i've had bacon from most all the big name purveyors including Nueske's. My go to for several years has been Burger's Smokehouse. I buy slabs (Whole Slab Bacon 11-13 lbs. de-rind @ $89.99). Their prices include shipping and are not as outrageous as Benton's, Nueske's, and others.

They also use a dry cure without chemicals:
"Somewhere down the line, we had the idea to use our age-old family recipe on bacon. And we knew we were on to something. Our Dry Cured Country Bacon is cured with our mixture of salt, brown sugar and pepper, then slow-smoked over natural wood chips...never adding any water. Because who wants to cook water with their bacon?"

In the end, it’s only money and then you die. Then the people who get your money will spend it to buy something like this outrageous bacon. Thanks bald1, I’m a gonna need to order some of this for a taste test comparison between Benton’s. Totally scientific evaluation.
