When it comes to his restaurants, Michelin-starred chef Thomas Keller utilizes Hobbs’ Applewood Smoked Bacon, a packaged variety widely used by Northern California eateries.
Hobbs’ Applewood Smoked Bacon boasts sweet and smoky notes derived from the applewood used in its curing process, with its ideal thickness ensuring crispy yet tender bites.
This iconic, thick-cut pork bacon is considered the blueprint for “California-style” bacon and while they offer only one flavor, you can choose between cured and uncured varieties.
Hobbs’ bacon is available for purchase at local grocery stores throughout Northern California and on specialty retail sites, typically priced at under $9 for a 1-pound package.
