The Ultimate BLT-
Walk into any diner in America and you can get a decent BLT, with crispy-enough bacon, plenty of mayo, and white, wheat, or rye toast. It's the L and the T that usually leave you wanting: You're typically dealing with a few leaves of middling iceberg and mealy, out-of-season tomatoes.
But come August, when your local farmers' market is literally overflowing with choice produce, this sandwich graduates from reliable to transcendent.
With this in mind, we put together a guide to your best-ever BLT, from start to finish. You'll find our favorite purveyors of thick-cut small-batch bacon, tips for how to perfectly toast the bread to a golden sheen, a homemade herb-garlic mayo recipe, and more.
