(#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.)
Apr 10, 2021 Season 1 Episode 3
Hosted by Scott G.

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.
