Nueske Applewood Smoked Bacon-The taste is nasty, my friend made it, taste just like a ashtray to me. Never want to taste it again.
Farmland/Carando Apple Cider Cured Bacon-To die for. The flavor is unbelieveable, so is the smell while you cook it.
Vande Rose Farms Artisan Dry-Cured Bacon-Taste is ok, but too salty for me. But smells good when cooking.

At those prices...I would never try those.
I get my bacon...along with all the smoked meat I use...from a local smoke house. They've been in business for years...and raise the meat they sell.

I've not tried any of those brands, Jake....but my breakfasts usually consist of eggs or an omelet......with bacon or sausage.....
Oscar Meyer......Can't go wrong.....It's just good---period......
But a brand that is a little cheaper than OM....and surprisingly good......is Gwaltney hickory-smoked bacon......That's not-too-bad-s--t, Sportsfans........for about $3.99/lb........OM usually runs the high $4s to the low $5s.........

Wright's Brand Bacon. Prob'ly available only in the south. Bought up by Tyson in 90s but still produced in Texas. One of few companies that actually hickory smoke rather than using "liquid" smoke. Very thick & meaty.

Farmland went belly up in 2002, but was bought out by Smithfield. They kept the name (and the Wallyworld contracts) even though they were arch competitors. Amazing back then that such a big co-op could go bankrupt, but not so uncommon nowadays.
