ALL I WANT FOR (INSERT JEWISH HOLIDAY) IS BACON JELLY BEANS

There are Bacon Mints, Gummy Bacon, and hundreds of other bacon-flavored candy products...but for some reason, these seem like they would be the best. I think one of you out there should buy them for your favorite BaconJew.

KOSHER KLOTHING

Time for a little self-promotion here. A lot of the inspiration for BaconJew came from a shirt I designed a few years ago under my t-shirt line, KOSHER KLOTHING. Believe it or not, I actually have the word "Kosher" trademarked for use on clothing - imagine that! Well, I just redesigned the site and launched a new Ebay store, so head over to the site and support...and remember to "Mix Your Milk And Your Meat"!

CELEBRATE THE KENTUCKY DERBY WITH BACON MINT JULEPS

In celebration of the Kentucky Derby tomorrow afternoon, I've combined a couple of recipes to bring you the "Bacon Mint Julep"

First off, you need to make Don Lee of PDT's Bacon-Infused Bourbon:
-Take 3 or 4 slices bacon, or enough to render 1 ounce of fat (PDT uses Benton’s, but any extra-smoky variety will do)
-Cook bacon in pan and reserve rendered fat.
-When bacon fat has cooled a bit, pour off one ounce from pan.
-Pour bourbon into a non-porous container.
-Strain the bacon fat into the container and infuse for 4 to 6 hours at room temperature.
-Place mixture in freezer until all the fat is solidified.
-With a slotted spoon, remove fat and strain mixture into a 750ml bottle of bourbon such as Four Roses.




Next, take the finished Bacon-Infused Bourbon, and use it in the following recipe:

Ingredients
-10 mint leaves, plus a sprig for garnish
-1 1/2 teaspoons superfine sugar
-Seltzer water
-Crushed ice
-2 1/2 ounces Bacon-infused bourbon

Directions
-Place the mint leaves in the bottom of an old-fashioned glass and top with the sugar.
-Muddle these together until the leaves begin to break down.
-Add a splash of seltzer water, fill the glass 3/4 full with crushed ice, and add the bourbon.
-Top with another splash of seltzer, stir, and garnish with a sprig of mint.
-Serve immediately.
-Lather. Rinse. Repeat!

PARK SLOPE PORK OFF - SUN MAY 3RD

This Sunday 5/3 in Park Slope (that's Brooklyn for those of you not in NY), there will be the first ever "Pork Off" featuring over 21 chefs making all things pork!

This is a food competition fundraiser for Kamay at Puso (Hand and Heart), a nonprofit that assists survivors of toxic waste in Madapdap, Philippines.

The only rule they have is "make a recipe with pork in it. Bacon, snout, tail, hoof, ham, hock, whatever! Extra points from me if you make a dessert. (And if you use fakin’ bacon, you best fool us but good.)"

Check the flyer below or visit their website HERE for more information!
