Can I say a mixture of both? Is that cheating?
I love it crispy on the sides, but nice and chewy in the middle. Yummy~

Crispy. It's the better option.
However, there are situations where it's just not possible. Like on jalapeno poppers. So....crispy is my preference but I'm fine with chewy in the correct circumstances.

Kinda like my pasta, actually. Firm to where it still has good crispy-ish texture but doesn't shatter, but isn't chewy to the point that I can't actually bite through it without effort.
EDIT: The above only goes for anything that isn't me just straight up eating bacon.

Crispy. The texture of super chewy stuff (i.e. not crispy bacon fat, steak gristle) gives me a gag reflex. Never figured out why; I can stick almost an entire sausage down my throat with no problems but incredibly chewy stuff sets me off.
And because I know there's going to be some curiosity about the sausage remark, I was eating one a few months back when a friend started making sexual comments about it. Naturally, as any sufficiently creepy man would do, I then took the sausage and tried to deep throat it. She and I were both pretty amazed when I actually did it.

I never thought there would be a thread where I could appropriately (but still shamelessly) plug my review of the bacon I had last August [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.306662-Phlakes-Reviews-the-Bacon-He-Had-This-Morning], but here we are.
Anyway, both. I go into it in that review but the wider half of strip should be a bit chewy and the thinner half should be crispier, that way you get that nice contrast and more juiciness from the fattier side.

The only way bacon should ever be soft and chewy is if it's raw, and that's not a good way to eat meat.
