When will the madness cease?! First there were bacon-flavoured envelopes, then bacon shoes and now bacon candles! David Burke’s Primehouse in Chicago has created an edible bacon candle made from rendered bacon fat to be used as a garnish on certain dishes.
David Burke recommends pouring it over “dry aged beef, scallop sashimi or any other delectable treat worthy enough to be covered in bacon”, which according to the bacon afficionado, is just about anything!
The tw0-inch tall candle has a vegetable base wick and can be purchased from the butcher next to their Chicago restaurant.
