Cooking for Engineers reviews Chili's bacon burger

28 Apr 2008

As usual, he provides some great pictures, and brings calipers to the restaurant. Now that's an engineer for you.

Chili's Bacon Burger - Off Topic - Cooking For Engineers

From my pocket, I produced calipers with which I proceeded to measure the thickness of the bacon (one of the strips I had ordered on the side for this specific purpose - if I was going to contaminate some bacon, I wasn't going to sacrifice one of the ones on my burger!). Having done the measurements, I can now report that (on Friday, April 13, 2008 at the Chili's in Santa Clara, California) they served bacon that was (to an accuracy of 1/128th of an inch) 3/16 in. thick (4.75 mm ˜ 0.2mm) after cooking. In my experience, that's really thick bacon.
