Bagels, distinct in their own right, will always have their own special place in the iconic breakfast zeitgeist. Not only is it an easy and portable carbohydrate, but they keep you full and satisfied with their dense and chewy crust for hours at a time. Bacon, independently, has a similar place in the breakfast Hall of Fame. It’s eternally versatile and can be added to just about anything for an extra fatty crunch. It’s densely, savory and easily one of the most satisfying flavors.

The two have long been in concert with each other, as well, through breakfast plates and bacon, egg and cheese bagels alike. But, what if you didn’t have to fuss with the bagel whatsoever to get the flavor of one of the most iconic bagels in every bite of your morning bacon? Well, one brand is taking bacon innovation to new heights and capitalizing on the everything bagel trend in a way that we here at Sporked can truly appreciate. That’s right, Wright Brand bacon has made an everything bagel crusted bacon and it’s on shelves now. Let’s break it down.
A Grocery Store Staple, Now In Trending Territory
If you’ve ever browsed the aisles of the grocery store that contain prepared meats like hot dogs, deli meat, and bacon, then chances are you’ve seen a pack of Wright Brand bacon before. After all, the company itself has a legacy of producing for American families for over 100 years now, and they’ve been kicking up the innovation in their 104th year of producing high-quality meat.
This bacon, in particular, follows suit with most of their other bacon products in the sense that it is made using authentic smokehouse methods. No liquid smoke is used as a substitute for the real thing, and the deep, real wood smoke flavor is what the brand says makes it “unmistakably delicious.”
But again, their bringing this long legacy of excellence into the modern day through the launch of a new flavor, the Everything Bagel Seasoned Thick Cut Bacon. This launch follows their previous limited-edition release of Hot Honey Flavored Thick Cut Bacon that’s still on shelves and displays a similar effort to mix it up. After all, what’s the point of making something so well for such a long time if it doesn’t afford you the ability to play around with new flavors and ideas.
Why Has No One Thought Of This Before?
Plus, the idea of crusting bacon in everything bagel seasoning is just genius. The flavors lend themselves so perfectly to each other. It’s fatty, densely savory, and rich with that onion and garlic flavor that everyone loves so much from an everything bagel. And they’ve chosen to make this bacon without sesame seeds and totally gluten free, so everyone can enjoy this new combination. We can’t wait to pick up a pack of this bacon for ourselves for the ultimate breakfast bite.
