This stuff is really, really, really good. Thick slices, smokey, delicious.

Discuss.

This will be my next purchase from Trader Joe's:

Ever tried the pre-cooked? The idea of it sort of creeps me out

It's good. I prefer Whole Foods but not much bacon I'll pass up. It goes bad quick so keep it cold. Freezes well.

The bacon on the breakfast bar at WF is awesome.

Cool. Although I'm surprised to see you in a bacon thread.

the fact that it was paired with TJ's helped.
I like to hear people's opinions on things especially if it's something I don't necessarily want to taste.

I buy those uncured ends and pieces every visit. It's the best deal in bacon. $2.99 for a full pound of very premium bacon. It may be the best bacon I've ever bought.

I was also nonplussed with his/her name in the thread. My head went to the Exorcist head spinny reaction.

The guy that supervises all of TJ's build outs is a patient of my practice and he told me it is to be built in half of an old Office Max location.

If you know where that is in Metairie; there's your answer for the new TJ location.

I know that I'll get attacked by the TJ's cult but.....

That place is over rated as frick and is full of weird shite that only a handful of people rave about to aggravating levels and the other 98% of the population says "that place is wall to wall full I weird shite and weird people".

I have one right down the road, went once and bought several things that looked interesting. Not a single one was worth a shite and all tasted like hippie inspired food.

I will never go back again.

I'm with you Stink. When I lived in NYC people used to go fricking nuts over the place. Finally caved and visited one once. Nothing special at all about the place .. expensive and packed as shite. I don't get a hard on over snack-type foods, like chocolate covered almonds and other such nonsense.
