I plan on making a birthday brunch for my mother in a couple of weeks.  She--and my father, and my partner--are meat-eaters.  I am not (duh).  I want to make this as enjoyable as possible for everybody, so I plan on including some "bacon."  I've come across a several great recipes, but I hit a snafu when it comes to the liquid smoke element.  I'm NOT a fan of the weird chemical flavor that accompanies most of the liquid smoke that I've tried--although to be fair, my experience is pretty limited.  I was wondering if anyone had a recommendation for the best liquid smoke to use when making fake-on, as well as any general tips for making it a success--I've never attempted it before!  Thanks in advance
