Searching for your inner swine

The Berkshire uses Daily's Bacon, which is some of the finest bacon I've ever tasted. The problem, however, is that we food mortals who don't own or operate a restaurant can't buy bacon directly from Daily's, which sells its bacon only to bona fide restaurateurs.

The Web site (dailys meats.com) maintains that various supermarkets across the country carry it, but I've yet to find it locally. So what are certified bacon addicts to do when they're in search of swoon-worthy swine?

If, like me, you can't live without your daily dose of pork, you join the Bacon of the Month Club at gratefulpalate.com.

The California-based temple of slabs and rashers hawks all manners of oink, ranging from pigs posing on T-shirts and pork rinds to bacon brittle and bacon popcorn. If you pony up $150 for a year's worth of monthly offerings, you'll receive the T-shirt, a different artisan bacon delivered to your door every month and all sorts of extras, like bacon recipes, Web product discounts, a rubber pig toy (great for the family dog) and the infamous strap-on snorting nose, which is the No. 1 reason to be piggy and proud.

    This sounds heavenly and I was so excited to join! I immediately went to place my order, but alas all is not as it seems. Yes, I can join the bacon of the month club for $150 but it is going to cost me $145 in shipping for a grand total of $295. Sorry but that is a lot of bacon. Instead I just opted for the 4 bacon selection for a total of $66 - a bit more reasonable for gourmet bacon.
