So…I posted about a Bacon Chicken Garlic Pizza we had in Walker MN last weekend, well, we tried to duplicate it last night.  Ours came out very close to what we had in Walker.  The best thing about ours was the garlic flavor didn’t over power the bacon flavor.

…couldn’t drag me away from this bacon lunch.

On a side street of Fargo’s fabulous re-gentrified Broadway, a new beer and burger joint occupies a narrow and deep space reminiscent of East Coast Irish Pubs. Named in memory of a legendary local proprietor, JL Beers offers over 50 brews and serves the best bar burgers since the good ol’ days of Gert burgers at Mick’s Office across the river. (Sorry Mick’s, but they have gotten too thin.)

Three co-workers and I made our way there through the recently deposited snow drifts in hopeful search of comfort food. We found solace not on the wall of beer taps, but ironically enough in the Humpty Dumpty; a thick juicy burger topped with cheese, a fried egg and BACON!!! You can’t go wrong with that fairy tale combination. But unlike the nursery rhyme, this Humpty Dumpty will be put together again, and again, and again and…

This video also comes from our friend Bobby V.  This is what happens when your drippings pan gets a little too hot.  Be careful kids, leave bacon explosions to the professionals.

This is the first bacon explosion performed by a BaconOrgy contributor.  This is the one that started the madness….lets call it Bacon Fever.  We haven’t been the same since that day.  Our thanks goes out to Bobby V.  Nice work!

This bacon explosion was built by Kevin G.  He stuffed his will all kinds of stuff. Looks pretty tasty!

This bacon explosion was done by our co-worker, John M.  That’s one of the best bacon weaves I think I’ve ever seen.  Nice work John!

Mrs. Baconninja found and cooked this recipe.  It turned out very well.  If anything it could use more bacon.  She doubled the recipe below so we would have leftovers.

This is what I did with the left over bacon from the bacon wrapped jalapenos the other night. I cut a slit in the brat and stuffed it with cheddar cheese, and then wrapped it with bacon. I cooked them indirect on the grill. Most of the cheese cooked out, but the brats were still very tasty. I topped the brat with some onions I cooked on the stove top with bacon grease.
