Veteran Pork Store

Veteran Pork Store has been around for as long as I can remember. I grew up in this town, and a restaurant that I worked at in HS served their Double Smoked Slab Bacon!
It’s AMAZING. You can have them slice it as thin or as thick as you like. I usually go with ¼ to ½ inch thick slices. This is probably the best bacon I have ever eaten in my life.
The first preparation: done by Café Tamayo, was ½ inch rectangular chunks sauteed in a pan until the outside has a nice golden, crispy crunch to it. They would then let it cool and using it as a topping for their Beat, Orange, and Goat Cheese salad (also had some nice home made red cabbage on it).
The second preparation: I brought 2 lbs of this thick cut bacon on an annual camping trip, thinking it would make the most Bad Ass Bacon Egg & Cheese sandwich EVER…
Success… Got up early, built and nice fire and waited till the wood burned down to a nice bed of coals before laying these slabs on the steel grate. As the excess fat rendered off and dripped onto the hot coals, random flair ups caused flames to kiss, char, and smoke these little bites of heaven to a mouth watering goodness.
Served on a hard roll, with over easy eggs and manchengo cheese. (Next years version will include scallion with the eggs, and maybe a different cheese selection, O yeah and 1 lbs of bacon PP, ½ an lbs pp for a 3 day weekend was not enough)
I can’t speak on the rest of the items that this full service butcher offers. The display case looked like it was packed with all the necessary cuts to satisfy anyone. I’m sure I will get around to trying other things, but at the moment its all about the bacon.
