It’s Taste of Charlotte not Taste of Bacon.

And whatever the meat, don’t wash it.

Fox Charlotte (that’s in North Carolina) interviewed some vendors at the annual Taste of Charlotte, where Mital Naik of the Brazz Steakhouse booth was preparing to feed 5,000 people a sampling of 10 types of meats prepared on a traditional Brazilian grill.

"Today we’re doing filet wrapped in bacon and chicken wrapped in bacon and scallops wrapped in bacon," Naik said.

As Health Officials race against the clock to determine the cause of an E. coli outbreak just hours away in Atlanta, Naik said he’s making sure his high-end steak house’s meat is thoroughly cooked and washed. Naik said, "It’s something you have to think about."

Don’t wash raw meats. Salmonella and other bugs can be sprayed up to 3 feet away by washing. Canadian, American and even British governments all recommend no washing of raw meat. Washing cooked meat may not help with that high-end appeal.
