What's the best store-bought bacon? In the southeast, if that matters - I don't know what you Yankees and western cowboys have available that we here in the east don't. Is bacon a regional thing?

Bacon seems very regional.
I bet Walmart and Daily's are the most popular here.

I know this doesn't answer your question, but making your own bacon is damn easy and tastes better than any store bought that I've ever eaten. Go to amazingribs.com and look at their recipe if interested.

Just had this conversation at camp last week. My sense is that bacon is best bought by the package and not the label. I surmise alot of it is made at the same plant(s) and labeled as its processed, that day, for whomever. The GreatValue we took to Montana tasted alot like the Farmland in the fridge in our kitchen Sunday.
I do buy Hormel Black Label when it's at Menard's every what two months or so...

Go to amazingribs.com and look at their recipe if interested. I just started a buckboard bacon last night, from a 4 pound shoulder. In the fridge for 14 days now, rub it every day to give it some love, then I'll enjoy some of the best bacon know to man. Sorry Triggernosis, but I can't help ya' with the best storebought. Steve - I even used a bit of the honey you gave me a while back - thanks again!

I feel sorry for you guys that settle for store bought bacon, sausage, burger and ….. Ah yep. With our own bacon we do a 14 day wet cure in the cooler, then hickory smoke, then thick slice, then vacuum seal, and freeze. Lasts in the freezer about as long as it takes to fry it up and get gone. I can guarantee it ain't nuthin' like store bought.

Sams, they bundle 3, 1 lb packages together. It tastes as good as any store bought we've tried and very consistent from one buy to the next.
I need to find out what the Mennonites use at Yoders. That might be the best I've ever had.
