[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 585779, member: 9"] We get Wright's thick sliced in our area too. Our major supermarket (regional?) chain is United. There is also a Wal-Mart Supercenter. In our area Sysco is the supplier for most grocery stores as far as I know. I do know that processors, wholesalers, etc., will sell/furnish "bulk" shipments of bacon or any other packaged food. They will sell the good, bad, and indifferent...it gets rid of the "stash" they are holding. That aside, yes, you need some fat in bacon. But when you cook 4-6 slices and get 3 to 4 ounces of grease...well, that's waste that you don't eat (or drink)...lol. Guess the bottomline of my "argument" is there appears to be no consistency in the product that ends up at the supermarket level. I still think that there is "quality" bacon (or other meat products) for a reasonable price that SOME places and/or restaurants get. So...is there a "sorting" game at the processor? Excellent stuff to high end restaurants? Good stuff to prestigious supermarkets? Poor or inconsistent stuff to average or lower grocery stores and/or restaurants? [Even "center cut" bacon seems to be unreliable]. JMO [/QUOTE]
