You may have missed the best Father’s Day event in Central Florida – so get on the ball and secure your plans for next year!!!
Bacon Off Orlando pitted two of Orlando’s favorite food trucks neck-to-neck in a bacon cook off. Think Top Chef Style with the Big Wheel Truck facing the C&S Brisket Bus.
Each truck made four different bacon items:
- Best Original Bacon
- Best Novelty Bacon
- Best Bacon Side
- Best Bacon Product
So basically – you go to each truck and get the sample platter – then vote for your favorite while your in bacon coma.
First up – the Big Wheel Truck. We had some awesome bacon, a short-rib bacon, bacon dip and bacon polenta.
I’ve learned that it’s very hard for me to judge bacon because it’s all just so good. I was surprised by how much I like the polenta. And the bacon dip. It could have come with a few more crackers. But I loved it so much I spent the afternoon looking for different things I could dip into it. The original bacon was the perfect consistency for me – not too hard, not to soft – just melts in your mouth.
Then it was time to try the Brisket Bus.
So we had original bacon – but it was infused with root beer.
Then a buffalo wing, also bacon sauced. A bacon corn bread and bacon jelly bruschetta.
My youngest loved the buffalo wing so much he demanded more – but that wasn’t possible.
The corn bread was delicious – I was really impressed also by the bruschetta.
It’s simply amazing what you can do with bacon!!!
Not only was there bacon – but also beer, music and an all-you-can-eat buffet! I have to mention I also had some of the best brownies of my life. The Batter Bowl truck was selling additional items, including a salted caramel bacon infused brownie. Yes, it was as amazing as it sounds
It was a perfect Father’s Day event for the whole family! Next time – we need to wear some good bacon-related clothing to really blend in!!
