I just discovered this was a thing at a restaurant called “Smoke” in Tulsa Oklahoma.

Now I wish to repeat the experience at home. There are no shortage of recipes on the internet, just curious if any of my fellow Dopers have a preference.

Thanks.

Here’s how I’ve done it before:  
-Cook bacon and set aside.  
-Cook onions in the grease until caramelized.  
-Add fresh figs and cook until jammy. I bet you could soak some dried figs in bourbon and use that instead.  
-Add some bourbon and cook down.  
-Crumble the bacon and add it back.

Fantastic with crackers and goat cheese.
