I have a co-worker who frequently sends me links to fun/geeky/wacky food-related things on the interwebs. This morning, he sent me two bacon-centric links within a matter of minutes. Because apparently, the whole world has bacon on the brain.
The first was this report from the Digital Journal, announcing that the Department of Public Health in Los Angeles had banned the sale of bacon-wrapped hot dogs. The reason given for the ban by Terrence Powell of the LA County Health Department? "Bacon is a potentially hazardous food." Street vendors can continue to sell bacon, provided that they buy a new cart at the cost of $26,000, otherwise they have to remove the offending item from their menu.
If you are mourning the loss of bacon from your outdoor food carts, xkdc reminds us that one can still cook bacon at home, albeit to the serious detriment of individual health. So funny and so, so true.
Thanks Eric!
