ny bacon

I love bacon. In all its incarnations. Again proving that I love anything unhealthy, practically. It's a good thing that I like healthy stuff too.

Anyway, you lucky New Yorkers out there should try this restaurant and tell me what it's like.

The first thing you notice about Char No. 4 is the smell. It's an aroma you could eat with a spoon—smoky, full-bodied, and porky. It turns out that the chef makes his own bacon, and, consequently, the entire place smells like the inside of a smoker. Even after you leave, the smoke clings to you; when I got home, my dog tried to eat me.
