19 Restaurants in New York That’ll Fulfill Any Bacon Craving | Eater

"Chef Robert Occhipinti studied at the French Culinary Institute and under luminaries like Jean-Georges Vongerichten and Andrew Carmellini before opening this spot on his native Long Island in 2018. The seasonal menu skews French, Italian, and American classics, resulting in dishes like burrata with eggplant caponata and broccoli rabe pesto and squid ink tortellini with lobster. But one of his most inventive dishes is “bacon & peanut butter”, which combines succulent grilled bacon with a peanut butter sauce, roasted carrot puree, and red quinoa. It’s one of those dishes that sounds a bit odd but when you try it, it all makes sense." - devorahlevtov
