On today's episode of How to Make It, chef Katie Pickens is at Benton's, a world-famous bacon maker. bg147: I come from a long line of Italian knife grinders and my grandpa would bring home a slab of bacon with the bristle still on the skin. There was no comparison to what is mass produced. The food produced today in the USA is produced based on cost and little else. The quality is lacking relative to other countries but that is what people demand. People get what they want. On the flip side, my grandpas were close friends of Chef Boyardee who was at my parents' wedding and he was one of the pioneers in mass production of food. He went to one of my relatives and asked for some investment dollars to get his idea rolling. The response was. Spaghetti in a can! Haha, nobody wants that, sorry.

Dude, the fact that the meat is going to be touched 40 times at least by so many people (and I've seen some in the video not wearing gloves) is not really something to brag about. It's actually worrying. None of you are wearing facemasks, all your spit while talking is getting on that meat. Also you're not wearing beard masks, your hair and beard is falling on that meat, not to mention all those people not wearing gloves, they scratch their head, wipe of sweat and keep on working touching that meat that someone will be eating later, well damn son

So. you enjoy killing? Yes, you enjoy what man does best. kill and destroy. Man kills and destroys his own, animals, our food supply, air, water, Mother Earth, it really doesnt matter so long as were killing and destroying. Do you know that animals are intelligent, sentient beings? Probably yo dont really dont gas (give a sht. so long as youre making your profit to satisfy your ego, greed and dysfunction. Why not kill your dog and cats, too, and turn them into bacon? Just keep killing and doing what you do best.

I thought there was some place in the US where people make good quality food (I'm French by the way)Do they also make cured ham? we see many of them in storage, alongside with pork bellyMaybe they pack bacon in different thickness (thin, medium and thick, to follow the customer's tastes? Interesting and precise facts, this is good!

When I was stationed up north at Ft. Campbell, KY we used to load up on their bacon and ham whenever we used to stay the weekend at Chattanooga or Knoxville. We were also known to camp near the Jack Daniels distillery even though it was a dry county but they would hook u up while on the distillery property. Good times.

Wow do you want to talk about a disaster if these guys lose electricity for a day or two. I guess everybodys going to be barbecuing in the whole county because you have to give it all away better than throwing it away. Well lets hope they dont lose their electricity Unless the county wants to have a huge barbecue

Here in Alabama we bury our shoulders and middlins in course salt for 2- 3 wks then dump the salt box and cover the cured meat with cornmeal to absorb excess moisture for about a month or till the peach trees bloom and the hang and smoke for 36 hrs sausage as well

Now that's bacon. Smoked with WOOD not liquid or artificial smoke. Sliced thick so you get to taste the goodness. Crispy dry bacon does not interest me. My local butcher in Melbourne Australia wood smokes their own bacon & hams & it is the best I have tasted.

Just got an uncut belly and an aged ham from Bentons. Amazing flavour. Their hams are closer to a Serrano ham from my native homeland and their bacon has such a smoky complex flavour. Im in love with their product

After burning herself out by dunking the bacon slabs in the water and trying to chop wood, I don't think this girl will ever make fun of people living and working in Middle America ever again where these crafts still exist.
