I guess you could call me a craft beer enthusiast… as in, I’m enthused about drinking delicious beers and lots of them. Not usually all in one setting, but occasionally I over-serve myself. Usually when this happens, I’m out at a bar. I can tell you exactly how it goes down. Around the time I…
When I started Bacon & Legs, I was more of a pun fan than a bacon fan. Sure, I loved it. Who doesn’t? ESPECIALLY recovering vegetarians. It was a remarkable treat. But the blog was more or less about fun comfort food with some wit. A few years later and bacon has woven itself into…
There’s this up-and-coming actor… he’s hardly done a thing. Totally untalented. He’s a little homely. He has no charm, what-so-ever. He has this terrible British accent. People have a really hard time rooting for him. You probably haven’t even heard his name. It’s Beneduck Cucumberpatch. Or… something like that. Regardless, I see something in him…
This world has a long history of pig-and-cheese sandwiches. The most famous, I’m sure, is the croque monsieur: a French grilled ham and cheese topped with béchamel. England has their toasties.

In case you don’t have your Christmas dinner planned… I have ya covered. This super simple and delicious dish is fancy enough for guests and easy enough that you don’t have to spend your whole holiday in the kitchen. Plus there is lots and lots of piggy in it. Merry Oinksmas! Porky Tenderloin and Porky…
I completely wanted to make this as a joke. I love pumpkin spice, but it’s becoming so popular that the act of hating it is becoming even more popular. But… hot damn. Pumpkin spice candied bacon is autumn heaven in pork form. I used Southern Tier Warlock (a pumpkin imperial stout that has a great balance of…
Perhaps my favorite fall flavor combo is sage and butternut squash. Following this blog might result in a bit of overkill with it. Too bad, deal with it! Here, we have a classic chicken pot pie… that has an amazing punch from black forest bacon… then the warm flavors of butternut squash and sage crisped…
Beer!? For Breakfast!? I don’t know about you guys, but when I’m enjoying a nice little dessert from my childhood, the one thing that comes to mind is: “man, this could use some beer and bacon.” Am I alone here? I didn’t think so. Let’s take our childhood favorite add just that. Bacon, candied in…
