Fat City on the radio: Bacon and the Super Bowl

There’s no shortage of opinions on bacon. Some see it as the decline of our civilization; others would argue it’s the best thing we’ve ever done as a culture. Today, you can debate either side when Fat City’s Charles Ferruzza and the food critics talk about the ubiquitous pork product on The Walt Bodine Show (KCUR, 89.3 FM) from 10 to 11 a.m.

Possible conversation fodder : the bacon explosion is a local invention that’s generated a Web business and cookbook. And there’s bacon ranch and bacon popcorn or the unfortunately named meat lamp. All of these might lead you to bacon fatigue, which you can vent about to Walt, Charles and the rest of the food critics.

And on Saturday, if you’re still unsure where to go for

the Super Bowl, but want to avoid the sports bar scene, I’ll be talking

to Chef Jasper Mirabile Jr. and co-host Mitch Baker on Live From Jasper’s Kitchen Podcast

(KCMO 710 AM) between 11 a.m. and 12 p.m. We’ll discuss recommendations across downtown, the Northland and

Overland Park, noting where you should go if you want to

eat, and where you should go if the goal is drinking.
