$2 Bacon Vs. $100 Bacon
(sizzling) – Season four. Who would have thought we
would have got this far? – Hey, four seasons. Like Vivaldi. (humming) Can’t believe you chose that apron. – Comment below. Who wore it better? – I think the answer is pretty clear. – Oh yeah? Yeah, I don’t think it’d beat this. (classical music) Bacon. Today on Worth It we’re going to be trying three excellent forms of bacon at three drastically
different price points to find out which one is the
most worth it at its price. – I’m excited. Bacon is a great food. – I’m not actually that
excited about this episode. – Really? – Yeah. It’s just overrated. – The smell and the sound
and the way it tastes. – I get it, but sometimes it’s
a little bit of an overload. – I can definitely understand that. (sneeze) – For this episode we
are going to be trying three bacons not only
at three price points, but in three different cities. Road trip. Sky trip. Home trip. – Yeah. Great. – We’re going to Palm Springs, baby. (upbeat music) – Hi, my name’s Tara Lazar. I own Cheeky’s. – [Andrew] How did Cheeky’s come to be? – I was sitting in front
of a computer day trading and I really wanted a
place to eat breakfast. I’m from Palm Springs, so I thought let’s open a breakfast place. – You’re kind of famous,
I guess, for you bacon. How did the bacon flight come to be? – I like different kinds of bacon and I didn’t want to have to choose. When we do bacon flights, we
pick five different flavors. We change our flights every week. This week one of the
flavors is miso butter. Miso has a really nice salt content so when you make bacon you
typically need a salt and a sweet even if it’s not gonna be a sweet bacon. The other one is rosemary sugar. That’s fresh rosemary and chop it up and just put some brown sugar and salt. We bake almost all of our bacon. It’s like the most even way of creating a perfect slice of bacon. – Now what is your opinion
on crispy versus more tender? – Such a crispy girl. How about you guys? – I do prefer a little bit of a chew. – I just don’t want to fight my food. – Right. He wants it crispy. Easy to chew, easy to swallow. – Adam sometimes doesn’t get
fed enough food on the show. – Should we try to make him something that makes him feel special? – I think so. – We’re kind of the breakfast expert, so. – Okay, why don’t we leave that up to you? – Okay. – I like that this feels like science. – Yeah. Cheers. – Tart but delicious. – [Steven] Bacon time. – I kind of like eating a
strip of bacon with my hand. Are you okay with that?
– Same. Yeah. – I have lots of cat
scratches on my hands, though. Is that okay Adam? – Wait, you have a cat? – I don’t, but I interact
with cats frequently. (laughter) I found a cat. It won’t be my friend. – Cheers.
– Cheers. – Whoa. I’ve never had bacon like this before. – That is great. – It’s neither chewy nor crispy. It’s chewspy. It does taste like a warm bowl
of miso packed into bacon. That’s a good appetizer. – Yes. – Let’s bring out the next one. Rosemary bacon. Wow. Crispy outside. Chewy inside. There’s pockets of fat drooling. My favorite thing is when foods drool because they realize how good they taste. Oh, oh no. – That’s my favorite. Rosemary, top three herbs easily. – Holy crap, that was like the best slice of bacon I’ve ever had. I can die happy now. – It’s time to take flight
with the bacon flight. Beeler apple cinnamon, miso butter, rosemary sugar, and a simple smoked one. Also, a jalapeno. This has got to be the way to go, right? – It’s got to be the cheapest
flight you’ve ever taken. – Oh, man. That’s the one. It’s so good. It’s like the best jalapeno kettle cooked potato chip I’ve ever had. Cause it’s bacon. – You full?
– I feel good. – Should we finish that one? – Sure. – Or give it to Adam? (cheerful music) – That was an oh man on the Adam scale. – [Adam] Oh man. – Don’t say we never feed Adam. – Can I get some of that? (laughter) Oh my god. (laughter) Alright. Back to L.A.? – In a minute. – The bacon flight. She’s been doing it for 10 years. Where were you in 2007? At the prom. – No telling. – Yeah, you were at prom. – I’m not telling. – You were dancing.
