Everything is better with bacon, right? So, how about getting rid of that ridiculous "hamburger" part and making the whole entree with bacon? Genius idea!

ABCNEWS.GO.COM reports:
Slater’s 50/50, a California chain made famous for its half-bacon, half-beef burger, has gone bacon-crazy. The ‘Merica, the restaurant’s July burger of the month, is a 100 percent ground bacon burger topped with more bacon, a sunny-side-up egg, bacon island dressing and bacon cheddar cheese. The concept for Slater’s 50/50 Burgers by Design came out of a dare at a Charger’s tailgate party between owner Scott Slater and some of his San Diego State University buddies. Could a 100 percent ground bacon burger work?

    bacon's ok but when it's just toppled on top of a whole lot of other stuff, that just gets gross

    WANT! Bacon is actually healthy if eaten in moderation. I can eat bacon and still be healthy :)

    Many people are very misinformed about eating healthy. They forget that the only reason they can't eat things that are fatty is because they don't do enough natural exercises. The gym can only do so much with it's repetitive motions. And when most people work for so many hours and the rest of their time is occupied with family and such, there is no time for them to be healthy so they have to compensate by practically starving their body, working out more than they should. I eat things like ice cream and bacon, I also eat lots of fruit and veggies. If it comes in a package and the ingredients aren't things that come from the earth, then I don't eat it. I also do basic exercises, running, walking, stretching, lifting, jumping, obstacle courses, etc. I've lost 30 pounds in the past 4 months because I kicked it up a notch.

    Agreed.
    I'd like to say more to support your excellent points, but my brain just 'jammed' on me.
    Too many storyline/character ideas in my head right now for writing later on.
    But yes, you make some excellent, factual points. *2 Thmbs up*

    Best thing to cook your steak with is a little bacon grease. Increases the flavor of the beef nicely and helps it stay nice and juicy. Better on a flame grill than a pan or griddle.

    I love bacon so this sounds good. A half-bacon, half-beef burger sounds delicious. So why not try the 100% ground bacon burger topped with an egg and bacon cheddar cheese. If you love bacon, this just might be a wow!

    So it is basically a pork burger with bacon and an egg on top? I think the Island dressing and bacon cheddar cheese is what over does it.

    It'd be interesting to try, like one split 4 ways, like a sampler...

    Here's a thought...slice it thin, after cooking, and use it as bacon-topping on veggie burgers...just a random thought...one slice per burger...

    Do USians worship food? What the fsck is wrong with some people. Obesity and ill-health should not be considered a valid lifestyle choice.

    Stomach produces Hydrochloric acid, and such are the reasons why, evolutionarily-speaking. Kill critters/pathogens and also act as a digestive function-element. The strength of stomach acid is actually very surprisingly high.

    What has that got to do with my post. I was simply responding to simplex5 and a statement about meat having worms.
