Are most restaurant BLT's really "sandwiches"?
Forums:
Not talking about your favorite place that makes them with real thick slices of natural organic bacon and designer bread, but your average restaurant that throws 3 or 4 strips of Oscar Mayer bacon on pedestrian bread with a couple of tomato slices, lettuce, mayo, and calls it good.
IMO, there's no substance to most BLT's ... akin to "turkey sandwich" from a restaurant that has only a single thin slice of deli turkey.

I was taught to make them
I was taught to make them years ago by a chef that made us liberally use only hellmans mayo...salt the lettuce, pepper the tomatos...fresh bacon, proper amount only, ..and his exact description was..."if they bite into it, and a lil mayo doesnt creep out the opposite end?...you didnt put enuf on...
Still make em the same way today...at home, in a restaurant kitchen, wherever i may be...
A good BLT is a a Hall Of Fame Sandwich...a bad BLT is, ya know, a bad fckn BLT , which coulda been a contender....
Get some Onya...(with all respect jaz)

The Bacon must be crisp, not
The Bacon must be crisp, not brittle or too flabby. Garden - ripe tomato slices, not cardboard commercial stuff.
Some pig farmer once told me that "Pork Belly Futures" go up in Summer when tomatoes are on the vine and people eat more BLT.
So look into that if you want to speculate in commodities.

The perfect BLT from
The perfect BLT from yesteryear (bday party at the Oregon Coast); Garlic Ciabatta bread with butter toasted in the broiler, garlic / parmesan mayo, fresh romaine and romas, pound of applewood smoked bacon baked in the oven. Sliced up and distributed amongst revelers... it even dripped like a burger (cue homer simpson)

Last trip going coastal made bacon popcorn; where you dice up and cook some bacon, then use the fat for popping the kernals, and then readd the bacon....

I used to be in that HOTV Brew club that the guy in Noodler's photo wears. Had lots of fun at those annual Festivals at the Fairgrounds. There were some really excellent Brewers in that group.

Likely know a bunch of the same people then, as we've (El Kabong Orchestra) have played that festival many times (and other bands i've been in before that), but that goes with being part of the Squirrels crowd (have played 25 Halloween parties there)

This is Hilarious, as the fellow in the photo bears a striking resemblance to a dude who worked at Squirrel's and also played Bass (?) in El Kabong. If that's you, we've indeed met many times.
Nice-looking Sandwich, and you (or he) haven't aged one bit. Good to see the Squirrel's Family people posting here on the board.
