One of my favorite television shows is “Top Chef” on the Bravo network. The head judge, Tom Colicchio, claims that “everything tastes better with bacon” and I tend to agree with him. For example, I adore sea scallops – but wrap them in bacon and it’s like a little taste of heaven! Which is why this appetizer is perfect for our upcoming New Year’s party.
Each year the neighbors in our cul-de-sac get together for a New Year’s Eve party. Most of us have small children and none of us want to be on the dangerous winter roads that night, so we gather at someone’s home for appetizers and cocktails. The kids have fun watching a movie or playing board games, and the adults don’t have to worry about finding a babysitter or driving home after having a few drinks. This year I predict my bacon-wrapped scallops are going to be a huge hit! Appetizerstogo.com sells 100 pieces for $111.69, which is a bit more than I would normally spend but I am going to keep some for a special Valentine’s Day dinner for just myself and my husband. Shipping is a very reasonable $13.95, and if I were to order 3 items shipping would be free.
