Crispy bacon has one purpose, and that purpose is crumbling into bits for my baked potato skins.

@bonappetit The perfect piece of bacon when cooked properly would break into a million pieces when you drop it on the floor.

@bonappetit Combination of crisp and chewy. In restaurants, I have to order it crispy or it will arrive floppy and gross.

@bonappetit I need it browned but floppy

@bonappetit The best bacon is a mix of the two.

@bonappetit I need my bacon floppy

@bonappetit I always want it crispy. Even when I'm having a ridiculous overly bacon moment...

@bonappetit I like my bacon chewy

@bonappetit And fatty

@bonappetit I love Chef Andrés but he's wrong about this.
