawks. As a result, the orders from the Kansas area have shot through the roof, we'll be working overtime to keep up with the demand and ship things out this weekend.

If there's ever a Bacon Salt RV (which will happen), our first stop will be Lawrence, KS - and that's a promise. Go Jayhawks!

Bacon Salt launches, Year of Pig officially begins

Today we officially launched  our delicious seasoning to the universe.

It's quite ironic that this is the Year of the Pig on the Chinese calendar - it's almost like some greater bacon-loving force willed us to create this. It seems to be influencing a very wide range of people around the country, as within 5 hours of launch, we've had over 100 orders from all over the country from as far away as South Riding, VA; Seal Cove, Maine; Overland Park, Kansas; Fort Wayne, Indiana; San Diego and Redwood City, CA; New York, NY; and dozens of other far off places (no China yet). We've started a custom Google Map that we'll try to keep as up-to-date as possible that will show where Bacon Salt has traveled, been eaten and purchased.

We owe everything to all of our friends and family that have continue to support us, many of whom provided their assistance, talents and tastebuds on our quest to make everything taste like bacon. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of your support, and for never looking at us like we had 3 heads when we told you that we were going to make a bacon-flavored seasoning product.

If you're ready to try Bacon Salt or purchase it as a gift, what are you doing reading this? Get over to www.baconsalt.com and buy some. Once you're hooked (and we know you will be - on average, people that try it tell their friends, relatives, casual acquaintances and complete strangers they encounter), seek out the store manager at your local grocery store and tell them those 5 little words we love to hear: "I want my Bacon Salt!!"

J&D

35,100 and counting

... that's exactly how many people on myspace have the words "i love bacon" in their myspace profiles. My young friend Justin, who was raised on IM, myspace and facebook, has expertly rigged the Bacon Salt profile to smell just like real bacon.

Come on by to our myspace profile at www.myspace.com/baconsalt or our 90+ member group on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2401345247&ref=nf. Who knew a seasoning product could have so many friends?

Bacon Salt recipe of the day: grilled portabellinis

This was submitted by my friend Shally, a fellow foodie in Atlanta, GA. Shally also introduced me to the "Big Green Egg," something that sounds like the most amazing grilling tool ever invented (although I have yet to purchse one, it's already on my holiday list).

Try this:

• Get a pack of Portobellinis (baby protobellas) and set it stems up (rounded side down) on aluminum foil
• Sprinkle with virgin olive oil to coat the tops of the shrooms
• Dust with original bacon salt
• Sprinkle some tamari sauce on the aluminum foil around the shrooms
• Wrap in foil
• Put on grill until tender

YUMMM!!!
