Explore Big Sky 2014 Gift & Gear Guide

By Tyler Allen, Explore Big Sky Bacon (by Tyler Allen of Explore Big Sky) Give the gift that keeps on giving this holiday season. Tender Belly's Bacon Every Month Club will satiate the pork lovers on your gift list with 4 pounds of fine, cherrywood-smoked bacon delivered to your doorstep once a month. The Denver, Colorado-based Tender Belly feeds its pigs a diet that's 100 percent vegetarian with no hormones or antibiotics. I cooked up a few slices of the Tender Belly Habanero Dry-Rub for my office mates on a snowy, mid-November morning in Big Sky, and the reviews were glowing. "Bacon of the month club? Best gift over." - Joseph T. O'Connor "Just the right thickness, Tender Belly's Dry Cured Maple Bacon is a great combination of slightly sweet and salty, with a hint of maple. The cherrywood smoke adds good flavor but isn't overwhelming as some smoked bacons can be. Great for BLTs, breakfast sammies with avocado, and crumbled on top of mac 'n' cheese." - Megan Paulson $59/month
