Skillet (formerly Skillet Street Food) is a Seattle gourmet burger van that specializes in bacon jam. It has been described as a restaurant on wheels.[2] In 2011, they opened a diner in Seattle.[3]
Skillet has been listed among America's top portable kitchens[4] and is well known for their bacon jam.[5] To create the consistency required for the jam, creator Josh Henderson focuses on the bacon fat and the reduced down vinegar and onion all cooking in one pot, which requires regular skimming.[6] Skillet's jam has received a generally positive reception, with a flavor of pulled pork. A "Taste Test" review suggested "...the grilled cheese with bacon jam was the best-received Taste Test item in the feature’s storied history."[7] Skillet closed its food trucks but continues to operate in restraints and diners as of 2024.[8]
