Been cooking for a little over 30 years. For all the gastronomic things I've cooked, few compare to a good BLT, soft boiled egg, or properly crisped potato pancake. I do believe you've hit all the right notes on a great BLT, but you should do a video one the various dimensions of a homemade mayo - various oils, acids, and flavours create an infinite universe for mayo, and the BLT is the perfect venue for investigating the possibilities. Very nice video.

I really like adding some balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper to my tomatoes. I make this in a bowl a few minutes before i start making the sandwich so the juices from the tomato can mix with the oil and vinegar to create a sort of dressing or vinaigrette that gives the sandwich a amazing tang that i think helps cut through the fatty bacon and mayo :)

BLT Rules 1. Use Excellent Tomatoes - beefsteak and heirloom 2. Use Good Bacon - Shouldnt contain ascorbate and sodium erythorbate. Immersion-cured preferable. 3. Cook the Bacon Crisp - Oven for crowds-worth, griddle for just a few. (Trowel recommended.) 4. Don’t Waste the Bacon Fat. Toast your bread slowly with it. Soft Pullman style breads, shokupan recommenced. 5. Use plenty of mayo, slather on BOTH sides. Handmade mayonnaise is best and fast. 6. Use the Right Lettuce. - Green Leaf, Bib, or Romaine. Iceberg lettuce recommended. 7. Season the Tomato - Salt AND Pepper! 8. Cut in Triangles - It’s a scientific fact that it tastes better this way.

There is some kind of special soil composition there and they produce the most amazing tomatoes I've ever had. If you ever have the chance in your life, have a BLT built around a Washington Boro tomato. It will change your life. There is even a tomato festival here every year to celebrate this amazing fruit.

The wavy bacon is crucial! gives the BLT more height.

Only difference is I've made it in a toasted bagel. Now: I love making sandwiches, I tried making "the best one", but never tried BLT. Some were amazing, but over complicated. Others just sucked and were a fail. But this. This... oh my god. This *is* the King of Sandwiches. Thank you, good sir.
