Bon Appétit's epic new grilling tome, aptly named The Grilling Book, is a volume of unbelievable barbecue recipes you simply have to see for yourself. And until you do, we're publishing a few of the standouts, grilled bacon being among them.

Yes, you can throw bacon on a grill, just like they do at the famed Peter Luger Steakhouse in Brooklyn. The key is to use slab bacon. Have your butcher cut 1/4-inch-thick slices for you, or buy a hunk and slice it yourself. Then grill till crisp and serve it with sweet horseradish sauce. We've developed our own take on that condiment here, though you could also buy the real Luger version online.
