Bacon Bacon BACON 🐷! Trying Butcher Craft THICK Cut for the 1st time: SuperChef vs Supermarket

Jun 26, 2025 Β· 5:02

Summary

Darnell takes on fully cooked Butcher Craft bacon and it's not what he expected. This thick-cut bacon? It's actually paper thin, needs microwaving, and costs $6.49 for just eight slices compared to regular bacon's 15 to 16 slices. He gives it a C overall because while it tastes like bacon, you're paying a premium for convenience you probably don't need. The real talk hits different though. Darnell breaks down who should actually buy this (office workers with only a microwave) versus home cooks who'll get way more bang for their buck cooking it themselves. Plus he roasts turkey bacon as "cardboard paper," which is peak SuperChef energy.

All right

So, this episode of Super Chef Supermarket, I want to keep it simple

You know what I'm saying? When you wake up early in the morning, you try to cook that breakfast

I wanted to see what this um Boris Head fully cooked bacon was about, man

Cuz I know we all see it in the grocery stores, but let's

take this back to the kitchen

Let's see if it's worth the hype or if you should just cook your own bacon. [Music] All right, back in the kitchen now with some bacon

Bacon

Bacon

Bacon

Did you know that bacon bacon bacon thing? Add bacon p That's not real bacon

That's

flavored pieces that you just put on your salads

Just a little note for you in case you didn't know

Uh but okay, today we're about to taste this uh fully cooked bacon

We've all been tempted to buy fully cooked bacon on our lazy dates, right? We've all seen it in the grocery stores um and never in the like

refrigerator section, which I messed this with people like why is bacon not cooled? Um, but it's fully cooked bacon and I wanted to try it out for all the people at home who may have thought about getting it like myself but never did it

First things first, let's just start this thing off with price, man.

Let's get let's dive straight into it

We know it's bacon

We know what it's going to taste like

But as far as price, this is $6.49, I believe, right? $6.49

Normally bacon costs about $5.49

So, it's a dollar more than normal bacon and it has about half the amount of slices

This has eight slices

I mean,

bacon usually has like 15 to 16 slices of bacon in it. matter what you're getting

So price is going to be hard

It matters about time

This is for the this is for the person who doesn't have much time on their hands that needs to have their bacon in their office

They have a microwave in there and they want

to warm it up like that

So if that's your lifestyle, then you would probably get this pricing a because they charging you that much because it's fully cooked

You know what I'm saying? They took some time to cook it

So now they charging you for it

But if you have some time, you know what I'm saying? that extra

dollar and the extra twice as much bacon may matter to you

So $649 for bacon right now

I give price a C minus

C minus on price

Nutrition, it's bacon

Never really been good for us

You know what I'm saying? Like what do you want to say? You know, we eat bacon

We shouldn't be eating it

But I mean, we

do it anyway

Nutrition, it is what it is

It's a thousand better products and more nutritional ways of getting meat in your breakfast or in your food

But I still choose bacon just like you at home

So it is what it is

It's not healthy

You shouldn't be eating it

But we do and I will and I support bacon.

But nutrition, you just got to fail

It's not a nut

It's not a nutritional product

It just is what it is

And this ain't for Bor's head bacon

F

This is for raw bacon

F

You know what I'm saying? Except for turkey bacon

That ain't real bacon

And it don't taste good

Tastes like paper

Cardboard

paper

I wish I should have taste that

Coming up next

Turkey bacon

But nutrition

It got to be a F

Stay away from it if you want to

I'm not going to

Neither is my family

So, we choose the hard way

Um, but tastewise

So, first thing first, before I taste it, it says thick cut bacon

I've had many

thick cut bacons

This ain't one of them

This is like a normal slice of bacon that you would get at a grocery store

Like, this is not the thick cut that you get sometimes like this

This is just as paper thin as a normal slice

So, it's not really thick cut

And when you get it, it's like par cooked

They

want you to microwave it just to get it hot and crispy

That threw me off, too

Um, didn't lose none of the bacon flavor

Um, taste, I mean, it's bacon

What do you want me to say? If you had it, you either love it or you don't like it

But most people love bacon

A+ on taste

My

tip on this is the only reason to buy this product is because it fits into a lifestyle

So, this has to be a something that stays in the refrigerator at work in your offices that your you may have a lot of people come in

You got fruit for them

You can put bacon up

there for them

Like you got pre-done eggs from um Starbucks

This is a good product for that

Um but I mean cooking bacon people, it's simple

You get more bang for your buck

I mean, get a bacon tray, throw it in the microwave, oven it if you need to

But I would say overall I'd give this

bacon product I mean give it a a C

And the reason why I give it a C is because I'm not for sure you need it in life

You know what I'm saying? I think you may want it, but I'm not for sure you need it

Um, tastes like bacon, look like bacon

Price point not as good as

bacon

And you don't get as much bacon as you normally get when you buy bacon

So that's why I gave it a C

But it is what it is

If I was a doctor in my doctor's offices, this would be in there because that's all we got is a microwave and we want to give people some breakfast

So, it is what it is

You let

me know what you want to see

DM us

Super Chef versus Supermarket

We will be coming to a grocery store near you soon

You heard it right

We will be pulling up at a grocery store and doing this inside of one

So, y'all get ready for that

DM me

Let me know what you want to see.
