Craig, I read elsewhere that you made some bacon using BC's recipe -- would you have a link to that? I've read enough to where I think I'll do fine - but if you...
Hi all,
I live in Gainesville, GA and am trying to find a place local to buy Pork Belly but so far have had no luck. I'd like to avoid driving in to Atlanta if I can (moved up here to get away from those 20 mile 2 hour commutes)!
