(#003) When is a BLT No Longer a BLT and Can it Ever be Called a Tomato Sandwich? (BELT, BOLT, and BLAST w/guest Steven W.)

Year of the Sandwich Podcast

Swine, my Brother?
Whether it's belly, back, or streaky...Canadian, British, Italian or American...
Bacon is one of the greatest foods ever. So good that its almost a cheat - Bacon seems to make everything better.
So naturally, Bacon has its own flagship sandwich - the BLT - Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato.
Few others could go by such a bold approach and survive. BLT's are a powerful force and ranked #1 in the U.K. and #2 top sandwiches in the U.S. - until 2019... Then something happened.
Currently the BLT sits at #6 in the states.
It seems there are those who wish to topple the Bacon Powers that be...those who sew deceit and misinformation about our lovely BLT - to dilute its purity and create madness.
Some say it's actually a well-dressed Tomato Sandwich
Some say it has mandatory Mayonnaise requirements...
and some may even say that you can add Shrimp and Avocado - and it's still a BLT?
Join me and guest Semi-Pro Food Philosopher Stephen W. as we discuss what it means to be a BLT and figure out how can you tell if it's upside-down.
I'll see you at the table.
