I have given this place 3 chances and it still disappoints me. The food is subpar, the ambiance is terrible and the servers are rude. I was there a few weeks back and my friends and I after a night out were reminiscing and our waitress was the biggest snob listening into our conversation and giving her opinion. She was rude enough to the point we almost walked out before our food, after a 45 minute wait, was even served. This place won’t last long in old town. With mediocre food at best, slow service and rude employees there are too many other great spots in old town people will venture to.

There is nothing better than trying to piece together the night before over brunch with friends. Bacon is a great place to go this. We had to wait forever for our server to stop by our table, and even had some other servers stop by and ask if our server had been over. We were dying for a drink of water so(finally) the head server came over and ended up taking over our table service. We had no trouble with service after that and even got our drinks topped off on the house. That said, the food and drinks were fabulous if you like greasy traditional American brunch. We got mimosas and the house specialty Bacon Bloody Mary. It was one of the best BMs that I have ever had due to the hint of bacon(yum!) and thick tomato juice. You could barely taste the vodka, but make no mistake, it was there. I asked for mine to be extra spicy, which it wasn’t. So, I had to just add some Tabasco at the table. For food, I got the BLT with eggs. Fabulous. Not overloaded with mayo, and excellent proportions. My friend got 2 eggs in a hole, which she let me try. They use a special bread(Challah maybe), which in my opinion, really makes the dish delicious. I didn’t try the other dishes that my friends got, but they seemed very satisfied. They got the protein pancakes with the blueberry sauce and the breakfast burrito with a side of grilled jalapenos and homemade salsa.

I really, really wanted to love Bacon… but…it just wasn’t the whole hog for me. First of all, you can’t fault the décor. The interior is fresh and fun, and thankfully it lacks the typical grandma’s-kitchen-circa-1955 look that so many breakfast joints seem to love. The look is clean and modern, with a farmhouse edge that works perfectly. 4 stars for ambiance. The service, unfortunately, wasn’t quite so fresh and fun. Here’s where the disappointment starts. I had to ask for a cup of coffee three times — there were only a few tables when I was there, so no excuse for not remembering. The third time, the server told me that he had told his bus boy to get it already, but that he would go ahead and make the coffee for us… thanks, I think? One of my biggest pet peeves with customer service is making an excuse when something doesn’t go correctly. If the guy had just said that he had spaced out, I wouldn’t be writing this at all. Don’t blame your bus boy because you’re too busy flirting with the hostess to pour a cup of coffee. Next, the food. It’s just okay. Off the bat, I felt that the menu was pretty limited. Presenting guests with a smörgåsbord of options isn’t necessary, but Bacon’s menu is short and stingy, in my view. I ordered the yogi omelette, which includes egg whites, mushrooms and broccoli. I wasn’t expecting much out of a cheese-free option, so no complaints about my own food. The veggies were fresh and I actually liked the cottage cheese and salsa side dish. My friend ordered the BLT and it was fine but, again, nothing to write home about. The potatoes that were served with the BLT were SUPER salty and tasted like they were coated in butter. I love butter and salt, but this was over the top. The meal was okay at best, nothing extraordinary. I was left wanting more, and wishing that we had just gone to a reliable standby, rather than venturing out of our way to Bacon.

This place is way over priced for regular breakfast food. Might as well go to Denny’s for half the price. Even the bacon(namesake) was not even thick cut bacon. It wasn’t burnt I guess. And why do they have hershey bags everywhere? I didn’t see any chocolate on the menu… Oh, and they have a strict lunch can only be ordered after 11(?) policy. It was 1040 when we ordered… that’s pretty harsh.

Time flies when you’re having fun… It’s been almost a full year since my initial review of Bacon, and I’ve been back probably ten times or more. I’ve seen a lot of transition with the employees but I can say that their service has gotten much better since the beginning. The casual atmosphere is right up my alley for a weekend breakfast, and my yogi omelette /protein pancake orders have stayed consistent too. I was there earlier today and while the service was spot-on, I did find a piece of ham in my otherwise veggie omelette — but I overlooked it and enjoyed my meal nonetheless… My husband has been to Bacon even more than i have, and he told me he recently sampled what’s to come on their new lunch menu(think pastrami sandwich). So, go for breakfast, go for lunch, go for a Bloody Mary or a Mimosa… just kick back and enjoy your meal!

