"wedge" news and stories

F

From the creator of the Ultimate Bacon Sandwich comes the latest in bacon-saturated dining: bacon cereal. This isn't bacon flavored cereal bits or bacon-shaped rice puffs. It is a bowl of chopped up bacon (one full pound) with blue cheese dressing acting as "milk" and bacon bits on top - like a wedge salad, in a bowl, without the formality of lettuce. The chef had this to say about eating it: "I'm not sure how to describe the feeling of eating this. It was far worse than the Ultimate Bacon Sandwich. It probably compares to being electrocuted while having your wisdom teeth removed by a back alley dentist. My tongue burned with each bite from the sodium content. I was certain that I couldn't finish the entire bowl, at least not without severe intestinal repercussions. But, I knew that under no circumstance was I ever going to do this again so it's a one shot deal. The last bite went down about as smoothly as a pile of broken glass, but I made it. "

I'm sensing a new challenge for competitive eaters everywhere, not to mention the reason that iceberg lettuce is so vital to the wedge

We all know that Sarah loves the wedge, but she's not the only one. The cool, refreshing 1/4 head of iceberg lettuce slathered in creamy dressing is a favorite of many, but Lisa, of Restaurant Widow, was not a fan of the salad at all. Until recently, that is. She had this simply divine looking one while dining at the Brio Tuscan Grille in Columbus, OH. While the standard will often include nothing more than the lettuce and bleu cheese dressing, you can see that this one is dressed up with a bit of tomato, extra cheese and a generous serving of crispy, diced bacon. I don't think you'll need a recipe to try your hand at making this one at home, but you'll probably be able to track one down at a local steakhouse if you can't be bothered to put it together yourself.
