Had another “world’s collide” moment last night.

I was watching “Top Chef” on the DVR.  Commercial break came up and I instinctively hit the fast forward button when suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I see this…

Bacon? Sea of red? Whoa nelly…Rewind!

On second viewing (at regular speed) I find this…

Absolutely brilliant spot!  Just long enough, nice meta moment with Kevin and Padma, Padma’s reaction at the end (oh and how GREAT does she look?), lettuce and tomato sandwich, the music at the end, it’s placement in the first commercial block of this Target themed episode (which included three other new spots)…everything about this was just perfect execution.

My second favorite TV spot of the year so far!  Bravo to Bravo and Target.

First off, I’m a loser…sorry…this old man has found himself fallin’ asleep before 9 pm for three of the last four nights (last night I was at the Red Wings game) so my posts dried up, but we are back once again! I’ll save you the Bacon Academy football recap (they won, but man this team is WAY too inconsistent, and that’s from a Lions fan) and just jump right into the good stuff…

This recipe right out of the Kraft Food & Family email I got today – Bacon Cheeseburger Roll-Ups.
