BACON BACON BACON BACON

What is the greatest meat in the world?
Sadly no it is not the rainbow flavored joy that comes in these cans, but rather the delicious concoction known as bacon.  The delicious cut of pork belly that has been flavored in some method goes great on just about everything and seems to find a place at every meal.  It is so good there is even an entire restaurant dedicated to it on the west side of Austin's downtown at 10th and Lamar.  Behold the beauty that is Bacon...


Even the door handles here are a homage to the magical meat...
Once you get past the overwhelming bacon theme (note I only provided a small sampling of the cult like decor ), you are forced to stare down an amazing breakfast menu featuring you guessed it, so let us dig in my friends.

First off, this place makes their own bacon, and yes that means it is amazing.  As you can see this day they had two choices of hickory or citrus BBQ so naturally we had to get a plate of both.
The hickory was rich and flavorful, but the star was the citrus BBQ, quite possibly some of the best bacon I have ever tasted in my life.  So good it even has me considering trying to make my own bacon some day just to replicate this flavor.
The favorite dish at the table was the Broken Yolk BLT, your standard BLT set up with a fried egg, between the amazing hickory bacon and the rich flavors of the egg this sandwich was awesome to say the least.
This was the special for the day, the Croque Madame, which was basically an open faced BLT topped with a fried egg, and smothered in a bechamel sauce.  This was not the best dish, basically should have stuck with something different but once again with this awesome of bacon it is hard to make a bad dish.
Behold, the chicken & bacon waffles, yes those are thick waffles with pieces of bacon inside of the rich batter.  Of course it only makes sense to top it off with a piece of battered chicken breast.  Sure it sounds completely crazy, but it is awesome, and once again I am sure it is healthy.
The icing on this awesome cake made of bacon is the soda fountain, housed with old fashioned sodas like Big Red, Dublin Dr Pepper, and Maine Root sodas that are quite frankly amazing.

Basically, if you love bacon you need to get to Bacon, it really could not be much simpler than that.