What were you doing 10 years ago? Playing RuneScape? – Why as a matter of fact I was. – I pick Cheeky’s. – I already picked Cheeky’s. I really like Tara. (laughter)
What? Why are you laughing at that? You didn’t like Tara? – Bacon fact. What we call Canadian bacon is actually pork loin or back bacon, which means that’s it’s technically
not the same as U.S. bacon, which is made from pork belly. – It makes sense cause Canada
is on the back of America. – Yeah. – American bacon, Canadian bacon. You’re looking at the
complete pig right there. So now we’re on our way to Manuela. – Getting something called a BLT. Bacon, lettuce, tomato. – It’s a sandwich. – You know, I accept BLTs. – News flash, most people accept BLTs. Their main ingredient is bacon. – My name’s Christian Truong. I’m the chef de cuisine at Manuela restaurant in downtown L.A. – [Andrew] What sort of
restaurant is Manuela? – Kind of Spanish flair. I wouldn’t say Tex-Mex,
but along that line. We do local ingredients. Our menu changes daily depending on what we get from the farmers market. – Today we’re gonna be having your BLT. What are all the steps going
into delivering that dish? – Getting the bread on the grill. Little char on it so you’ll
have that char flavor. Mayo, tomato, and some greens. – The bacon you cure in house? – Yes. – Curing is like this thing that I always hear happens to food. – You’re pulling a lot of moisture out, preserving that meat there. It changes the flavor, the texture. So when you cure it with
salt, sugar, maple syrup for about five days then wash it off, air dry it, and smoke it
for about three hours. I think a BLT is just a simple
but really good sandwich. So in this case we want
to make the bacon shine. – [Andrew] How much bacon
is going on this sandwich? Is it like a pretty tall stack or what? – [Christian] It’s five slices. I think it’s just the perfect amount. – So what do you have? – I have the prettiest michelada I’ve ever seen in my whole life. A little corny shone rammed into an olive. I’m gonna name a cat corny
shone someday in my life. – I’ve never been a big fan of micheladas. – It’s a difficult taste to acquire. Like if tastes were
Pokemon, you would need a master ball for the michelada. – Cheers. Fresh squeezed, fresh made. Oh yeah. That’s some good, good juice. – Let’s have this sandwich.
– Okay. – Because I watched this thing get made and I was blown away. – Favorite part of that process? Go.
– Easily the meat slicer. – Same. – Some people aspire to own luxury cars. You know, your Mercedes-Benz. I want to pay a premium to get that hand cranked meat slicer. – Let’s eat this BLT. Mm. I am sorry for all of the wrong things I said about bacon today. Bacon is good and not overrated. – This bacon is at the perfect point between crisp and tender. – Draw a graph. Crisp, tender. It’s right on that line. You go off that line and
you look like a fool. – Pickle break. I love that pickle. That’s a very good pickle. What is the shape of bacon? It’s like if you froze a weird sound wave. If a bacon strip was a sound wave, what would it sound like? – Wa. No, you do it. Do wa wa gu gu. It’s wavy but not an even wavy. – You sound like a grandfather
talking to a child. What do you think about the bacon? Bacon (speaking in foreign language). It’s Japanese for fact. In Germany, bacon is called speck. S-P-E-C-K. – That’s a speck-tacular fact. – In Netherlands, bacon is called spek. But no C. – That’s a spek-tacular fact. The French call it bacon or lard and Italy considers
pancetta as we do bacon. So now we leave Los Angeles
to go to the last bacon spot right in New York City
at the Gansevoort Market. – Teleportation is real. – For our final price point
a multi course bacon menu. Omakase. – Omakase? – Mama si, mama sa, omakase. (upbeat music) – Welcome to Belly at Gansevoort Market. My name’s Johnny Wooh. I’m the executive chef. Today you’re gonna have bacon omakase. – And what is omakase? – Omakase is literally
I leave it up to you. So I’ll serve the best
food around the board. If you don’t like it, I try
to like change it radically. And if you like the course,
I just take the flow. – And what is your background? – My background is a serious home cook. And this is exactly same setup. It’s almost like serving to my friends. And, you know, after the
dinner you become my friend. – Very confident. I hope we’re friends. – Beringer cabarnet. – Cheers. To the belly of the pig. – [Johnny] So the first course
of the day is bacon sushi. – [Steven] Ooh. I like where this is going. And what’s on top here? – [Johnny] Wasabi. – Cheers, Steven. – Cheers. – [Andrew] That’s good stuff.
