Hormel continues to be a favorite brand for me, one I use often. I’m just rarely let down by any of their products. Thus, it’s not surprising that Hormel Black Label Center Cut Bacon is my favorite bacon brand.
Hormel’s bacon has a nice zest to it. …

Location: The directive of ‘It’s at the Trevi Fountain’ is only half true. The gelateria is actually hidden down a alley a little further away (Via Veneto direction). They also have no signage at the fountain or anywhere else, even the shop barely acknowledges the name, though this makes …