Order the BLT Breakfast Sandwich w a Bacon Bloody Mary and you will be so happy you went… I go here almost every Sunday morning after a LONG Saturday night out and leave feeling amazing. It’s not too loud so it’s great for chatting(and a headache), they have magazines for your convenience and TV’s always playing sports or the news. The decore is nice and bright with natural lighting from the North wall of floor to ceiling windows and the skylight in the center of the space. It’s very country cozy, w that blue jean material and red/white checkered fabric. It’s cute. i always order the BLT Breakfast Sandwich because it’s filling and refreshing with the amount of Lettuce and Tomato they put in there. Plus with the 2 eggs and crisp bacon-it’s to die for. they also serve it with these delicious BBQ baked beans and a side of potatoes-Uggh, my mouth is watering just thinking about it. TRYIT. You’ll like it. And don’t be thrown off by the piece of bacon in the bloody mary,(which is made with Clamato juice not tomato juice so you know it’s good) it adds a nice flavor-just be sure you eat it first or set it aside because it’s not so good when it gets soggy. ENJOY!

Our first meal in Scottsdale was at Bacon – and interestingly enough bacon seemed to become the theme of our entire trip. Bacon chocolate chip cookies, bacon brittle, bacon-infused vodka, and bacon Bloody Mary’s? They’re all available somewhere in Scottsdale, but you can find the famous Bacon Bloody Mary here at Bacon. This is a cool space for a breakfast spot, with indoor-outdoor seating and lots of light. Our server, who seemed to be a bit overworked since he was the only waiter, was very friendly and welcoming. We ended up ordering one of their special bacon eggs Benedict with a Mornay sauce to share, plus a side of fruit, and the main reason we’d come here: the Bacon Bloody Mary. While my sweetie was in the restroom, his Bacon Bloody Mary arrived. It looked great, even though Bloody Mary’s are not my thing, with a nice stalk of celery and some pimento-stuffed olives. But something seemed to be missing. Hmm, what could it be? Well, unless the bacon had been blended up along with the other ingredients, it was the BACON that was missing in the BACON Bloody Mary! Bacon FAIL! We mentioned this to our server when he brought our food and he was properly dumbfounded and apologetic – yet he never brought a slice of bacon to garnish the drink, nor did he offer us another Bloody Mary. Huh? He redeemed himself, however, when he brought us a quarter of a fresh pineapple studded with fresh strawberries that we hadn’t ordered. He explained that when he’d seen the pitiful ¼ cup of barely-ripe cantaloupe the chef had put on the pass, he’d said he couldn’t serve just that to us. I’d be willing to try Bacon again when I’m in town next, especially since they included a $ 5 off coupon with our check, but neither the food nor the service stood out on this visit.

I’m in love. Bacon you have my heart and my stomach. After all– where else does everything come with one of my favorite foods attached to it? Even my Bloody Mary had a slice of crisp bacon in it along with a celery spear, olives and onions. Probably one of the best Bloody Mary’s I have had in awhile. The location is a little off the beaten path which is why, I think, people are lined up to get in the Breakfast Club a couple of blocks away for mediocre food, and here at Bacon– the food and service is better and there was no line on the Sunday I was there. I was seated in what they call«the nook» located on the side where I had full view of the restaurant. The menu was well organized and entrees come with toast and breakfast potatoes and your choice of a side of bacon or ham. You can also substitute fresh tomatoes if that is your wish. The food came up quickly and was delicious! My ham and cheese omelet was perfectly done(all melted cheese and ham inside and firm eggs on the outside) and the side of bacon was crisp and tasty. Given the size, this easily was a 4 egg omelet. Breakfast with drinks ran about $ 20 which was cheap for all the food I got. But I would be remiss if I didn’t talk about what really blew me away about this place. It’s the fantastic service! Everyone seems to be part of a larger team. I was greeted by one person, seated by another and had at least three servers taking care of me. And countless people stopped by to ask how things were, if I needed more water for my tea, or if I wanted more preserves for my toast. It was unbelievable! While they have been open for 9 months– they had the staff of a place that has been open much longer. The ambiance is contemporary but is warmed up by the blue booths, checkered table cloths, and some mismatched dining tables in the center that can be expanded for larger groups. There are also antique food cases lining the walls filled with tins of chocolate, and other food«cues». I also liked that they have those«roll up» doors on the one side that bring the outdoors in and seats outside on those perfect days. If I lived in Scottsdale– this would be my «go to» brunch place. What I don’t get is why people are waiting in line at a place around the corner that left me a little cold. C’mon people. If you haven’t checked Bacon out– you should. After all– what’s not to like about, Bacon?

