Bacon-licious

Bacon is such a guilty pleasure. It's loaded with salt and fat...but man is it tasty! Someone had told me that Denny's was having a bacon special so obviously my friend and I had to check it out!

How can you resist a menu that looks like this? Seriously! I reached right for it after they seated us in the booth. This was one seriously bacon loaded menu. Every dish featured bacon: some made it the main attraction, other dishes kept it more subtle.

But you know what's not subtle? A bacon sundae!

Yes I know what you're thinking. I used to think it too: why would you put bacon in a sundae? That's just gross. Except it's NOT gross! Of course this is coming from the girl who used to dip her french fries into ice cream, yum! Sweet and savoury is a masterful combination.

The sundae began with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This was then covered with a layer of maple syrup. Then real bacon, not that fake stuff they put on salads, was crumbled and sprinkled onto the syrup. This was followed by another layer of ice cream, another layer of syrup and even more bacon! I will be honest, I was a little hesitant before I took my first bite but after that first bite, I couldn't imagine life without a bacon sundae.

That is why my life has now been split up into "pre-bacon sundae" and "post-bacon sundae". I don't think I would eat it too often, my arteries are clogged enough as it is, but it's definitely something every human being should experience at least once. Next up for me? Where's that bacon donut...
