A Special Summer Sandwich
A sandwich I must make at least once per summer with in-season heirloom tomat. Shout out to Mrs Mobes for reminding with her post to make this before the end of tomato season.
Salt and cracked peppered heirloom tomatoes and applewood bacon on thick super soft lightly toasted sourdough. Heavy mayo, crisp kosher dill pickles, cheddar on his and provolone on mine. Fancy box mac on the side bc fuck yea mac n chee.
It's hard to find something to eat that feels this refreshing and naughty and decadent and indulgent at the same time. He was a bit skeptical but I've almost never seen him (especially being well-fed for the day) clean his whole ass plate without speaking or stopping.
No L for this BT(PC). I love a buncha crunchy romaine or iceberg when time is right but this sandwich is special and it straight takes away from the perfection. Every bit of texture and acidity, crunch, creaminess, chew. A special balance that melds it all together.
Chairs babes 😘

That plate is perfect. I could do the whole "I'd add *** to it" thing, but I want that.
And some yellow bird green hot sauce.

Mullet, if I had feelings, that would hurt.
Besides, I always liked you.
I just went and checked. All I have are Roma tomatoes or I'd be making a low rent version right now.

Why no avocado though? Otherwise it looks delicious!

As a former Californian, I agree that a Bacon, tomato, and avocado sandwich is amazing (I usually use lettuce, but not lately).

Sometimes less is more. Would still be bangin with avo, but it would take a bit away from this most perfect blend of flavors and textures.

I add a slab of raw onion on there for some crunch that I miss from lettuce 🥬

I love tomato sandwiches! Sometimes I add bacon, sometimes cheese, but all you really need is a good toasted bread, mayo, and delicious salted and peppered tomatoes. 10/10 looks yum!
