MoMo’s Ultimate BLT Sammy

with crispy apple wood smoked bacon, crisp lettuce, and juicy tomatoes

This classic sandwich is nothing fancy, just plain ole delicious.  While there are plenty of variations on the BLT, I am a traditionalist and prefer the version made up of these five simple ingredients: bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mayo placed between toasted sourdough bread.

This sandwich is great for many reasons, but one of the main reasons is the crunch factor.  There is some serious crunch especially when using extra chilled crispy iceberg lettuce.  While some believe that the sandwich can be made sans lettuce, I beg to differ and think those “believers” have a few screws loose in their head and need to get it examined.

Iceberg lettuce in general doesn’t add any taste to the sandwich, since it is basically made up of nothing but water.  It is however the unsung hero is this case since without it the sandwich would feel anything but complete.

Bacon is another factor as to why this sandwich tastes so good.  There is really nothing else to say about it because bacon is a food god to some, as in me.

Juicy tomatoes?  Yes, please.  A hefty smear of mayo?  Now you are talking my language.  Toasted sourdough bread?    Ooooooo Yeah!  Now that is what I call some serious tastiness!

So the next time you are in the mood for a sandwich, that tastes like pure awesomeness, then I highly suggest the classic BLT.
