Fried Bacon Photo: Food Porn or Appetite Snuff?

Deep fried bacon: It's a thing, as you can see here. Does the photo make your stomach turn or growl? If the latter, you can experience this dish for yourself at The Red Cat in Chelsea, where bacon tempura has reappeared on the menu after a couple years' absence. Why deep fry bacon? If you have to ask, you've lost sight of the American dream. Why now? The dish, which costs $10, was featured on the Food Network's "Best Thing I Ever Ate," and popular demand led to a re-baconcarnation on the menu. This is why the terrorists will never win.

i love bacon, but this dish could gag a maggot.

Perfect dish for the holidays that upon us.

bacon makes me think of the Jim Gaffigan bacon sketch.
though I like the hot pocket one much better.

Why dilute the flavor of bacon by cooking it in anything but its own fat? Unless the deep fryers are filled with bacon grease which would then raise the unappealing notion of breading that has been fried in bacon grease.

This is what my dog looked like every morning before he was fixed >:-(
