I'm not an egg plant fan, but probably because I have never had it done right. But this does sound interesting!

biggest thing with eggplant is i salt it down and let the salt draw the moisture out. i find it takes out some of the bitterness as well

I think my parents terrorized me with eggplant sticks... those frozen breaded nasty things? I could not stand them and I think that is where my dislike for it started to grow.
