Bacon. It's one of the few foods that is both salty and sweet at the same time, while also delivering an unrivalled dose of savory umami. It's practically all protein and fat, with many varieties welcomed by those following low-carbohydrate, paleo and keto diets. It's one of life's guilty pleasures and its popularity shows no signs of abating. And adding flavor to this satiating food increases its uses and applications. This is something Chef Peter Sherman, owner of BarBacon, New York City, knows well. He makes bacon the star, serving it in everything from appetizers to desserts. One of his originals is Kentucky Fried Bacon (KFB) Bites, which are bite-sized crispy pieces of battered thick-cut bacon served like chicken nuggets. The inch-long chunks are dusted in flour, dipped in egg and covered with panko crumbs. After deep frying, they are covered with Thai chili honey and served with house pickles.