I’ve given this place 3 trys. Bacon struck out 3 times. You know what they say… its 3 strikes and yoouuuurrree out!!! Every time the kitchen is SUPER slow and every time, something was wrong with the order. One late Sunday, we(2 ppl) waited 45 minutes for our food. The restaurant was NOT even busy at this hour. I was starving! Wait! On top of that, the servers suck!!! Two out of my three experiences included sucky service! They don’t know the menu, they forget stuff, get the order wrong, neglect you… etc… To make it worse, the food simply isn’t all that great and definitely not creative. You know those places where the food is so damn good(IE Breakfast Club) that the long wait is worth it? Or an overwhelmed server is forgiven? Yeah! But not the case here. They really need to step up their game. Especially in this economy! OMG! I almost forgot to mention their incredibly overpriced alcoholic beverages! The location is great. Has a ton of potential ONLY if they revamp the service and the food.

I first heard about Bacon through Unilocal but kind of forgot about it after my first exclamation of, «This place sound great! I’m definitely going to brunch it up here.» Then when I was driving around Scottsdale we went right past it and my excitement to give it a shot returned with avengence. I don’t live in Scottsdale but am there frequently, and I am glad that the trend of brunch restaurants is catching on. We went on a Sunday around 10:30 a.m. and only had to wait about 5 minutes for a table. The place is really open with lots of sky lights and floor-to-ceiling windows that open up in the front of the restaurant. We were seated in the back corner but still got lots of natural light and felt part of the patron community. Unfortunately, we were seated next to a table of six people who were very loud/drunk and were there to party and watch football… which is weird. I split one of the protein whole wheat pancakes as an appetizer and it ended up being my favorite part of the meal, it was sweet and filling. Then I went with the mexican omelet(egg whites with pico de gallo, avocado, cheese, salsa) which was huge and I could only eat half. You could tell it was just whipped up and had all super fresh ingredients. It came with fruit(that was mostly finely chopped melon, aka filler fruit) and very yummy toast with blackberry jam. The owner’s family was sitting right behind us and it was nice to see how he interacted with them, and how they interacted with the staff… like one big happy family. He was walking around the restaurant the entire time, helping out where needed and talking to customers, which is something that I really appreciate. He also stopped by and gave us a sample of the best apple fritter I’ve ever tasted yet they do not have on the menu… which was random but most welcomed.

I met a girlfriend for brunch on Saturday morning at Bacon. The restaurant is open and airy inside with a cute little bar. I sat at the bar since almost every table was occupied when I arrived around 11 am. The bartender, Mary Ann, was such a sweetheart and we chatted quite a bit while I waited on my friend. My friend and I both had a mimosa(seriously it’s not brunch without one!) which was almost $ 9 each. Now granted you do get a little bottle Korbel so basically you are getting two mimosas for the price of 1, but with other Valley restaurants offering $ 1 – 3 mimosas at brunch, I thought Bacon was overpriced. It took us some time to decide what to eat since there were so many delicious sounding choices on the menu. My friend decided on the three egg breakfast, while I decided to try the breakfast burrito. I wish the food had lived up to how delicious it sounded on the menu. My burrito was average and I wish the bacon in the burrito had been cooked a bit more, but the real killer was the potatoes. I love breakfast potatoes, but these were a real dud. They weren’t even cooked all the way and were too greasy for my taste. For our two mimosas and two entrees, our bill came to $ 35. For the price, I was just not impressed with the quality. While I will give Bacon a second try, I will not be racing back since there are better brunch options in the Valley.

