The bacon wrap is a response to the area of the sides on a filet. Any cut will lose juices through a side not seared. The fact that the filet has a big percentage of side to top and bottom means if will also lose more than most. The oil from the bacon helps block this. The filet can vary in flavor depending on where it comes from. The one from the T Bone isn't as favorable as the one from the porterhouse.
