Food Busker's Cult Food Stories

Order No. 5: Bacon

John’s not happy when he discovers harmful nitrates are being added to bacon. Nobody messes with his beloved bacon! This news sets him on a mission to dry-cure and smoke his own bacon, which involves a trip to River Cottage, a filing cabinet and a well-travelled piece of pork.

There is a unique collection of dishes in
the world that illicit a fervent following
from their devotees. Producing almost
religious veneration in their preparation
and consumption, Cult Foods generate
queues, make restaurants and crash
Instagram. John Quilter aka Food Busker
will take us on a journey to uncover the
history of theses dishes. We’ll hear him
speaking to friends, experts and fans to
find out the whys, the wheres and the
hows in an attempt to unpick the secrets
to creating Cult Food. John will also
attempt to make the dish himself, sharing
any pitfalls, funny mistakes and
successes along the way.