Bacon makes everything better. I know vegetarians who long for thick, salty slab of bacon. Crumbled on salads. Nestled between smoked turkey and baby Swiss. In potato salad. Reveered pastry chef Tracy Dempsey is famous for her bacon brittle. Yep. Even in candy. Bacon! Rejoice! So, needless to say I was excited to eat at Bacon. When we arrived I was loving the open, airy room with a bar straight ahead and lots of table options from booths to high tops. The doors were open and a lovely breeze entertained the room. But I got that vibe. Like we just arrived after some crazy ass rush. And I was correct. We waited a bit for our server to arrive, busied ourselves with a New York Times(for me) and a March issue of W Magazine(for Rickie… go figure!). We overheard a couple at the bar mention they’d been waiting 45 minutes for their food. UGH! I was ready to gnaw on the table I was so hungry. Well, we placed our order and received it within 15 minutes. And. It. Was delicious! Eggs Benedict(for me) and the Mr. Big(for Rickie… go figure!) did not disappoint. In lieu of Canadian bacon, I had a thick slab of ham… a little too much for the dish… but no major complaint. Everyone from the hostess, the GM and the bartenders and servers were very friendly. Though I felt for them, as brunch is THE hardest shift in the business. I always equated brunch(at least when I lived in West Hollywood) as hungover guests being served by hungover waiters. Dicey vibe baby. Can’t wait to return to Bacon. Hoping, however, they up the OJ from a Sunny D like product to freshly squeezed.

Poutine… a single word that can convey so much meaning! If you are a Canadian, the words and melody from«O Canada» begin to ring in your ears, as your chest swells with pride and you think, of all the Canadian exports… Gretzky, Oil… Pamela Anderson… this is the best:) If you are cardiac surgeon, you smile as contemplate your next Porsche, purchased with the fees received for the double, triple and quadruple bypass operations you will be able to perform on Poutine lovers:) If you are the folks at Bacon, you apparently think«what can we add to this to make it even«healthier»:-) The Beautiful Carin and I took our lovely daughter, Whitney, to Bacon for breakfast this morning. Neither had been there and this was good chance for them to give it a try:) They had the«Yogi»…not named for the bear and the Yogi does not include a «pic-a-nic basket»:) The Yogi is an incredibly healthy vegi and egg white omelet, that they both professed to really love:) Carin says this place stays in the rotation, so I know she was happy:) And when Carin is happy, I am happy:) I was almost transformed into a semi-vegetarian just by my proximity to their breakfast entrees! Fortunately, I saw«The Hangover» on the menu and I was saved:) The Hangover has a base of Poutine(french fries and popcorn cheese, covered in gravy:)…so bad, yet sooooo good:) What they do then is magical… they throw ham and bacon on top of the poutine and then slide 3 over easy eggs on top of that:-) I don’t know who the genius was, that invented this little breakfast miracle, but I want to shake his or her hand before I have my coronary:) Sunday morning… no wait… great service today and everything was tasty and fresh! Tell me again why there’s line at Breakfast Club?

My pregnant wife(The Vessel) demands pancakes on Sundays and after each Dr visit. She seems to be booking a lot of Dr visits. As usual, Original Pancake House(OPH) was f’ing packed. Too hot to wait outside. We’ve driven/biked past Bacon a few 100 times since we live close by and kept meaning to try it. Unlike most times we try someplace new, we decided to forego Unilocal first and not pre-taint our experience. With a name like Bacon, we knew the reviews would be polarized, regardless of what the place was like. AMBIANCE It’s late June and summer has finally kicked in with a vengeance. A little freaked out that 2 of the 4 walls were opened to the outside, when it was hot as balls. But once inside, instantly charmed. It’s like you’re transported to a little breakfast joint in Sonoma. Comfy, clean, spacious, modern, homey, welcoming… unexpected in Old Town. Looked like some money was put into it; yet retained a one-off feel, as opposed to a corporate smell. Lots of real wood, chalkboard paint, galvanized metal and food service sized cans on display. I hope the AC bill doesn’t put them out of business. SERVICE The young staff was attentive, friendly and timely. They engaged as much as you cared too, but weren’t heavily scripted. Not completely relaxed and smooth like only years of food life can bring, but competent. FOOD Eggs Benedict is my benchmark for my first time at any breakfast place. Although the menu had tons of things I look forward to exploring, I had to benchmark it. Apparently they were out of canadian bacon, so they subbed a delicious slab of grilled country ham. The scale was a bit off, heavy on the ham side, but it was fantastic breakfast ham and the Benedict was excellent. You could actually taste the English Muffin and it was perfectly toasted. Great, from scratch Hollandaise, not too tart or salty. The Vessel’s French Toast was excellent too. Warm blueberry sauce was the clincher. And the side of bacon was perfect, meaty and balanced between sweet and salty. Definitely cooked to order in our case it wasn’t dried out. The home fries were unlike anything I’ve had for breakfast. Almost like oven-roasted potatoes you’d get with a pork roast. Loved em. BOTTOMLINE Now after reading the previous reviews, it seems as if the appropriate asses were kicked or replaced. Everything was competent at a minimum, and mostly excellent. Great to welcome a cool, fresh, inviting breakfast joint to Old Town, since OPH is obscenely busy whenever we want to go, Breakfast Club is obscenely mediocre now and the other alternatives are either corporate or suck. Looking forward to exploring the menu. And since they have a full bar that can take advantage of how the place opens up, they are going to be open at night once the weather gets nicer. Yay, drunk biking. Thanks Bacon! Thanks for transporting us outside of nuclear hot summertime Scottsdale. Until Café Monarch reopens in the Fall, you might just be our sole go-to breakfast spot in Scottsdale :-D

