Gimme, Gimme Superbowl and Bacon!

What could possibly be better Sunday, than sitting in front our television sets, watching the Superbowl and waiting for the most anticipated ad commercials of the year (this year with heavy advertising dollars being put towards going digital)?

How about serving a dish that would make a vegetarian cry! Well, not that I would want a vegetarian guest of mine to run out screaming and hollering, but you get the gist.

The ultimate meat dish. A serving full of oh-so-yummy, ultimate meatyness, named appropriately the Bacon Explosion. Definitely an attention grabber for the guys this year, this innovative recipe was spawned by creators Jason Day and Aaron Chronister, members of the competing barbecue team Burnt Finger BBQ. The recipe starts with layered strips of bacon resembling that of a woven quilt, then seasoned and topped with a thick layer of sausage. Lastly, bits of cooked bacon are sprinkled atop the sausage layer before being rolled up tightly and put into a backyard smoker.

This mammoth of a meaty dish gave me the same emotional feeling when I saw the famous "Turducken" recipe. That feeling of, "who is the mastermind behind this awesome creation?", as well as "wait... how many calories are in that?"

So, whether you are cheering for either the Cardinals or the Steelers this Sunday, make sure you've got some good food to serve. Because, hey, it could be a great conversation piece in the office Monday if your team loses.
