the bacon slicer

In just the two short months that we have been open, I have been asked many a time about the juice on our menu called the Bacon Slicer.  Why is it called that?  Does it actually have bacon in it?  Well for one, it most definitely DOES NOT have bacon in it.  In fact one thing that I don't mention often enough is that our menu is completely vegan.  Raw vegan to be exact.  So no, no bacon.  

A Bacon Slicer is a train or railroad term.  In fact all of the menu items for the most part are named after railroads or railroad terminology.  A Bacon Slicer is a British slang term for a specific type of Cut-off which is a device used on a steam locomotive to close the steam valve and conserve steam.  Here is a photo of a gentleman 'prepping a bacon slicer'.  When I first saw the term Bacon Slicer I knew that it had to be the name for our green juice which is made of Greens, Apples, Lemon and Ginger.  The why is because greens are ridiculously good for you!  And me!  I once heard someone refer to greens as a 'bullet proof vest' for meats, meaning it's the best thing to eat with meat because it aids in its digestion.  It cuts the fat, or in this case it slices the bacon (without harming any animals!)  

So please, drop on by at one of our events and try one out, it is by far the most requested juice on the menu.  A Bacon Slicer is a great start or end to your day.  It is also a great way to get in your greens if you haven't already got them in.  We have so far managed to only use local greens and apples in them and hope to continue to do so.  If you are looking for a kick in the pants, delicious drink, try our Bacon Slicer!
