The worldwide obsession with bacon may be throwing the balance of supply and demand way off, but increased prices on pork belly won't stop the crazed bacon lovers of the internet; they're still out there creating insane food mash-ups starring b-a-c-o-n. The latest idea to go viral will either make your eyes glow with excitement or your stomach turn.
Let's get one thing straight: this recipe is not for the faint of stomach. It's cheese, covered in ground beef and wrapped in bacon. At the end of the video―which I know you'll get to because it's freakin' mesmerizing and impossible to stop watching―you'll see the roll is also slathered in BBQ sauce and coated with toppings like crushed tortilla chips and fried onions. The end result, a massive, beefy roll, definitely can't be picked up with chop sticks alone.
The video has been watched over 7 million times on Facebook, and has over 8,000 comments. The reactions seem mixed. Obviously there are the bacon fiends who are all about it. But there are plenty of people who are flat-out disgusted. There are also the fun-hating commenters who have accused the roll in question of being "meatloaf" and not sushi (lol, duh). When you're deciding how you feel about it, I urge you not to listen to any of them. In fact, I encourage you to make your own list of pros and cons. Here are a few to get you started.
Reason to eat it: Food mash-ups are the bomb, Y.O.L.O., you really like bacon.
Reasons not to eat it: You're a vegetarian, you stand against non-crispy bacon, you're trying to have a baby.
