Pecan brown sugar and bacon ice cream
These days, pork is popping up in everything from candy bars to margaritas, so it was only a matter of time before someone got the big idea of hosting a bacon-themed brunch. Of course, we're not talking about eggs Benedict here, but rather porktastic dishes like pecan waffles with caramel-bacon sauce, seared scallops on leeks with reduced balsamic vinegar and crumbled bacon and pecan brown sugar and bacon ice cream.
Attendees of a special brunch at 2 West on Saturday, November 3rd, will be able to sample those dishes and more, plus listen to Seduced by Bacon authors Joanna Pruess and Bob Lape discuss bacon basics and receive signed copies of their book (noon; $85 per person, includes three-course brunch, choice of mimosa or Bloody Mary and a signed book; 917-790-2525).
