A soaking? Probably not.
Bacon is mostly fat, and I don't really think fat absorbs liquid like you want it to.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brining
The brine surrounding the cells has a higher concentration of salt than the fluid within the cells, but the cell fluid has a higher concentration of other solutes. This leads salt ions to enter the cell via diffusion, whilst the solutes in the cells cannot diffuse through the cell membranes into the brine. The increased salinity of the cell fluid causes the cell to absorb water from the brine via osmosis.
I'd imagine that since bacon is already salted, it probably has a higher salt content than the buttermilk and won't really be absorbed. i could be completely wrong about that, mind you. You'd probably end up making bacon flavored buttermilk rather than the other way around.
A dipping would probably be just as good, because you still get the layer that stays on the bacon.
I would say dip in buttermilk, dip in flower, dip in egg, dip in flower again. That's what I would try, but admittedly my experience with fried chicken is not the greatest.
But only kind of, amiright?
I just saw a guy on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives make what I would call Thanksgiving dumplings -- turkey, potato and stuffing mushed into a ball and deep-fried, then served with gravy. Why the fuck is this not at every restaurant?
I don't really know, but I'm hoping it's because nobody wants to endorse recipes formulated by a douchebag.
BTW, entire thread, fried candy bars are a let down. They don't taste better or different, they just taste like you wrapped your melted chocobar in a crepe.

Probably some pansy-ass, liberal law involving the restaurant's proximity to Emergency Rooms...

I don't think it would taste any different, but I think TEXTURE would be much better.
Soft and melty vs. normal candy bar.
I don't know. I had a bite of a deep friend Oreo at a BBQ fest once and I would much rather be eating the normal Oreo.
Agreed. Deep-fried Twinkies and Oreos suck.
I don't know how unusual this is, but an Italian place I frequent has something they call the Panzerotti, which is like a calzone except it's fried instead of baked, then covered with marinara. It's really delicious.
I've always wanted to try one of those hot dogs that are split, filled with cheddar cheese and then wrapped in bacon and deep fried. I saw that on some TV show once but don't think I've ever seen it on a menu, and I'm not about to try it myself.
Your attitude is a bit much for a thread on deep-fried bacon.

Guy Fieri doesn't formulate any of the recipes on Triple D -- he visits restaurants and watches chefs/cooks make their own dishes, then he eats them and makes hyperbolic statements using charming surfer dude lingo. So you don't know whAT THE FUCK YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
Has this turned into a deep fried thread?
Supplì al telefono and Carciofi all giudia!
I also experienced a deep fried Snickers at a recent fair and fried Twinkies at a local Filipino funnel cake store and both were deliciously served with ice cream, strawberries and whip cream.
Are you anti-SanFrancisky burritos??
WE DON'T TAKE KINDLY TO THAT KIND OF BURRITO BASHING, SIR.

i think it's one of those old board feuds that only three people remember. like parentheses vs. tinytype.
i'll cop to the ease of the parentheses over tinytype.

but as to the original topic, i was watching bizarre foods on the travel channel where andrew zimmern was in texas at a fair and, while discussing the various fried oddities, i noticed a sign for chicken fried bacon in the background. disappointingly, he did not eat any.
just imagine the kind of vomiting after eating some chicken fried bacon and then washing it all down with some bacon flavored vodka... drizzle a bit of bacon drippings in there for you nnf fans.
