And the non-bacon items: sous vide strawberry and rhubarb compote. Fantastic plate.
But wait…that’s not all…the last pairing is below, and it was an awesome touch.
If the picture looks a bit grainy, I think it represents the mind-fuzz of everyone at the Bacon Heart Attack Dinner at that point. Wonderfully grainy-headed.
For the opening act of Subculture Dining’s “Bacon Heart Attack Dinner,” the Dissident Chef and his crew offered bacon-infused martinis made with Hangar One Vodka. Amazing. The mini martinis were smoky, cold, crisp; a compelling ‘eye-opener’ for a bacon dinner. They were paired with sweet donut balls rolled in pulverized bacon & sugar, quite an aperitif and amuse-bouche combo.
The bacon vodka aperitif was paired with bacon-brown-sugar donuts, served on a platter of woven bacon. The bacon was crushed with brown sugar and the hot little donuts were rolled in it. This was a great opening act for the Bacon Heart Attack Dinner. Whatever was to happen after this, I was aboard. A great start.
The photo above are the donuts in progress, tossed in the bowl. The photo below is the final presentation of donut balls, which sat atop a woven bacon napkin atop a small platter.
