The Taste of Colorado was this weekend and while I didn't get a chance to go, the news only had one story to report every day. The Famous Dave's booth was serving bacon.
First off, I have to assume it's good. Famous Dave's is good. Bacon is good. Famous Dave's bacon has to be at least good squared. But the big deal wasn't just the bacon, but how it was served. They dipped it in chocolate first and the interviews were mostly positive. A few seemed scared or disgusted, but most seemed almost shocked that they liked it. The other way was a little less exciting, but to me, it was a little more gross. Chocolate ice cream cones topped with bacon bits. I think it grosses me out because I really don't like bits in my ice cream. Sure I'll eat cookie dough ice cream, but chocolate chip leaves me cold and even the M&M ones freeze too solid for my taste.
They also made mention of cotton candy being fried in bacon grease. It sounds impossible and I didn't find anything in the full 45 seconds I spent on Google. Even scarier are the other things I discovered. Bacon wrapped in cotton candy. I dunno, it might taste alright, but I think that'd have an awfully strange texture, but maybe the grease will balance out the sticky sugar and you wouldn't have to wash your hands after. The other creation takes it further and just makes the cotton candy bacon flavored. Sounds repulsive and the smell would have to send small children running.
So while bacon may be the greatest food ever, some foods might not need that much support.

It's like if someone's on fire, and you try to put out the fire by urinating on him. You think you're being helpful, but it's really just weird and gross.
