The Ultimate Bacon Taste Test: Top Picks Revealed

Bacon lovers, rejoice! In a quest to find the best bacon available, Delish conducted a blind taste test featuring 20 samples from 13 different brands, including popular grocery chains and specialty mail-order options.

The results showcased a variety of winners in different categories. ButcherBox bacon emerged as a favorite for its smoky flavor and ideal fat content, impressing editors with its classic taste. “Pretty good taste, texture, flavor, and salt,” noted designer Alison Dominguez, capturing its essence perfectly.

Wegmans, primarily found on the East Coast, also made a strong impression with its balanced smoke and rich texture, praised by multiple editors. It’s a brand worth seeking out if you haven't yet tried it.

For those who prefer thick-cut bacon, Peter Luger’s offering didn't disappoint, boasting a savory flavor and impressive heft. “Best thickness! Love. 5/5,” raved food editor Francesca Zani.

Lastly, Sam’s Club’s Member’s Mark thick-cut bacon proved that delicious bacon doesn’t have to break the bank. At just $4.12 per pound, its crispy and fatty profile garnered mixed reviews but remains a solid choice for budget-conscious bacon enthusiasts.
