Behind the Scenes: Making Lockwood's Baconfest-Winning Slow-Poached Egg with Bacon Hash

[Photographs: Roger Kamholz]

At this year's Baconfest Chicago, held on April 20, chef Joseph Rose of Lockwood took home one of the coveted Golden Rasher awards for most creative use of bacon at the event's lunch session. Beating out a tough field that included chefs from Browntrout, Untitled, and Barn & Company, Rose won with an Asian-flavored take on the classic combination of bacon and eggs: a slow-poached egg with bacon-and-onion hash, bacon dashi, and nori flakes.

At Baconfest, Rose presented his creation in cups (shown above), so that attendees could down all the ingredients at once, in one shot. "The whole point was to beat [the egg] up and slurp it down," Rose told me when I recently met up with him in the sprawling kitchen at the Palmer House HIlton, where Lockwood is the principal restaurant. Rose, who came to Lockwood following stints at Sixteen and the Pump Room, graciously walked me through how he prepares this crowd-pleasing dish, which he conceived especially for Baconfest. "We ended up doing about 530 portions with the egg," he added. Once the team's supply of eggs ran out, Rose said, they carried on with the remaining ingredients and served 150 more servings.
