Ah, bacon...I actually do know people who claim to be vegetarians with an exception for bacon. They just can't give it up.

haha, the girl with a guy voiceover made me laugh so much (anyone else catch that from the original Iron Chef)

[princesssookeh]

@sweeneyt1 Then they aren't vegetarians. I hate it when people claim that without doing the work that comes with it. And this is coming from an omni.

I don't like bacon ( I know there is something wrong with me) but bacon fat is my lipid of choice for some refried beans.

Awwwr, Alton didn't win... Those bastards

[dzang96]

Was he making a joke at the end that the Iron Chef usually wins even if the challenger's dish tastes better?