If you want to get someplace on time and you want me to find it you need to allow for some getting lost time. GPS was invented for guys like me and I don’t happen to own one. In addition to finding this place I had been asked to find another place as well for future reference. So after 3 trips around Scottsdale Mall(which really needs one of those map thingies) I found the first place and off I went on foot for Bacon. Using Google I had picked out exactly where the building should be and walked right past it and by the time I crossed the bridge I was getting worried. So I went a ways down 5th and still didn’t see it so I headed back the way I came knowing I had a couple of other options for breakfast. The sign over the door is much easier to spot heading south. Bacon shares an address with Devils Martini and in fact may be dual usage of the same space. I know there were Devils Martini placards on the tables. If they do share the same space it would explain why it looks more like a bar/lounge inside than a coffee shop. In any event I walked past it the first time without looking close because the building and parking signs I saw first said Devils Martini. I didn’t think to ask the question so maybe somebody will fill this West Valley person in with the answer. In any event the easiest way to find it is to look for Vidal Sasoon and Bacon is across the street. I was greeted quickly walking in the door and I took a high top with a view out the window. The person who seated me got my orange juice and soon Tori, my server, came to take my order. I ordered the first thing I saw that included gravy and potatos. I think it was called the Big Pig($ 9.50, I could be wrong on the name) and when it came that is sure what I felt like(see picture). 3 eggs, 3 bacon, 3 sausages, ham, potatoes with gravy, baked beans with more bacon, fruit cup and a large English muffin. More like a breakfast for 2 and if I had had a phone number for somebody I saw shortly afterward I would have offered. In total volume I managed to finish off about ¾ of it. Food. I had no problems with the quality of any of it. Overall it was very good. The orange juice was about ½ ice cubes which was fine at the start but very watered down tasting by the end of the meal. Subjective to my taste buds the German style sausages did not deliver, I thought they were too fatty/liquidy and lacked any real flavor. Service. Tori waited on me hand and foot without being intrusive. I did not have my camera with me and she showed me how to make the one in my phone work. Looking around all the customers seemed pleased to be there. One of the nice things about eating in the first wave before the crowds arrive is nobody has had a chance to ruin the servers day so everybody is pleasant.

We were looking for a place to grab brunch last Sunday morning in Old Town, and stumbled on this place. «Bacon»? I said«Oh that’s not a restaurant, it’s some sort of upscale massage parlor with a funky name», but she made me stop. I LOVE the way that this place feels inside-Jospeh Eichler would approve. And so do I! It’s a low-slung midcentury modern interior mixed with some tasteful homespun artifacts to remind you that you are there for comfort food. The coffee is great– the food is well, «OK», but honestly, the place feels so nice and relaxing and the staff is so cool that I think it makes you want to party– INTHEMORNING! I saw as many people drinking Mimosas and Bloody Mary’s as I did eating! This will be a great place to bring out-of-town guests, but If the kitchen ever catches up with the ambience you won’t be able to get a seat there on the weekend.

