Taste: In Search of … Bacon
Typically the cured or smoked belly of a pig, America’s favorite breakfast meat also lends itself to grown-up, dinnertime dishes.
BACON AND SCALLOPS

BACON AND DATES
The dates at Chick’s Café & Wine Bar off South Street, stuffed with intense Valdeón cheese and all wrapped up in succulent Niman Ranch bacon, are a right-thinking start to any meal. Or just graze at the bar with a glass of Dehesa de Rubiales Olaia.
BACON AND PEACHES
At Pottstown BYOB Funky Lil’ Kitchen, regulars ask for chef Michael Falcone’s house-cured, thick-cut, pan-seared bacon atop summer-perfect peach compote.
