Bourbon, bacon, Brooklyn. Heaven
"They boast a menu of hundreds of kinds of whiskey ranging from $2 glasses of higher than Jim Beam quality, to glasses over $100. They also cure their own bacon. Whiskey and bacon...get more manly, I dare you to try."
"On to the piece de resistance: bacon. The scent of smoked bacon in the restaurant is so thick and mouth-watering that we joked at our table about having to washing our clothes and hair a la the days when smoking indoors was legal. We started our tour of smoked pig products with the appetizer of black-eyed peas and bacon. It arrived beautifully plated, two extra thick-cut strips of bacon atop a pile of peas. No southern mamma (mine included) would cook a vegetable without bacon, and it really does highlight the rich black-eyed pea flavor. But what I really cared about was the bacon, that's almost a cross between a thinly cut pork belly and a thickly cut slice of bacon, with a smokiness so pervasive you never forget the smoker, nor would you want to."
- I thought is was just so-so overall. The pulled pork sandwich was good though.Douglas