– That’s delicious. – I love seeing food get made. You start salivating in anticipation and then there’s no delay, right? – It’s the preview before the movies. – [Johnny] This is bacon carpaccio. – [Steven] I’m gonna wrap it. – I’m just going. – Oh. – What is that reaction? – We’ve had a lot of crunchy bacon, but this is nice and soft and luscious. That’s so good. Salad? I did not sign up for a salad
but I will listen to the chef. – In Korea, mommies, grandma, always make food with their hand. So that’s what I’m doing. With love, you know? We call it the hand taste. – I’ll tell you what, though. My hands don’t taste good
so don’t get near my hands. – No problem. – [Steven] Oh. – [Andrew] Wow. – Thank you. Mm. It’s like a sesame vinegarette is what I would say it tastes like. You ready for bacon? – Yes. – Cheers. Mm. – Ooh. It just had a little bit
of the mustard on its own. Mustard it super powerful. – [Steven] I love how he
immediately read us and then left. – [Andrew] He’s like already
tinkering with something. I think I see a taco in my future. (laughter) – Ma? – It’s brie. – [Andrew] It’s brie cheese. – [Steven] Oh, yeah. (peaceful music) What is this? – Grapes. – That’s a really good combination. – The tortilla is actually dumpling skin. – Really? – So it’s a deconstructed
version of a dumpling. My mom, she ran restaurants
when I was young. I lived on the second
floor of that restaurant. I walk up by smelling food. I mean, it’s in my blood I think. – Thank you. – Habanero. (peaceful music) – I needed this. – Yeah. – It was like bacon,
bacon, bacon, bacon, pasta. It’s a good break to have. – Every time Adam eats I feel like I’m watching a David
Attenborough documentary. – This is a dumpling. – Okay. You ready? – I am. – Whoa. I just got this like wave of nostalgia. Like eating dumplings in my mom’s kitchen. The chili is just like
kind of what she had, too. Wow. – So if we came again, would the menu be different?
– It’s a completely different menu. – Really?
– Yeah. – Do you remember that people come here and remember what you served them? – Of course. Sometimes I eat together,
drink together with customers. – I’d love that. Next time. 2:01. – [Johnny] At 2:01, yes. – Andrew. – Yes? – Three bacons, three price points. – Belly, you’re in the
middle of this hectic market, but somehow it’s this
cozy at home experience. But my Worth It winner is Manuela. They have a dedication to process and it’s a super cool place to eat. – Cheeky’s is my Worth It winner. The bacon was five totally unique bacons. Adam, what’s your Worth It winner? Can you believe that we’ve been doing this for three seasons now? – [Andrew] I’ve kind of
developed the diet of a bear. Force feeding every day and then I go to sleep for six months
and I do it again and that is the Worth It season.
– [Man] Oh yes.

Peppa ……. what are you doing in buzzfeed video
He cuts his blts into
TRIANGLES
Everything they taste they are onsessed with it even picles 😂
'What sort of restaurant is Manuela?' 'Kind of Spanish flair, I wouldn't say Tex-mex but along that line'
Someone should explain this chef that the word Spanish, as an adjective means 'relating to Spain, its people, or its language'. Spain: in Europe, about 5,000 miles from Texas, with a cuisine that has nothing to do with the Texan or Mexican cuisine. The menu of Manuela has several Mexican dishes, but nothing Spanish.
Before I get to the end I predict caviar
Seeing Adam happy makes me happy
You know it’s good when the fork is upside down in your mouth 😂😂
I found a cat who won't be my friend- andrew
Sooo if bacon will be cook….cookon?
