I’ve had a lot of people throwing me shade about my tomato sandwich, telling me it ain’t no good if it don’t have bacon and lettuce on it. Let me tell you why I think you’re wrong. You see, tomato sandwiches have deep roots, and those roots are poor. You see, folks were already growing their own tomatoes, and they were baking their own bread. If they had chickens laying eggs, they were making their own mayonnaise. So, a tomato sandwich was something they didn’t have to go to the grocery store for. And let me tell you right now, tomato sandwich was solely responsible for putting a smile on a whole lot of hardworking faces on a hot summer day. Now, a BLT is a great sandwich, but folks, it is a completely different sandwich. Like a tomato sandwich, a BLT is best enjoyed when you grow some of your own ingredients. Let’s face it, folks, growing your own food solves so many problems. You can grow your own tomatoes pretty easily. You can grow your own lettuce. You can raise your own hogs, cure the pork belly, and slice your own bacon. You see, I don’t toast my bread for a tomato sandwich because I think that the toasted texture takes away from the tomato being a star. But for a BLT, you have to toast your bread. There’s just more going on and you need that support. Get you some Dukes. It’s got that twang. You know what I’m saying? You got to put mayo on both sides. And you can absolutely not use that. All right, the order is important here. Bacon, lettuce, tomato. Start with your bacon. Make it the right size. And guys, use the amount that seems like the correct amount for you. For me, that’s a good bit. Okay. bacon. Now we go lettuce. Get that lettuce on there. Nice and crunchy. And here comes that moment of truth. Oh, slab right there. M. That looks good. Look at that tomato. Get you a nice thick piece. Boom. Right on top. I like to put my salt and pepper on the tomato. Okay, don’t be shy with that pepper either. You may not know this, but 3.14159 people out of four would agree that triangles taste better. So, cut it like this right here. Boom. Go grow some food,
