“I can now report that (on Friday, April 13, 2008 at the Chili’s in Santa Clara, California) they served bacon that was (to an accuracy of 1/128th of an inch) 3/16 in. thick (4.75 mm ± 0.2mm) after cooking.”
That be some pretty thick bacon.
I have to hand it to Chili’s the bacon truly is thick. In fact, I’ll even call it extra thick. (They called it “triple thick”, I’m not sure what that means unless there’s a standard bacon thickness of 1/16 in. that I don’t know about.) Does it truly hold up to its claim that it’s the “thickest bacon you’ve ever seen”? My guess is that for most people that’s true, but for me it was most definitely not the case.
Oh BTW I think I got enough info out of the meat dept at Ideal to figure out what brand the uber bacon is. I sent an email and will let you know what I find out.
