Frisee Aux Lardons

This is one of my favorite things to get when eating out at a nice neighborhood bistro.

Look, it might be a salad, but there is nothing light or delicate about this dish. Look at those chunks of bacon for god sakes.

Mmmm... bacon. In French gastro-speak the term lardons means any large piece of cooked, crispy bacon. In my own gastro-speak is means delicious.

Sunday Brunch: Bacon Cheese Grits with a Fried Egg

Grits are something that I have recently fallen in love with. They are delicious and can be combined with so many flavors.

While traditionally grits might just be served with a pad of butter, they taste amazing when mixed with other things -- shrimp comes to mind. I thought, bacon makes everything taste better. So, why not bacon and cheese? Exactly. No good reason not to.
