I'm tired of getting expensive bacon that is mostly fat that I buy at the usual upscale markets like Draeger's & Schaub's. I want a more meaty version than what they sell. Any ideas out there?

I went and I still can't get that delicious smokey smell out of my head! Since you came up with this great suggestion, who is your choice (if you have one) for great Porterhouse steaks??

If you're not familiar with MSF, they produce grass fed local beef, if that interests you. Here is a link to them. www.marinsunfarms.com Mon Jul 20 06:13:08 -0700 2009 4872168 130031 Shane Greenwood 3 4880661 Don't do steak very often but when the craving hits I go to Andronico's at Stanford. My steak of choice is a bone-in rib - love to lightly coat with olive oil and fresh cracked black peppercorns - then on the grill. Yum!

Over in Oakland Ver Brugge Meat and Seafood has great bacon. Both are quite a bit meatier than supermarket bacon (which the Ver Brugge bacon sometimes having very very little fat).
