Rules:
Food should bring people together, not tear them apart. Think of the human on the other side of the screen, and don't troll, harass, engage in bigotry, or otherwise make others uncomfortable with your words.
This community is for sharing pictures of awesome food, not a platform to advertise.
Preferably good, high quality pictures of good looking grub; for pictures of terrible food, see [email protected]

Bacon got REALLY expensive the year before I left the chef life for the wide world of food sales. I ended up running this as a special on the bars but it's become a staple for me whenever I get the craving.
Sourdough, dukes mayo, good tomato, lettuce, battered and fried chicken skins. You get that crunch and savory you want from a BLT at a WAY better price.
Distributors package the skins separately. It's basically boxing up all the skins from the boneless skinless chicken breast you buy in the store. I got it for something ridiculous like $0.49/# and use it so it doesn't go to waste.
How much do you have to buy to get that price? Or is getting a pound ok from your distributor?
The cases I have on hand are usually 10#.
NOW if you have a local butcher chances are they're still getting some stuff from the big boys, (US Foods/Sysco/Performance) and all of them will have cases on hand. Just need to convince them to get it in and move it. Odd's are any markup is only going to be about 10%, you'll still get a good price.
End of summer's a good time to push since you'll have football season kicking off, it's good for them to sell as a game night snack.
But the skin is the best part?
