But unfortuantely when I checked the menu I found out that their kosher bacon was "beef pastrami bacon", which is not what you're looking for. :(<BR/>Good luck!<BR/>-alanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13782978.post-1122312676604417522005-07-25T10:31:00.000-07:002005-07-25T10:31:00.000-07:00Okay, I see it's you, you signed it.
