Wife and I were in Vegas a few weeks ago and decided to hit up the Wicked Spoon buffet at the Cosmo. Decent place, but they had something that was out of this world. Center cut side bacon, that was about 1/4 thick and 4"x2" in size. Smoked to absolute perfection. The fat just melted away the second it hit your lips and then it was perfect lightly maple and apple smoked bacon perfection on the tongue. I must repeat this.

Anyone got any good recopies for curing and smoking your own side bacon?
