It was 5 years ago that I was introduced to the famous dates served at "Tasty and Son's" here in Portland, Ore. Who knew dates, almonds, bacon, and maple syrup could entice the taste buds with such a flavor explosion. I decided to do my own version, in lieu of bacon I used pancetta, and I umami bombed it with half an anchovy. Heavily inspired by the original, this is sure to be a hit at your next brunch without having to spend half your day in a queue.
