   I struggled for a while to find the belly. I had a buddy that sells veggies from farmers to local restaurants and he promised over and over to hook me up but never came through. Then I got super lucky and found this: www.rolfsporkstore.com My very own local pork paradise! I have my last three pounds of belly in the smoker as we speak... I feel like bacon tonight!!

Zagz are you from the Capital District (NY). Thanks for that link, that gives me another source of bellies.

   Yeah Habs, I'm up in Saratoga. The second you walk in to Rolf's I guarantee you'll be smiling. It's in Arbor Hill of all places! Who'd have thunk it? Where are you in relation to Albany/Saratoga?

I know exactly were that is. I have several relatives that live in Albany, and I spent Christmas day in Albany visiting. It's about an hour drive for me, so I will be checking that store out very soon.
