Had the namesake sandwich, an original "baco" which features crispy pork belly and beef gcarnitash as well as smoky aoili, greens, and a tomato/almond/parsley mixture known as salbitxada. Also got a side of potato salad with bacon, egg, and tarragon.

Pretty tasty stuff!

Looks pretty good... The potato salad looks a tad dry, though.

:hehe: HAHAHAHA. Yeah I see your point. It doesn't have as much mayo or whatever else they use to bind up the potatoes. It tasted good though.

I don't like mayo except with tuna fish so it looks good to me. :victory:

It was different because they threw in a variety of potatoes...fingerlings, yukon, purple, etc.

And because there wasn't too much egg you could taste the bacon even thought there wasn't much of it.

Pizza Is A Vegetable, Congress Says

WASHINGTON -- Who needs leafy greens and carrots when pizza and french fries will do?

In an effort many 9-year-olds will cheer, Congress wants pizza and french fries to stay on school lunch lines and is fighting the Obama administration's efforts to take unhealthy foods out of schools.

The final version of a spending bill released late Monday would unravel school lunch standards the Agriculture Department proposed earlier this year. These include limiting the use of potatoes on the lunch line, putting new restrictions on sodium and boosting the use of whole grains. The legislation would block or delay all of those efforts.

The bill also would allow tomato paste on pizzas to be counted as a vegetable, as it is now. USDA had wanted to only count a half-cup of tomato paste or more as a vegetable, and a serving of pizza has less than that.

Nutritionists say the whole effort is reminiscent of the Reagan administration's much-ridiculed attempt 30 years ago to classify ketchup as a vegetable to cut costs. This time around, food companies that produce frozen pizzas for schools, the salt industry and potato growers requested the changes and lobbied Congress.

School meals that are subsidized by the federal government must include a certain amount of vegetables, and USDA's proposal could have pushed pizza-makers and potato growers out of the school lunch business.

Santa Clara Man Gets Loaded on Meth, Skins and Eats a Bobcat

Tweakers do the craziest things! On Monday, Santa Clara's Henry Arnibal was charged for an impromptu, unlicensed hunting expedition that he made while high out of his gourd on meth. After cranking up on some crystal, Arnibal took a .22 caliber rifle, shot a bobcat, skinned it, and then ate it, according to The L.A. Times. Apparently, none of this was necessarily illegal, save for the fact that the methed up man didn't have the required license to down this big cat, an oversight that landed him in jail last week. Meth apparently isn't the man's only guilty pleasure, either, as authorities discovered 50 roosters and cockfighting spikes on his property, too. Arnibal explained that the bobcat had killed five of his birds, necessitating swift vengeance and no doubt, a fearsome marinade.

^ Let's see that on Barbecue University with Steve Raichlen... :beaten:
