Peppered bacon !
This stuff is amazing. I had it on a BLT at Fire & Oak restaurant in Jersey City, NJ. Blows regular bacon away!
Any recommendations, from those who enjoy this culinary treat, where to buy it? My local Whole Foods as well as independent butcher don't carry it
I noticed Cabela's sells it online - is this a viable way to purchase bacon?

I couldn't spot the weight on that page. I usually pay $2.50 for 12 oz of regular bacon. I'm guessing Cabelas is charging $3.33 a pound. Viable? Yes. Reasonable? I say no. Surely it's available in a local grocery or specialty store.
(I now see it's 4 pounds, so $12.50 a pound. And that's before shipping. Pretty expensive in my book.)
bacn.com has it for around $7 a pound. Keep looking. If you find it for $5 a pound, buy.

If your pig has flown, yet you desire pepper on flesh, then I highly recommend a seasoning which includes pepper, on lamb.
A lovely, lingering treat for your tastebuds, especially if you are in Australia or NZ, where we all adore a little lamb - on the plate!

It's interesting how some other posters note finding it in the supermarkets. Perhaps it's a regional thing? (e.g. pork roll in the northeast)?

I only buy peppered bacon... and I do love my bacon.
I have no problem finding it in our local Shaws and Stop 'n Shop stores.

But if you guys all say it's good I'll give it a try sometime if I can find it.

I don't think you'll be disappointed. ^