You�re welcome, and have a nice day
Alot of people dont understand how a restaurant works. Price of food is a combination of rent for the building, electricity, water, insurance, licenses, man power, and produce. So is a slice of bacon being 1.50 expensive?? That depends if you believe in the product and the establishment
Steven has just invented a new word chewspy he has permission form the government
We have a diner in Michigan that serves endless bacon appetizers. They bring 1 pound to start and bring more as you eat
i wanna crispy bacon but in my country there are no tradition to do so and you barely can find thin pieces of bacon
I loveeee Adam
Bacon is a carcinogen, it’s not safe. Please be careful everyone regarding how much bacon you all consume! Best Wishes x
They should do human meat next
Spek, Lekker man!
Best 2 dollar bacon?
Chocolate bacon at the Santa Cruz boardwalk. Winner.
Speck Is not bacon (although it's pretty similar)
Bless you!
I've been eating 2 dollar bacon all my life.
So if we’re to eat bacon just bacon I would spend $10 to fill me up
“Every time Adam eats, it feels like I’m watching a David Attenborough documentary.” You have never made me happier, Andrew.
That chick is not a breakfast expert if she likes extra crispy and bakes the bacon. Thats lazy and burnt
How these guys manage to keep healthy weights, is beyond me. I just gained 5lbs watching this!!
Anyone else craving bacon now…?
Best episode of worth it if you ask me/
I am from Canada and Canadian bacon is literally ham. We eat regular bacon like this episode featured, nobody I know eats “Canadian bacon”, unless we’re eating ham. It’s just ham. 🥓
Anybody else annoyed af at all the Hobbs and Shaw commercials?!
I agree with him
Bacon really isn't that amazing
It's just fat pork
Where was I in 2007? I was in my mother’s womb
Can you just keep Adam in the background eating his own food quietly as you two talk and eat… he is to quote “The Office” everything!!! Also, need T-shirt’s with his head on it and the words “Worth It”, sell those on an amazon storefront…. solid.
2 dollars for a bacon piece & 18 dollars for a BLT sandwich it is so expensive
0:54 bless you
If you guys love bacon, I would highly recommend trying dong po rou (braised pork belly). I went to my Chinese friend's house and his grandmother us that dish. It's one of the best things I've ever eaten. It melts in your mouth.
if teleportation is real then why do you have diffirent clothes on you could’ve worn the same thing if you teleported there 🤔
Why are you guys like the most boring people on the planet
when a german tries speakin english 7:47
Andrew did the 4 seasons thing at the end of the Peking Duck vid
Genuine question, why does it seem that the majority of American bacon is streaky rather than back.
Wierd to us here in the UK..
om 2007 i was born lol
where were you 10 years ago? playing runescape. oh well, me too.
SNIbbas er nibbas
The correlation of Adam being so comfortable as a specimen in his natural habitat that he would be getting analyzed and talked about by David Attenborough was funny as hell. David Attenborough voice – "Look at how the homosapien devours his nourishment without any shame in a public place, this has to undoubtedly be one of his favorite watering holes."
The way I like my bacon, the way my mom cooks it is it’s a mix of both chewy and crispy
Have you heard about this deli in New Jersey where they make a sandwich, but instead of bread they use a huge Kosher pickle? I would love to see you try one.
Tf they use that bread for tho
Hi all
In German it's actually like sh-peck
Me after video: honey get me plane tickets to California and NY ……. oh wait I don’t have a wife or a job

If you’re in Indiana, grab a package of Indiana Kitchen bacon.

Bacon in Poland is Boczek
So did you actually go all the way across the United States just for bacon….. IS THIS A JOKE?!
Not excited for bacon bye Steven
I could shoot a hog on my land for about $2 ( 30.06,rounds are pretty expensive), unfortunately, wild hogs don't have the same consistent taste as farm raised pigs.
Who wore it better

Comment for Andrew
Do a baked potato version
Bacon plus Rice is the way
