I Heart Bacon by Susie Simpkins, Dahlia Server

The Grateful Palate is a beautiful, exciting catalog- a fun read.  They offer all kinds of things, but  especially bacon and they’re famous for their “Bacon of the Month” club.  Several years ago, I had a bad, sad year.  My co-workers at Dahlia pitched in together and bought me a full year of Grateful Palate’s Bacon of the Month Club. That’s an amazing, expensive gift.

Dan Philips is the founder of The Grateful Palate.  Once, we were hosting a party at Dahlia that he was invited to and I knew I was going to wait on him.  For me it was like meeting Michael Jordan; I got overheated and sweaty at the thought of it.  I got special permission from management to wear my Grateful Palate bacon t-shirt the night I waited on him.  He was charming and nice (and married.)

Anyway, you can order a couple pounds of bacon, or a couple months, or go whole hog and get the whole year, so take a look at their website.
