BACON BITS

HARDEE'S FRISCO BURGER WAS A GAME-CHANGER FOR BACON.
Bacon took a beating in the 1980s, when dieting trends took aim at saturated fats and cholesterol. By the '90s, though, Americans were ready to indulge again. Hardee’s Frisco Burger, one of the first fast-food burgers served with bacon, came out in 1992 and was a hit. It revived bacon as an ingredient, and convinced other fast-food companies to bacon-ize their burgers. Bloomberg called it the Frisco Burger "a momentous event for fast food, and bacon’s fate, in America."

I was born in 1981. Bacon was a staple of my youth. A variety of family members had friends or farms nearby and always made sure we had fresh bacon.
These days I'm very particular about bacon I pay for at a restaurant. Most of it is overpriced and terrible quality. I'm always looking for new bacon options but my favorite ones are usually thick or cubed and coated in a spicy rub (like cayenne or chili powder) along with some form of sugar (brown sugar or syrups are common).
