Bacon Grease Popcorn – Khyber Pass Pub

The little brown bag arrived at our table at the Khyber Pass Pub mottled with grease spots already soaking through. Oh, so inviting. Spice-dusted popcorn spilled out, and the billowy white puffs glistened with rendered Benton’s bacon fat, a smokehouse glow so incandescent, so dangerously magnetic, that even the early resisters at our table – the ones who first crowed ‘ewww!’; – could be seen reaching guiltily back, back, back into the pile for more.”Craig LaBan, Philadelphia Inquirer
