We all know how well bacon and cheese go together (cue thoughts of juicy bacon cheeseburgers). During Restaurant Week at Taste in the Palisades you can try Applewood Smoked Bacon Mac & Cheese with tomato, crispy shallots and smoked mozzarella, or sink your teeth into the Rum & Molasses Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese sandwich with crispy Anaheim chiles, grilled red onions, aged white cheddar, sourdough bread and tomatillo fresca dipping sauce with a choice of side (and the option of having it on gluten-free bread)! For dinner try the Chili Roasted Scallops with kabocha purée, sea beans and Meyer lemon beurre blanc. Don’t escape without satisfying your sweet tooth with the chocolate brioche bread pudding featuring vanilla bean gelato and crème anglaise.

Lay out your napkin on your lap and tuck into a plate of greens with a choice of The Grille Salad or Iceberg Lettuce Wedge—both items including bacon, because what salad is complete without a little of the good stuff?
