You left 2 bacon bits on the plate. What's up with that?

Sorry folks. It was gone before I could get a picture of it. It's been a few years since I've had a fresh homemade one and man was it good. I think I was eating the bacon off the stack as fast as my dad could fry it up.

I too prefer Miracle Whip and iceberg lettuce. A few years back during a road trip through Virginia I had one where they substituted fried green tomatoes in place of normal ones. It was an outstanding twist on this classic. If you like fried green tomatoes you'll love them on a BLT. With Miracle Whip, of course!

Try it with sourdough bread. Just that little bit of tang makes those tastebuds stand up and yell "yippie".

That's our go-to bread when we summer in the Sierra Nevada. Gotta go native, yano. Local farmer's market REAL tomatoes, toasted sourdough. Heaven on the lake.

Ooh, sourdough bread does sound good. Cheese and sourdough bread it is next time!

I'll also defend the person who hates tomatoes. I'm usually not a fan either but for some reason they fit just right on a BLT.

BLT!!!

Wonderful fried bacon, fresh tomato's, lettuce, and toasted white bread with mayo.

Nothing better in my book.

Miracle Whip? MIRACLE WHIP?

B L A S T P H E M Y !!!!!!!!!!!

Blue Plate or Dukes period! Accept NO substitutes!!!!

I usually use a shot or two of Tabasco also.

Ditto. Skipping the L leaves more room for B. And my Bristol Farms supermarket offers a seedless rye that has rye flour listed as the second ingredient (after water). Some "rye" breads have rye flour about eighth on the list, even below vitamins.

Little more bacon
Top it off with bacon
