NYMag.com: Make PDT's Bacon-Infused Old-fashioned

In the magazine this week, maple syrup was a key ingredient in the "In Season" recipe. Don Lee of PDT may use maple syrup to make his old-fashioned, but we couldn't get past the bacon-infused bourbon that is the base of the drink. Bacon? Bourbon? We're in. And since we took our camera to PDT yesterday to watch Lee prepare the drink himself, we can all practice at home. Frequently. Video by Jonah Green

It doesn't really taste like bacon at all. It was more for a subtle smokey flavor. But trust me--it was delicious.

And if you blend in some scrambled eggs, pancakes and orange juice....you're all set.

Cheers!

ok you think its wrong find i dunno much about this as im just trying to get a job doing this atm but thats not the point instead of complaining on his video why dont you make your own one and show us how to do it right

And before you ask yes the spelling and grammar suck live with it.

While im not so sure on his recipie(though by the looks of things he knows more then my amature attempts) this dose look like a real nice bar and that looks like a nice drink ive goto try that thanks for the video

Chef touches the ingredients when he cooks your food yeah? he'll probably even dip his finger in the sauce to taste it no?? so tell us exactly what the difference between right and wrong is?

He says 1 ounce of bacon grease for 750ml bourbon, yet he scoops off what looks like way more than 6 ounces of fat from the bourbon. What's right?
