Dry Aged Steak

What makes the steaks at the steak house so darn good?

Bacon Explosion … Yes, Really.

My local newspaper, the Dallas Morning News, posted a recipe just before Superbowl Sunday titled Bacon Explosion.  Since bacon is the candy of meat, I had to click the link and see what was what.  What I found was intriguing, and hard to resist. It is a blanket of woven, thick cut, bacon that encases a pinwheel of sweet Italian sausage, BBQ sauce, BBQ rub, and crisp bacon bits.  I amended the recipe very slightly by adding diced...
