Best Bacon

[Anonymous]

Suggestions?

We've been enjoying Wegman's uncured bacon.
I like the lower saltiness of it.
But am now looking for what people think are the best .
And where to get it.

I like Oscar Meyer. Costco.

Niman Ranch Uncured Applewood Smoked Bacon at Whole Foods.

It will change your life.

Niman Ranch is delicious. You can get it at a better price from Trader Joe's. The different bacon options from the Whole Foods meat counter are also quite good.

They used to have a wild boar bacon that was amazing but I haven't seen it in stores or on the web recently.

The Whole Foods store brand (Whole Ranch?). The thick-sliced stuff.

We love, love, love the bacon delivered by South Mountain Creamery. Next favorite is West Virginia Brand thick cut, which we can get at Safeway.

We actually don't like the "gourmet" types of bacon because they are too thick for our tastes -- we like it thin and crispy. As such, we like the Oscar Meyer Center Cut. 3 slices for 70 calories. Loved it even more when it came in the resealable hard plastic package.

I like the thick cut bacon. I cook in the oven on a rack. I sprinkle black pepper all over before cooking. Yumm

Oscar Meyer Center Cut.
Good if you prefer thinner cut.
Mmmm. Bacon. Now I'm drooling!

S. Wallace Edwards in Surry, VA has amazing bacon and ham. They have a store in Williamsburg or you can order online at Virginiatraditions.com.

I have milk and dairy delivered from South Mountain Creamery. They have a turkey bacon that is to die for. People cannot believe it is turkey and not port.

For cooking I buy whatever has no nitrates and is naturally smoked, there are brands that just add the smoked flavor. For eating, I like the red apron brand that I get from the DuPont market. I guess they have a shop in Arlington as well.

Smithfield makes great country ham and they also do a great smoked wood bacon. I think I've seen it at Safeway.

Trader Joe's doesn't sell Niman Ranch anymore because they make their own uncured bacon now.
