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).
