Why are Americans so passionate about their bacon? According to myrecipes.com, "Humans are genetically engineered to love bacon." We love the sweet and salty taste of bacon." You can enjoy the deliciousness of this crispy pork delicacy all by itself or with eggs and toast. Hot, crunchy bacon makes for an excellent BLT, and it can be eaten at any meal you choose. Writing about it makes me want to munch on a big pile of bacon right this second!

Believe it or not, bacon is fairly nutritious, according to healthline.com. A 3.5-ounce of bacon contains 37 grams of high-quality animal protein and includes Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, and B12. How about a couple of bacon fun facts?

• In Las Vegas, there's a church dedicated to bacon called 'The United Church of Bacon.'

This brings me to the question, which restaurants serve the best bacon in greater Danbury?