It is quite possible that the Proprietors have seen the reviews because my experience was significantly better than those described before me. We actually ventured out on Mother’s Day, expecting the worst, and were generally pleased. We were seated immediately. I was a little turned off by the décor(which I know does not a restaurant make, but hey, I am allowed my opinion). I said to those who were with me, «It reminds me of a modern Cracker Barrel,» if you can imagine that. I was further puzzled by the three televisions… I know many people cannot live without television, but I am not one of them. Breakfast and sports news aren’t my thing. Anyway, we were all pleased with the food. I will say that I was offended that the food was not all brought to the table at once. The minute or more I had to wait for my entrée after the others were already served seemed like a lifetime! What I was impressed with was that 1) the Manager/Owner/Proprietor came to the table to ask about the food and the service, and 2) the waitress offered me another juice and then offered to give it to me in a glass to go(no additional charge). They are new and likely making adjustments on a daily basis, so I’ll give it another shot.

As a big breakfast lover I was pretty excited when I found out there was a new breakfast place opening with a name as great as Bacon. I figured with a name like that it’s gotta be good right? I was wrong. Maybe they have the Swine flu. My boyfriend and I went to Bacon last Sunday for breakfast. I ordered the scrambled eggs with(what else) bacon, potatoes and an english muffin. Boyfriend had french toast. It took FOREVER to get our food. At least 2 tables who sat down after us got their food before we did. When we finally did get our food, mine was cold. The eggs were pretty good but the potatoes were cold and blah and the bacon was thin and just okay. If you’re gonna call your place Bacon you should have the best bacon ever! Not the case. Matt’s Big Breakfast has much better bacon. At the end of our meal one of the employees came over and apologized for our long wait time and presented us with coupons and invited us to come back. I was pleasantly surprised until I looked at the coupons and realized they expired at the end of April, which at the time was 4 days away! Gee, thanks Bacon! I won’t be going back.

With a name like BACON it better be good! I saw this place a couple weeks ago and thought I’d go give it a try. I liked the inside, it was pretty casual with big comfy denim booths and red checker table cloths. They serve breakfast and lunch, the menu looked good(not that actual menu mind you, it was just a sloppily thrown together piece of photocopied paper). I was hoping for the best. So they don’t have diet coke… I order the BLT+2 fried eggs breakfast sandwich,(see pics) The menu says its served with home fries and baked beans… I got no beans. Everything looked wonderful as you can see… The potatoes were awful and I was bummed, they tasted very very old. Seriously what’s your name again BACON? I should be biting into the tastiest most succulent bacon to ever grace the lips of anyone but unfortunately this BACON was the most flavorless lackluster BACON on the planet. The whole sandwich was just so bland, I found myself reaching for the salt shaker and I NEVER put salt on my food. Oh and Please don’t put old soggy tomatoes on my sandwich again, Thanks. I hadn’t eaten after my workout and a few errands I had to run so I obviously ate the sandwich, not the potatoes though, but I Still cant get over the fact of how it had no flavor. For now I’ll have to say 2.5 stars, like the old saying goes, you never get a second chance to make a first impression. But to be fair I would possibly go again and try something from the lunch menu because honestly this place has tons of potential and room for improvement, I hope they succeed

It’s a puzzlement to me as to why this place is called Bacon. When I think of a restaurant called Bacon, I think of bacon all over the walls, bacon for water, bacon ice cubes, cooks and wait staff sweating slabs of bacon and the smell of bacon as thick as concrete… I’m thinking maybe the name«Bacon,» is a joke. It’s not Bacon & Co. or The Bacon Restaurant; it’s just called Bacon. One word. Five fattening letters. Bacon. I stopped in out of morbid curiosity. I never would have seen the place if not for a guy dressed in a pig suit with a sign that said, «Now Open for Breakfast and Lunch,» so I finally got around to stopping in to test the waters. The first thing I noticed is that the interior is pretty comfortable. I really liked its design. There were comfy, squishy couches to sit on and a separate counter with a coffee and tea bar. I ended up getting a sandwich called The Chick. I can’t remember everything that was in it, but it was really, really good. It had chicken, some red sauce, some sort of stinky italian cheese(might have been parmesan, but I wouldn’t testify to that effect). It was good. The fries it came with were good. Shit, even the cole slaw was good and I think cole slaw is a slimy, nasty mistake to serve as a side. Yeah, their cole slaw was kind of fruity and tangy. I really liked it. The more I think about it, the more I like the fact that this place is called Bacon. They serve a vegetarian sandwich. It’s sort of like when your friend tells you that their other friend«Chainsaw» is a really cool guy. You think, His name is Chainsaw? What the fuck kind of name is that? But then when you meet Chainsaw, he’s a reserved, very intelligent guy who likes the same movies as you. Bacon.
