We're sure people smarter than us know what makes the combination of brown sugar and bacon so delectable and a perfect addition to so many dishes and ingredients. We're sure doctors, lawyers, scientists, and intellectuals can theorize and hypothesize why those flavors on delicate sweet scallops melt in the mouth into quivering nirvana. We're sure they can, but what do they know? We're plenty smart enough to know this meal is yummy times twenty, to the tasty degree.
