BREAKING BACON NEWS!
Yes, there sure is, and thanks to Alex and Gigi for passing the story along. But first…let’s not forget what time of year it is…
THE LOVEBURGER!
In the mood for love? I thought so…and what better way to show it than this perfectly shaped Valentine’s Day burger, just one of many crazy things happening between buns today!
Behold The “LOVEBURGER!”
It sure is, a nicely formed patty and bun that says “I love you!” And why not? There are worse things to do to a burger!
The World’s MOST EXPENSIVE Bacon Sandwich!
Like this for example! Here is the story that broke on The Huffington Post:
The Bacon Bling sandwich at Tangberry’s cafe in the resort town of Cheltenham in western England set a new record for the world’s most expensive bacon sandwich this past weekend, according to the World Record Academy.
The sandwich, which was invented by 41-year-old Tangberry’s owner Paul Philips, sells for a whopping £150, the equivalent, at Feb. 11 exchange rates, of $235. That 38 times as much as the second-most expensive bacon sandwich on the Tangberry’s menu.
The sandwich’s high price is justified, to some extent, by the expensive ingredients between the two halves of the roll. It includes, in addition to eggs and “rare breed bacon,” black truffles, truffle oil, gold leaf, gold dust and saffron, which the World Record Academy says cost a total of £50.
All proceeds from its sale will be donated to SKRUM, a non-profit organization that provides children in Swaziland social education using rugby.
So congrats to Tangberry’s for all of the press, and for the good cause! And of couirse to The Huffington Post, which has a great food section!
