From the bacon marshmallows at Perbacco (230 California) to the maple bacon donuts at Dynamo (2760 24th St.), bacon continues to be a favorite ingredient to play with for experimental chefs of all stripes. And just when we think we couldn't handle another bite of the stuff, California Culinary Academy instructor and pro pastry chef Lori Baker hits us with meaty chunks of bacon peanut brittle. Caramelized to shatter just like the sugar does, it's a blurry blend that is supposed to be wrong, but tastes so right. This odd treat is $6 and available at Humphry Slocombe (2790A Harrison).
