Bacon Freak Blog

Well, Bacon Freak just got another victory under our belt when it comes to “comparison tests” of our products again those of our competitors by a collection of media gourmets, connoisseurs, aficionados and “foodies!”

This time out is extra special however, because the “thumbs up” victory declaration is this time coming to us from a media outlet that is specifically known for their hilariously clever, often “tongue in cheek, “sarcastically irreverent” spoofs that they take at everyone in their cross hairs.

These wonderfully wild and wacky wordsmiths are the journalists over at The A.V Club. The A.V. Club is an extremely popular and widely read pop culture / entertainment newspaper and website that is closely associated with it’s even more famous, beloved and “Peabody Award” winning parent company, “The Onion.”

For many years now Manhattan has been known as a place for Great shopping, Penthouse Apartments and its fashion conscience inhabitants. Well now it will be known for delicious South East Asian cuisine in a comfortable atmosphere, that induces conversation and playfulness. The restaurant is Kampuchea, owned and operated by Chef Ratha Chau.

Chef Chau opened his restaurant in 2006 and has had much success since. He bases his dishes on the colorful flavors of Cambodian street food, while adding regional flavors creating a style, which is refreshingly unique. A dish that is remarkably complex in flavors yet satisfyingly simplistic is his Crispy Pork Belly recipe.

The pork is cooked in an oven at 185 degrees F, with carrot, onions, ginger, apple cider vinegar, dry chilies and salt covered in water. Once cooked the pork is allowed to cool and diced into 1 1/2 inch cubes. Although the diced pieces of pork alone would be enough to make your mouth water, the meat is still lightly fried in a glaze of honey, dried chili, and fish sauce. Then garnished with scallions, cracked pepper, and sea salt.

It’s always extremely exciting and satisfying to be proudly featured in someone else’s book, because it’s the surest sign in the world that you’re on track and doing things right! You see, when someone who is not in any way at all connected to Bacon Freak takes the time to offer us the “spot-light,” it’s a very rewarding experience and I must confess that I am both humbled and honored by the inclusion.

This time around, we at www.BaconFreak.com are very excited to be positively featured in a book that is all about “Vision Health: Disease Prevention & Cure!”

It’s an awesome feeling when specialists in the healing professions find our bacon not only delectably delicious, but are willing to proudly promote a recipe that prominently features it along with broccoli in a delightful little dish dedicated to help improve vision and prevent it’s deterioration!
