bacon haven

Today I found out that there's a new food truck in town, one that caters to the bacon-lovin' vices in most of us. Get thee to Bacon Bacon San Francisco! (Currently their website only sells T-shirts but you can unearth their whereabouts on facebook and twitter.)

It's hard to haul yourself out of the house once you return from work but this was something for which I absolutely could not wait another day. Drove to the DMV parking lot (is this legal?) and hopped the fence to the holy grail of food trucks...

blue-tinted windows? check.
vibrantly decorated exterior? check.
free samples of chocolate covered bacon? Hell yeah!

That's right, they didn't have rashers of chocolate-covered bacon to sell today but they made up for it with free samples of the product!

perfection in a one-inch square

I like the direction of their menu but decided to start simple with the Bacon Bacon Burger:

beef and onions and bacon, oh my!

Two tender beef patties on a slightly sweet bun, piled high with superbly caramelized onions and some sort of mixture of mustard and mayonnaise... nice and tangy. A few peppers snuck in, giving the burger a shot of spiciness perfect for gringas and chingras. The geniuses behind Bacon Bacon melted the cheese between the patties - I need to start doing that! And of course, the bacon... perfectly salted, heavenly-tasting bacon. This find could be dangerous.

A small point but a bonus nevertheless: besides being kept safe in a suspiciously eco-friendly box, the burger came on a square of waxed paper. This humble square of paper helps tremendously in keeping the burger together as you eat... do not toss or separate this square from the burger!

Hmmm... Am I always gushing about food? Maybe I'm not discerning enough but I just like what I eat. And I don't like to go to bad places... I mean, who does!?

Oh yes, and let's not forget the National League defeated the American League at the All-Star Game... great news for the Giants!
