Bacon! Bacon! Bacon!

A pretty picture, isn't it? Man and woman over open flame, aglow with the knowledge that they will soon be eating the world's most perfect food: bacon.

Many strive to do their best by these luscious strips of swine, but it took Smith Street's Clover Club and its new brunch menu to finally do it justice -- with a Bacon Tasting that could make a holier-than-thou vegan convert with glee...

Crisp Duck Bacon is followed by zesty Pepper Bacon, succeeded in turn by thick, sweet slabs of Maple Bacon. Served atop toasts dabbed with bacon grease, it is the ultimate, hedonistic, artery-clogging meal.

Order up one of Clover Club's first-rate cocktails to wash it all down and simply claim that the "devil made me do it."

Vice has never tasted so good.
