Steak Enthusiast

The Texas Motor Speedway is getting in on the bacon action – again.

They already offer bacon cotton candy (really?) but now, for your dining pleasure, they are introducing the Shake’n Bacon … a milkshake made with bacon.

I’m wondering (like many of you, I’m sure) if the whole thing didn’t come from the racing movie icon Ricky Bobby and his famous “shake and bake” mantra.

This concoction has been created by a chef, though, and I think they’re pretty serious about it. Ricky Bobby may be a little too low brow for these folks.

What do you think? Is a bacon milkshake at the racetrack a solid idea or a recipe for disaster?

Remember this one?

One of the greatest ad campaigns in history.

I was just becoming a great beef connoisseur when these commercials came out – and I totally could relate to these ladies.

Beef lovers know when they’re being cheated!

Happy Throwback Thursday!
