I really enjoy Mariscos El Bigaton, too!
That salsa negra on fresh seafood is so delicious.

Pitburger Teri burger it’s confusing because I’m used to having Teri burgers that come with a burger. This one just had beef slices, nevertheless it was delicious and will be returning and adding a burger patty next time.

Make an early morning trek. I know there is a breakfast bar at the Playa Vista WF… but it has limited hours… I just saw the sign noting the hours (I’m guessing some folks at 11am where like…“Where’s da bacon?”

I’ve literally gone to Brea Whole Foods at 8:30am and the bacon is gone and not to be refilled. I have literally zero proof and I’m pretty sure he lives no where near Brea but in my mind I always blame @Gr8pimpin

FWIW, Lazy Acres is part of Bristol Farms and they also have the hot food bacon bar set up that was only available in the mornings. I’m not sure if they’ve fully brought back everything but pre-pandemic, I used to work near the one on PCH and Artesia. We used to go in around 9 am and it would be fully stocked with fresh hot bacon. But after 10 they usually stopped refilling and get it ready to turn to lunchtime foods.

When I go into a Whole Foods and there’s no bacon at the bar, I blame me too.

Hopefully you score the posted hours are 7-11. But i was there around maybe like 840 and there was no bacon left and one piece of sausage. I asked the kitchen workers and they said they had no plans to refill bacon so I think wf is wise to the fact that ppl just go there and gorge the bacon lol.

Amazon does $1bn+ per day in sales. Give us some extra crispy bacon. It’s the least we deserve.

It really is the most inconsistent product on the planet. Sometimes they have the really thin stuff, some days thick. Some days I’ve gone it’s so crispy it crumbles in your mouth. Other days, limp.

They can certainly bring home the bacon. Now ask them to fry it up in a pan.

I was watching Bon Appetit a few days ago, and they said that, for best results, they bake it on a rack!!! I never make bacon, but it does make sense (and this method was totally new to me).

For years I used to bake it on a rack. It’s terrific. But I now bake it on a a foil or parchment lined baking sheet.
I like it better.

On the rare days they even have it at our local WF, it’s that really thin kind that’s not even cooked crisp and hardly worth eating – much like what used to be found in the cheapest breakfast buffets here in Vegas. We call it “tissue bacon”. Some years ago, before the party was over, WF served high-quality, thick, crispy bacon. I miss those days.
