Grease is the new black

Apparently, the new trend in food is greasy crap. Those of us from the south have been living in a futuristic culinary wonderland because the rest of the world seems to be taking to the idea of frying any damn thing possible or stuffing one food inside another like some demented matryoska doll made of chickens and corn dogs.

This trend began charmingly enough when people started putting bacon in everything. I love bacon. I like the scent. I like the texture whether it's crunchy or chewy. I think more things should taste like bacon. Example: vodka should taste like bacon. However, our cunning baconauts went into territory better not left discovered with the Bacon Explosion.

However, things have advanced well into a land of shit that even I won't eat. Maybe it's the economic downturn and the resulting desire for comfort food coupled with the good old American instincts of hoarding and oneupmanship. No matter what it is, you can view ground zero here at thisiswhyyourefat.com.

You know you are making a fantastic dish when the instructions start out: "To kick off the construction of this pork medley you’ll need to create a 5×5 bacon weave."

Somebody brought that thing to one of our potlucks at work. Everybody was rushing to get a big slice, but I stayed away. I think after all the bad shit that I've eaten, it seemed just a bit like tempting fate.
