I actually think that bacon (aka pork belly) is probably one of the most diverse and craving inducing foods known to man. Pork Belly can be cured and made into pancetta or cured and smoked and made into bacon, made into one of my favorite Asian flavorings,
Char Sui or in some cases just cooked in interesting ways. Here are a few fun things done with it...

It is not all bacon... he uses cold cuts too
And then there is
David Beran, one of my favorite Chicago chefs from
Alinea. I consider Chef David to be a food artisan... making amazing flavors and displaying them in innovative and beautiful ways. He uses tweezers and surgical instruments to create his incredible dishes. In this video he shows us how he works his magic with a pork belly dish:

Another thing that always cracked me up when I was a kid was the commodities market, remember hearing about the price of Pork Bellies... now "I so get it!" And today at least the market is UP!
