Center Cut Bacon

[Shel_B]

I don't eat bacon much ... maybe once a year, if that, ergo, I don't know much about bacon.  I do, however, sometimes cook with it, and when I need some bacon for cooking I buy just what I need from one of the nearby butchers or meat markets.  At the most, it's usually it's just two or three strips.

 

That said, I was at Costco recently and noticed that they had two brands of center cut bacon on offer.  The bacon seemed leaner ... more meaty ... than the bacon I typically see.  Is center cut bacon always meatier or leaner?

Centre cut bacon is regular bacon with the fatty ends cut off.  So says America's Test Kitchen.
