One Paula Deen acknowledgement, Bacon in the oven is a little more time consuming, but well worth it!
I think its more to do with the current "Let's focus on Regional Cuisine!" Mind you, we had a North Carolina native who, every year, would cook grits for the Palm Sunday breakfast ... and admitted when I asked what they even tasted like, she said - well, something between cream of wheat and wallpaper paste ... the point is more the butter you put on it" so I was never convinced to try it. I never even ate Cream of Wheat when Ma made it, oatmeal for me, thanks!

We both prefer bacon microwaved, it gets crispy and is not messy if one uses enough paper towel. I cannot imagine being patient enough to bake bacon and get it crispy.
