When Brillat-Savarin said that “the discovery of a new dish confers more happiness on humanity than the discovery of a new star” he perhaps hadn’t spent much of his time near the deep fryer. This dish confers on humanity nothing but moral decline.
I present to you french fry coated bacon on a stick. Originally I was planning on making a French fry coated, bacon-wrapped hot dog, but thought that the inclusion of the hotdog was largely pointless. Why not just head straight for the bacon?
Front.
Back: French fries attached to the bacon with thick corndog batter. No food styling tricks, apart from using a fondue fork instead of an actual stick. I didn’t have a suitable wooden skewer on hand.
Tasted. I feel ill and so very, very dirty.
If you’re keen to replicate, do so at your own risk. Follow the french fry coated hot dog recipe, omit the hot dog and substitute with a thick slice of homemade bacon

DrEVIL – er Phil- it’s the kind of food you crave when you’ve been on a bender but can’t be fagged making with a hangover. Battered food is so enticing in a primal way. Reminds me of an episode of ‘No Reservations’ where Bourdain eats deep fried Cheesecake on a stick in America’s largest mall.

How is this “Korean food”? Seriously, that’s a borderline slur.
