Bacon and Pork Belly seemed to become a thing a while ago... remember bacon jam? Remember Denny's coming out with an ice cream sundae topped with bacon and bacon jam? Yeah - you would of thought that would of been the nail in the coffin for this trend but it wasn't.

Now, lets be clear. I enjoy bacon and I do use pork belly in some dishes. But what I do not do is take them to stupid extremes for absolute no reason than to get peoples attention. It has its place and its uses and for fucks sake, stop coating it in massive amounts of sugar and bbq sauce and then simmering it in an aluminum pan on your pit/smoker/grill... whatever you want to call it.
