I was startled to come across an article headed "Push Button Bacon" a reference to a vending machine that (for money of course) dispenses measures of cooked, smoked, bacon. First thought was "I bet that's in Japan!"
But no. Look to Oscar's Smokehouse of Warrensburg, New York. Their refrigerated vending machines also carry three year old Cheddar and smoked pork chops - all priced the same as they are in the store.
It is unlikely that beach dwellers will be trekking to upstate New York. So for a much more local place to get a bacon fix, go no further than Slater's 50/50 bar and restaurant in the old Mermaid restaurant of the Hermosa Beach Pier.
I quote some of the items on Slater's Bacon Flight - bacon with salt, vinegar chicharrons
Salted caramel bacon Kettle Corn
Crispy pork belly with jalapeno-bacon jam
It's worthwhile to pull up Slater's menus for plenty of ideas for things you can prepare and enjoy right in your own home. Oscar's Smokehouse came up with this vending machine thing in an effort to avoid face-to-face contact during The Virus.
But if for some reason you are in Oscar's neighborhood - pop in and take some pictures! Preferably a galley of people's reactions when they push a button and bacon! comes out!
