Candied Bacon
Directions
Tomatador Bloody Mary Ketchup
Combine all ingredients and set aside and refrigerate overnight.
Vodka-Pickled Celery
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
Light mixture with flame to burn off alcohol (be very careful there will be a lot of fire).
Once the fire is out, allow to cool slightly then pour over 1 quart of sliced celery.
Let pickle for at least 24 hours before using.
Candied Bacon
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and set a rack in the middle position. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean up and set an oven-proof rack over top.
Arrange the bacon in a single layer on the rack and bake for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, syrup, and chipotle powder. Set aside.
Remove the pan from the oven and flip the bacon slices. Using a small spoon, spread the sugar mixture evenly over the bacon. Place the pan back in the oven and continue to cook for 20-35 minutes more (cook as long as possible without burning it).
Once done to your liking, use tongs to remove the bacon and transfer to parchment paper or a platter in a single layer. Let cool for 10-15 minutes - the bacon will crisp up as it cools.
Fries
Fry, bake or air fry fries per package instructions.
Assemble the Loaded Fries
