I thought I'd start a new thread to update everyone on what's going on here.
There is a group out there who has gotten a lot of media attention for their version of a fattie they call "The Bacon Explosion". The Bacon Explosion actually has it's own wikipedia page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacon_Explosion
In this article (and a couple of others I found on the internet) it sources them as the "inventors" of this dish sometime around a year ago. I, and a few other SMF members, found this claim to be an injustice. Not only for those of us who have been creating them for a lot longer than that, but whoever actually did create this the first time.
So to sum things up, after some bantering back and forth with somebody at wikipedia I finally got the article changed to say...
The Bacon Explosion is similar to a number of previously published recipes, and Day and Chronister do not claim to have invented the concept.
You can read the entire "Bacon Explosion" wikipeda page here...

I tried to get http://www.smoking-meat.com/ and the SMF mentioned as proof that the fatty or fattie was invented long before a year ago. But alas I got what I was really after which was the admission that they did not invent this dish.
Thanks to everyone for their help and support. Especially to smokenmirrors for bringing it to our attention and to meathunter and DanMcG for helping me research some facts on this. Points to both of you. But more important than points we all get the satisfaction of protecting the fatty and it's actual inventor. We all tip our hat to you, whoever you are.
