14 Bacons, 1 Sandwich, All Kinds of Awesome
Posted by Gerri on August 10, 2009 · 27 Comments
So, the other day some guy decided to make me jealous by getting extra bacon x10 on his Subway turkey melt. He knows I love bacon – I mean, who doesn’t? He also knows that the turkey melt is my favorite sandwich. He had this delicious sandwich for lunch that day while I had cereal, my other favorite food. I couldn’t stop thinking about all that bacon though, so I talked to my sister about it. She happens to run a restaurant and decided to hook me up.
All day today I kept getting these images e-mailed to me from Wendy’s phone. She’s quite artistic and obviously has bacon on the brain like the rest of us.
Om nom nom nom… seriously, that’s all I can say about this picture.
And here we have the pig with a black olive eye, lovingly crafted from strips of delicious bacon. Wendy, I sure hope you didn’t try to feed me something a black olive touched. You know I hate those things.
When I saw this, I really couldn’t comprehend that much bacon going on one sandwich. I didn’t know if I might be hallucinating or having an extremely good dream or if she was cooking enough bacon for a small army. I just didn’t know. I hoped it wasn’t a cruel joke.
It wasn’t a joke. This was my dinner. I ate half and showed the loser the pictures while I gloated over my 14 bacons on one sandwich. It was truly a masterpiece. I mean, usually we don’t photograph food unless it’s one of the disaster cakes Wendy likes to make for special occasions. 14 bacons on one sandwich was a special occasion in and of itself and I’m glad there are pictures to document this wonderful experience.
I ate half and saved the other part. Then later, I finished the whole damn thing. Tomorrow might be rough, but it was worth every bite.
14 bacons takes the title in the Bacon Cup, as it breaks Jason’s lame record of only 10 extra bacons. Plus, to add insult to injury, I didn’t even have to pay for this – it was a gift from my sister. So, I’m throwing down the gauntlet, issuing a challenge. If you think you can beat 14 bacons, go ahead and try it. You have to eat the whole thing and there needs to be proof of a more magnificent sandwich than this, if it exists. I don’t believe it does. I’m pretty sure I’ll hold the title for quite a while.
I love the pig!
I’ll have you know that I read this while eating a LIGHT YOGURT. I also hyff.
Oh yeah, you ate the bacon that touched the olive. Glad to hear it was delicious!
You gotta sleep sometime.
I can’t help it that your sister’s job… well.. I won’t go there. Enjoy your yogurt.
It made me lol.. and drool.
You know, you have the beginnings of a whole new blog here. Thisnk of all the blogs out there and none is about “Fun with Bacon.”
Just the smellof bacon makes my stomach grumble. How can something so good be bad for you.
I seriously should not have eaten it. It was fun, most certainly delicious and I’ll be proud about holding the title and all, but I don’t think this is something I could do again.

That’s enough bacon to make Kermit The Frog pop a boner, fercrissakes.
Bacon is the best. Just ask Kevin Bacon. If his name was Kevin Smith or Kevin Klein, no one would care, but when you mention the word BACON, everybody loves it!
Bacon! Can’t get enough of it’s greasy goodness. Eat enough and you become the Baconator! Lookout swine flu! The Baconator is here!!!!
Even those lil bits of bacon…(drools) bits of bacon are like the fairy dust of the food community. “You don’t want this baked potato? BAM! Now it’s your favorite part of the meal. Not interested in the salad? ADD BACON! You just turned salad into an entree! HAIL BACON! But once you put bacon in a salad, it’s no longer a salad. It just becomes a game of ‘find the bacon in the lettuce’. It’s like you’re panning for gold. Eureka! I just found some BACON! HOLY KRAP.
I bet if you put bits of bacon on a strip of bacon, you could travel back in time. It’s like a tasty vortex.
14 bacons and 1 sandwich…shoot. MAKE THAT A DOUBLE ORDER OF BACON AND HOLD THE TURKEY.
Please call the Emergency Room in dvance…I think The Baconator will be having a MASSIVE coronary today.
Hey, comedians are just real hams. Aren’t they? K thx bye!

The swine arrangement was really hilarious. I bet if i had somebody like Jason and Wendy to cook for me
I will never have regretful mornings, evenings and nights. This post actually made my day glad and increased my appetite. LOL yes and I am heading for a quick bite.

Wow! That’s what I call breakfast!!
Whoa! Not only does that probably beat sandwich records, but it blows all sanity checks too
bacon art rulz!
so very hilarious
and i like bakon at the morning with eggs
so délicious
but for the dinner i think it ’s too much, no
Just had to say great post! Enjoyed reading it. I don’t comment much, but just had to say, “Although it’s bad for us…I love bacon too!” btw…Luv pig pic. lol.
My mouth literally started to water as I imagined myself eating it…
Beat 14 bacons? You must be joking!! I think your record will be safe for a very longtime. That’s just ridiculous. Don’t get me wrong, I like to pig-out from time to time, but 14 fatty, juicy bacons… my heart just stopped thinking just about it. However, I might give it a go sometime… maybe.
wow.. i would like to eat something now NOM NOM

Oh yum,. now I have a craving for bacon. I love the pig made of bacon.
Yum bacon!!!!! I also love your bacon creations. Gives me an idea for my bacon loving son’s birthday.
That is awsome, I love bacon maybe not that much. The subway bacon can be a bit suspect.
