Did anyone see Michael Symon make chocolate covered bacon on "Dinner Impossible"? Everyone who tried it said it was just awesome! So being those are two of my favorite foods
I have to try it.

I saw that. I like bacon and chocolate. But together??? I just don't know.

This is not too weird but I enjoy peanut butter and bananas.

Have any of you heard of a Lutherburger? Looks totally disgusting to me, but I know people who have tried it, and say its delicious. *barf*

What's a Lutherburger? No it's not something invented by anyone with cholesterol issues, that's for sure! Evidently in 2006, the Gateway Grizzlies baseball team of Sauget, Illinois began selling this donut-based burger under the name "Baseball's Best Burger". It's actually a hamburger patty topped with sharp cheddar cheese and two slices of bacon with a sliced Krispy Kreme Original Glazed doughnut in place of a typical bun. Check out the link below. Would you eat one? I sure wouldn't!!

I love me some peanut butter and banana sandwiches. I also love pears with mayo and shredded cheese on top.

Bacons frying in the oven and chocolate is on a double boiler. I can't wait to make this!

I would think the sweetness of the chocolate and the saltiness of the bacon would complement each other.

We love prociutto crudo (smoked dry-cured ham) and melon. It is that same salt/sweet combination.

So what did you do... Smear chocolate over the bacon? Or just dip the bacon in the chocolate.
