The Thick, Crispy Bacon Thread

Visited my go-to place for bacon--Coursey's, in St. Joe, Arkansas. In the past, I've ordered over the phone, having received a gift parcel of 5 lbs from my grandmother some 5 or 6 years ago and loving it ever since. But before this last week, I'd not actually *been* to Coursey's, which is a fairly out-of-the-way place in North Central Arkansas. From my visit I learned that they not only do an *amazing* job of smoking their bacon, but they also make some of the best smoked cheddar and smoked swiss I've ever had. Period. In addition to what I picked up (photo below), I also snagged some of their smoked cheddar, seasoning meat for ham'n'beans, and a few road sandwiches featuring their smoked ham and turkey. Just amazing. If you find yourself on HWY 65 somewhere between Branson, MO and Little Rock, I highly recommend finding this place.

That's the "new" sign out front...
