Cloudy with a Chance of Bacon?

I'm back at the skillet after another week where I wasn't able to fulfill my bacon-y duties.

But it was a bacon-y week for me. I went to see Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs with my son one snowy night. Great film by Sony Pictures Imageworks (Hi Chris H!) and it was a real treasure to see the beautiful scene of bacon falling from the sky. I hope to have that dream over and over again.

After the movie we went to Johnny Rockets for dinner, and I ordered the single (not double -- no need to be a pig!) bacon burger, hold the thousand island sause. Maybe I'm weird, but if I order a bacon burger, I want to taste the bacon, not some salad dressing. When our order finally arrived, the waitress (who had taken our order verbally, and not written ANY of it down) had managed to screw up all three entrees. My son's hot dog had mustard on it (unlike my love for it, he hates it and had ordered it NO mustard), my wife's burger had a side of fries instead of the salad she asked for and my bacon burger was slathered with -- you guessed it -- thousand island.

My wife started eating her burger while my son's meal and mine were sent back to be made afresh. you can't really just wipe mustard or thousand island off of an entree.

When my burger came back the second time, it was made correctly. But, ihave to say, I would not order the bacon burger again. It was typical lifeless fast-food bacon. no discernible texture and little flavor. If I hadn't known it was a bacon burger, I probably would not have realized it was there. And the burger itself was not up to par. The bacon single is a $9 burger (with fries). But, the burger was bland and uninspiring, like your typical $2-$3 fast food burger. I've had a better bacon burger at a fast food joint for a lot less.

Still looking for a good bacon burger.
