Seriously though- that’s like saying hey which hardware store has the best nails? Oh wait I bet you also wanna know which bank in your area has the nicest cash.

There's a BLT challenge where you grow your own lettuce and tomatoes, cure and smoke your own bacon, make homemade mayonnaise and bake your own bread

Each of those ingredients can be elevated from shitty supermarket basics to something really amazing

riiight, but that's not what's at question here. OP asked where to find a good sammich.

All's I'm saying is that it's stupid... Even if you were to dress it up with home grown wheat, starter from a 200 year old sourdough culture, the ripest heirloom tomatoes & lettuce, mayo from virgin hens, 1000 mother of vinegar culture and hand pressed olives with only the most fragrant hand picked garlic, turmeric, and finely milled salt accompanied by thick cut cherry and apple smoked bacon directly from the smokehouse.... It'd still be a BLT! Next you're gonna tell me there's whole-ass restaurants that specialize in bologna or PB&J sammiches and they only source the finest imported hand crafted blah blah blah.

I like a good BLT don't get me wrong. It's just the premise of asking for a specific place that makes one that's got me laughing.

You're one of those 'why pay for a diamond when a rhinestone is just the same' guys aren't you?

nah I prefer higher quality thanks. I'm betting you're one of those - if you can't handle me at my worst you don't deserve me at my best types though.

Nah, I'm more of a 'if you don't have anything nice to say come sit next to me' to be honest

But seriously, BLT Challenge is a fun summer project. Give it a go!

Have an upvote - I’m married to that type.

Honestly, I do- every year with the first early tomatoes from my garden in late July. I’ve got a sourdough bread recipe I actually bake in a Dutch oven on my charcoal grill too. Which is also why I can quote that recipe.

It’s like that grilled cheese fad from 5 years ago… all over the board walk in huge letters on everyone’s menu… GRILLED CHEESE!! Hard pass- moving on.
