Cat AND bacon lovers, you no longer need to find separate outlets for your life's passions! Cat parents, you know how it goes: Once you've solved the problem of where to put the kitty litter box in your house, you've also got to deal with the (proportional) issue of kitty litter box odor. more ›

Imagine you could only choose one: Sex or Bacon? OMG. Noooooo! Why would we have to live in a world where we have to choose? Well, we don't. Two words, one product: Bacon Lube. more ›

Here piggy piggies, we've got some news for you: The price of bacon could potentially skyrocket. You may have already noticed it the last time you were trolling the meat aisle for your slab of choice. "The price of pork is giving many consumers sticker shock at the supermarket, where bacon prices alone have jumped at least 30 percent in recent weeks," explains CBS2. more ›

Yesterday we coughed up our Top 19 Costume Predictions For Halloween 2010, but that doesn't mean you can't revisit some classic looks too. Check out this photo inspiration from the ghosts of Halloween past. more ›

Do we even need to tell you that bacon is one of the most prolific "it" foods these days? Never mind that it draws a fatty, porcine line based on dietary restrictions--we talk about bacon, we read about bacon, we ogle pictures of bacon, and, yes--oh yes, yes--we eat bacon. more ›

One of the amazing parts of living in Los Angeles is the access to fresh and locally grown food. From vegan to everything else, a plethora of healthy eats can be found throughout the region. But Los Angeles has another obsession... and that's bacon. From the classic streetside bacon-wrapped hot dogs to even bacon-wrapped matzo balls and, yes, bacon-wrapped... bacon. more ›

As the warm afternoon light gave way to the cooler notes of evening just steps away from the Pacific Ocean last Thursday night, Los Angeles' top chefs of today and tomorrow gathered in celebration of the city's finest food. The StarChefs annual Rising Stars event gave the recognized masters from local restaurants the chance to raise their glasses in honor of their proteges--and the next wave of talent cresting on our own shore. more ›

Before you gas up the car and hit the I-5 to head to Knott's Berry Farm, we have to tell you up front that the Bacon Chocolate Funnel Cake was a one-time thing. But for super fans of the OC theme park who attended Sunday's West Coast Bash, the bacon chocolate funnel cake was a real treat to have, behold, and eat, explains the OC Register. Knott's asked via Twitter what kind of funnel cake the super fans wanted, and bacon with chocolate was the winner. One fan posed with his special treat, and posted the pic on Knott's Facebook fan page. How was it? "It was awesome!" more ›

We've seen this before--bacon scrawled on some wall or object on the street--and it makes us wonder if this is some performance artist mocking or making a comment on taggers who take their work so seriously they're willing to kill over it. Tagging, "bacon!" or otherwise, is bad for neighborhoods and the city economy (perhaps you could say it's good for cultural/political debate if done right), but real bacon is something Angelenos are willing to have a heart attack for. more ›

Is Mike Nelson a certifiable nutcase, or a dietary genius? more ›

Leave it to our friends to the north of us in San Francisco to come up with a confection that might leave some of you gobsmacked, and the rest of you drooling. If your life revolves around all things bacon, you might have to put your order in for Lollyphile's Maple-Bacon lollipop. They say:

While we admit that it's pretty far from the norm (it's definitely not kosher!), once you make that initial leap of faith and try it out, we're positive that you'll love it. The salty chunks of bacon make a delicious and unique counterpoint to the subtle sweetness of the maple, and oh, yeah- you'll be eating an oh-my-god bacon lollipop!

It took two words to get me to try Downtown's Nickel Diner for breakfast: Bacon Donut. more ›

The LA Times Food section embarks on a perilous and ambitious project today: collecting 1,001 recipes featuring that porky product most commonly known as bacon (less commonly known as "Taste Explosion Happy Fat Yummy Time!" and "Vegetarians, Weep"). Why bacon? Well, apparently because "bacon works so well in so many dishes, from soups and salads to chili and stuffed pork chops". Uh, yeah guys: is a pig's pussy pork? Anyway, so far the list is only five items long, but includes such creative (if questionable) items as a Candied Bacon Martini (ew?) and a roasted potato salad (that's definitely more my steez). They're welcoming comments and suggestions from readers, so head on over and school those fools on how to add some dazzle to your dinner. more ›

Did you skip breakfast this morning? (Shame on you if you did!) Or maybe that Starbucks scone/protein bar/power smoothie/leftover cold pizza left something to be desired. Perhaps this enticing croissant sandwich found by LAist Featured Photos pool contributor pink_fish13 can remind you of how good breakfast can be. (And, well, okay, how incredibly rich and buttery and grease-laden it can be too...croissants are basically pure butter and, yes, there appears to be bacon in between that egg and cheese goodness.) more ›

Yup, one week after the big police bust, they're back (first three photos). more ›

Last Sunday there was a memorial service for beloved Sunset Junction mainstay, Bingo. If you’ve ever been on Sunset between Sanborn and Hyperion, you’ve surely enjoyed the super wiener-dog of all time strutting his stuff; greeting shoppers and friends at Pull My Daisy – the store belonging to his supercool owner, Sarah, or satisfying his legendary love of bacon just outside Eatwell. more ›

The anticipated LA MILL COFFEE boutique opened this morning in Silver Lake on its eponymous boulevard between Sunset and the Reservoir (they close at 6 p.m. tonight and are only serving bar drinks and clovers until then). Eater LA takes in the decor: "Custom-made French wallpaper, faux crocodile, ostrich and sharkskin chairs in dark teal, sky blue and red, black Lucite tables. A dramatic brass chandelier hangs in the main room." Definitely not a place safe for vegans. Actually, the menu isn't either. more ›

You know what I hate? Birthday cake. I've hated it for years. In fact, I really don't remember a time that I DID enjoy birthday cake, or any kind of layered cake with that icky sugar icing and stupid tasteless sugar sprinkles. Problem is, I don't really like pie either. Or pastries, or muffins, or chocolate-anything (maybe a bite of dark chocolate every now and then). When I get ice cream, I usually get... more ›

Just about every major sports media outlet hands out grades or rankings with some clever theme. Since the USC Trojans are pretty well covered on the field, somebody needed to asses the game day experience for fans. Here’s a look at Saturday's USC vs. Washington matchup through the lens of everybody’s favorite spaghetti western (Troy is, after all, a film powerhouse). Food/Beverage GOOD: Push-carts always sell bacon-wrapped hot dogs outside the Coliseum gates, and... more ›
