Bacon, bacon, bacon

Bigus Edicus sent the dudes a good article concerning artisanal bacon. Porthos, Athos, and I love our pork products dearly. However, I'm ashamed that I really don't know much about artisanal bacon. Guanciale and pancetta I've played with many a time, but after reading this article I definitely need to give bacon a thorough analysis. The article is a good place to start, naming some of the quality producers out there. Don't worry my friends...we dudes will have a side by side test soon :)
