Basically we started by doing math, 3 guys X 2 pounds of bacon = amazing. Next We split up the bacon and tried to see who could come up with the best weaving method. Mine took the longest but had the tightest weave. What I did was lay out about 8 strips of bacon on a plate in the same direction. Then I placed one piece of bacon along the edge in the other direction with a weave pattern through the eight pieces. Now I folded every second piece of the 8 bacon strips backwards over the single woven piece along the edge. This made it easy to place a second strip beside the singe one over top of the 4 pieces not folded away. When you fold back the 4 pieces it creates a weave. Then fold the other 4 pieces back and place another strip beside the 2 that are woven already and fold the 4 pieces back. Kinda confusing to type but it was the easiest way to create a tight weave. We cooked the bacon on a broiler pan in the stove for 15 minutes each side at high broil. The bacon automatically fuses together with the grease and stuff to create a solid sheet of baconness. The hardest part for us was transporting the bacon weave in it's raw state from the plate to the broiler pan. I found pressing my open hand across the weave and slowing sliding worked best. We thought weaving it on the pan would work but only if you make one weave. Since we were making 3 the pan was to hot to make the second and third on after the first was cooked. We put the weave on sliced tomato's, sprinkled it with mozzarella and put it on mayo'd cheese bread. My wife picked on us the full four hours we spent working on the project but when I offered her just one bite she changed her mind immediately. after reading all these comments from truly serious bacon fans like my self, i figured i’d put up how we made it and see if anyone can improve on it.

My hubby would b so supprised to see a blanket of bacon over hi usual scrabled eggs w/ cheese. (sorry about the typos, dislexia isnt good for spelling) I cant belive all the drama over meat, but i have to admit I found it all quite annoyin and yet amusing.

BUT, pork isn't kosher, bacteria inside pig doesn't die even after it's cooked AND pigs are the worst treated factory farm animals. It's sick, there's bacon in almost all fast food to give you the idea of how bad it is. I don't eat pork, or meat for that matter. I have been almost 95% vegan for the last 9 months. It's easier then you think. Awesome idea, it’s almost weird how someone hasn’t thought of this before.

You've all truly entertained a slightly intoxicated person in Missouri. Keep up the good work on the food blogging. I'm not sure if I'll ever try this, but it does look amazing (even if it isn't a new idea). This has been a great read. You’ve all truly entertained a slightly intoxicated person in Missouri.

Please, if you have tried it, tell us how to do it "right". I may try it anyway, but knowing how to do it "best" would be really helpful. I will wait to see...( I'm not the world's best cook, so will leave technique to the more talented of us). If I don't see any posting telling how to do it, I will forge ahead. :) I think I read all of the messages and still haven’t seen anyone who actually did it.
