UnicornDog

Irving's Unicorn Dog serves up a bacon dog with a side of french fries.

 

Food on a stick!  What’s not to love, right? The sweet, crispy crust of cornbread wrapped around an all-beef hot dog is one of my guilty pleasures. Usually, I head to the state fair for my annual corny dog, but now, for better or for worse, I’ve found a year-round fix at Unicorndog. Mix up some crispy bacon in the batter, and add ooey-gooey mozzarella cheese, and you’ve found corn dog heaven and bacon nirvana.

No editorial necessary here .Just load ‘em in your mouth! And though one of the best,  Bar Louie’s is not the only tater tot game in town. There are bacon-covered tasty tots aplenty in Irving.

 

And we're circling back to Big State, home of the previously mentioned BLT,  for the fries! Yup, the loaded cheese fries at Big State rival any I’ve ever had. Topped with blended melty cheese, crisp fried bacon and jalapenos, these are definitely a decadent treat for bacon and potato lovers. You’ll want to ask for extra Ranch dressing for dipping.

Cork and Pig-deviled eggs

 

Of course, with a name like Cork and Pig, this food and watering hole has to make the bacon blog list! The delicious deviled eggs pictured above are filled to the brim with a creamy egg yolk mayonnaise and tarragon mixture then topped with a thick piece of, that's right, crispy bacon. Want something a bit more substantial? Go for the whole hog, I mean THE PIG: A wood-fired pizza topped with Italian sausage, pepperoni, pancetta (basically bacon), mozzarella, tomato sauce, and fontina. Both are featured on the Happy Hour menu (daily 2 pm to 6 pm).

 

Thirsty Lion gets a second mention - beyond the bacon adorned Bloody Mary - for their Bacon Wrapped BBQ Shrimp dressed with Black Butte BBQ sauce, sticky rice, soy glaze, julienne carrots and daikon radish. Shrimp + Bacon = Delish!
