Manny's apple smoked bacon

[al swearingen]

Manny's is a restaurant in MSP that makes the best bacon appetizer that I have ever had.  I've tried to replicate it,  but haven't had much luck.  Here is a picture of it,  has anyone made bacon thick (it's probably 3/4" thick) like this,  and how did you finish cooking it?  Thanks for any help!

WOW!!!...............................now that's a slice of bacon 

My left arm got numb just looking at it.

I usually slice my bacon very thin, I've never had it that thick before.

At 3/4" that's a steak! Looks really good though!

At the restaurant it is awesome,  at home I can't get it as tender and "cooked" all the way through like they do at the restaurant.

They may be Deep frying, then tossing on a hot griddle or grill.

I looked up the restaurant, from their website I get the impression that they do things the fancy way.

I'll bet that they cook it sous vide (inside a vacuum bag in a circulated water bath ) to get the super tenderness and then they crisp up the outside.


:sausage:

Yup pretty sure somthing like that than under the 1600* broiler, pic on there site shows insides are cooked before the outside gets it color.

Just a thought.........Do you think they smoke it cut to this size and then grill, broil, pressure cook or whatever they do to finish it off......

 

[scrappynadds]

No matter how they do it i want a piece and a pacemaker

 

[teeznuts]

I just want a bite.
