Chewy bacon is superior compared to crunchy and I’m here to tell you why. Those who eat their bacon as if it were a sailor’s moldy biscuit risk damaging their braces. As it is known that the harder bacon is, the more likely it is to damage your orthodontic treatment. Along with this, crunchy bacon is akin to eating tree bark, it’s a sickly crunch that releases flavorless blades upon your gums. Cooking the bacon less crunchy allows whatever you cooked it with or seasoned it with to really bring out some of the more complex flavors possible with bacon. Even dishes that included bacon never have the meal adorned with the armor like monstrosity that is crunchy bacon; foods such as bacon wrapped hotdogs and jalapeno poppers never have crunchy bacon as it would ruin the carefully crafted flavor profiles of said food items. On rare occasions, a food item requires bacon cooked in such a barbaric manner; BLT sandwiches for example purposefully have moist vegetables to lessen the rough dangers of crispy

I enjoy my bacon crunchy. I do not understand eating your bacon chewy. It has very little taste, it does not feel good on the tongue, it is at that awkward consistency in between medium rare steak and crunchy (which is how bacon should be) where it’s just stiff like a sad clay statue thats in the process of drying. Chewy is a sin against food due to it’s unsatisfying nature. Crunchy bacon (even when burned) can provide you a sense of satisfaction as it can also be eaten with cream of wheat or oatmeal. This is a heated debate in my home, anytime my grandmother makes bacon she makes some chewy bacon for my dad and brother and make crunchy bacon for me and my grandpa. Bacon in nature is not thick it is just thin strips of meat. So when your bacon is firm and crunchy or burned it does not break your teeth and provides a bounty of flavor, while chewy bacon simply provides a floppy greasy disappointment thats is hard to chew.
