I guess it’s one of those ‘style’ things, where everyone is trying to be more clever than the next guy. But it sounds like it tastes good: the menu calls it ‘Clothesline Candied Bacon (maple and black pepper pickles)’:

I’ll have the duck steak and broccoli rabe, please.
How do you get peppered pickle infused in to the bacon. Marinade in peppered pickle juice or pepperoncini juice? (I always save pickle juice for marinade. Great for potatoes and chicken.)
I don’t know about pickle and maple syrup. If I feel adventurous, I’ll work on it and let you know.
Done bacon baked with brown sugar. Not bad. AT ALL.
