As rising inflation persists, and consumers focus on taste and value from their favourite restaurants, chefs and operators work to offer delicious, memorable experiences that will have guests coming back for more. Research shows that 58 per cent of diners consider value for their money when choosing a restaurant, and 56 per cent prioritize the quality of food. Today’s restaurant guests want value, speed, and convenience, and HORMEL® BACON 1™ Brand delivers on those expectations.
Products like HORMEL® BACON 1™ Perfectly Cooked Bacon can separate your restaurant’s menu from the rest, offering a robust flavour that comes from being smoked over a blend of real hardwoods, including Applewood chips. It’s a fully cooked bacon that looks and tastes like it’s cooked from raw every single time it’s served.
In 2024, almost 55 per cent of restaurants offered bacon on menus, dressing up salads, adding dimension to burgers, enhancing appetizers, and everything in between. Elevating your menu with superior ingredients can help differentiate your dishes, offering your guests unique and memorable dining experiences with higher perceived value.
HORMEL® BACON 1™ Perfectly Cooked Bacon is thick and meaty, crafted so that once it’s heated, customers get the best bacon experience, no matter how you serve it. Traditional bacon can be crumbly, but HORMEL® BACON 1™ Brand stands out in the marketplace as a superior product with chefs. “It’s so easy to use; we take out what we need and in 4 minutes, it’s ready to serve, and I don’t have to worry about it breaking,” says Chef D, of ‘ChefD TV.’ “It also helps save time in the kitchen with a super simple cleanup.”
Along with simplifying kitchen operations, HORMEL® BACON 1™ Perfectly Cooked Bacon adds a distinct, premium taste to restaurant dishes. “This bacon is nothing like other fully cooked bacon options I’ve tried. It packs more smoky taste and can be easily incorporated in a variety of applications,” said Chef D.
A well-crafted menu can increase restaurant traffic, build your brand, and take dining to another level. A winning menu is more than just a list of dishes; it reflects a restaurant’s standards, vision, and culinary style. Today’s consumers are looking to satisfy their cravings for delicious dining and memorable restaurant experiences, and HORMEL® BACON 1™ Perfectly Cooked Bacon helps chefs and operators create standout dishes that will have guests coming back for more.
