Where can I find Nueske's Bacon?

[ShanghaiSam]

Are there stores that carry Nueske's Applewood Smoked Bacon in Dallas? Other boutique bacons? Suggestions? I need the instant gratification of store-bought bacon rather than online-bought.

I will admit I have never had Nueske's bacon so I am not sure of the wow factor it posseses. I will say that I have had some good luck with bacons sold at local farmers markets. I am not sure of your flavor profile you are looking for Sam so I can't recommed one over the other. Some good purveyors though would be Oleo Acres and Sloan's Creek. On another note I sampled some of the Olde World Farms bacon from Montgomery, TX at the Bayou City Farmers Market in midtown Houston that was voted best of Houston and I would have to agree with them, very good product and you get a small slab so you can slice your own. Yes I do travel around Texas not all the time but when I visit family in Houston and Austin I make it a point to get as much out of the trip as I can, including visiting the Farmers Markets.

Here is another link from Robb Walsh.

You can always make mock smoked bacon by getting a pork belly and drizzling some Texas Olive Ranch Mesquite Olive Oil in the pan or rub it down with smoked sweet hungarian paprika.....just throwin ideas out there

I get it at CM all the time and have never had a problem finding the proper meat-to-fat ratio. It's yummy stuff!

i sympathize with the bacon jonesing...
but if order online from nueske's u get a lot more bacon for your money
the packaged ones we have in our local stores are a lot smaller typically not even half a pound...and usually 8-10 bucks...

but u order online u can get at least 2 pounds for only 20$ and with coupon codes for a free pound of bacon with any order
or any of the other coupons/codes they have...

u can get a better deal...
im on their email list..they send me stuff all the time...

2nd twinwillow. Just bought a package of the Nueske's $8.99 bacon at the CM on Lover's in Dallas. Middle,bottom of the packaged meat products over in the Meat section, not at the deli. I did not see it at the Plano store last time I was there. I looked for it at Whole Foods Coit and Preston/Forest this past holiday season and know for sure they don't carry it. Although, they had some wonderful Neiman Ranch applewood smoked ham slices about a 1/2" thick. Made great quiche! :)

Try Kuby's in Snyder Plaza for specialty bacon

[twinwillow]

Ditto, Kuby's.

[pinotho]

double ditto for Kuby's.

Jimmy's

Central Market (Dallas) for sure. However, you'll be lucky if you can find a package with a decent meat to fat ratio. Unless of course you prefer your bacon mostly fat. Look through all the packages in the case. Maybe you'll get lucky.

[ShanghaiSam]

Really? Every packet of Nueske's that I've purchased online has always been much leaner than regular supermarket bacon.

[twinwillow]

I'm just relaying the experience I've had with Nueske's bacon at CM. It's worth a try, for sure. Just go thru all the packages to find the one that's "just right" for you.
I do that with any bacon I buy.

Also worth noting at CM - they have whole slabs in the deli counter that you can get sliced to your desired thickness. I usually do this because I prefer a thicker bacon.
