Years ago, Chef Lisa Fernandes made miso maple bacon on Top Chef, and the judges didn't just like it, they raved about it. And I love miso. And bacon. I don't really love maple, but I can roll with it when needed. And, it makes sense for this recipe. This isn't Fernandes' recipe, but it's a close approximation.
