Reply to comment by Leftblankthistime in Best BLT in NJ? by qazxcvbnmlpoiuytreww

This shitty tomatoes far too many places use are enough to make a BLT sub-par.

And the bread is also super-duper important, of course.

And then there's proportions of ingredients, as well as total amounts -- too much of a good thing is usually a bad thing.

And yes, I'm talking about the bacon here -- I ordered a BLT once that must've had at least half a pound of bacon on it, and it was not a positive thing.

Right- and what you get at any restaurant is toasted wonder bread, ice burg lettuce, helmans mayo, stock photo bacon, and bland ass tomatoes that were picked when they were grass green. You’re not getting a good blt outside your own kitchen

LOL

You're not far off as to the average BLT... which is why there is very much a need to call out the places that excel at making them.

NJ.com ... so nine of them will be utter shit, and the 10th won't actually be a BLT at all. ;)
