Yes, I noted Andrew's comment about the excessive mayo on the one sandwich. I agree, most North Americans put far too much mayo, and other sauces, on their food. I watch quite a number of food related videos and just cringe at the amount of "sauces" everyone uses. When I order a sandwich I always ask for the sauce, or mayo, on the side. I prefer to taste my actual food, not just sauce! Happy New Year Nicola and Andrew!

I love a BLT. It's always better, when you make it yourself. You can toast the bread you like the way you like it, get the kind of bacon you like, and cook it to your preferred texture, and add as much mayo, lettuce, and tomato as you prefer. Also costs less.

Yep mayo is absolutely standard on BLTs. And an actual fresh summer tomato-which you may have never had-makes a huge difference too. And, unfortunately, that really expensive one has not much resemblance to an actual BLT. Actually in the summer, (in Nashville Tennessee anyway😂) people make tomato sandwiches w no bacon. W mayo-preferably Duke’s. Enjoy!

a homemade BLT is always the best and if you can try to get an heirloom tomato those are amazing tip: we don't grill it or cook the bread (we just make toast in a toaster and THAT IS IT) lol I've seen so many brits cook it instead of using a toaster and I'm like oh God no, please! lol oh and also (toasting the bread is the very last step we do before assembling it together as a complete BLT sandwich) so make sure your bacon is cooked how you want it then make sure the mayo is out and ready and the tomato is all sliced up and the lettuce is torn off and your ready to go and as soon as the toast pops up and is toasted then put it on a plate add your mayo to (both) pieces of toast then add your bacon tomato lettuce and top it with the other piece of mayoed toast and cut it in half and eat and boom your done easiest is better (Do not try to be fancy with it simple is best) but you can add as much bacon lettuce and tomato and mayo as you want but aside from the toast that's all you add however much you want of the mayo Bacon Lettuce Tomato but don't add any other extra ingredients (oh and NO BUTTER) lol just an FYI I know brits love their butter inside a sandwich lol ps: I loved this video thanks for making it guys hugs!

BLTs are a humble and easy sandwich, so I’m not surprised that you went for the first one. There’s no place for it to go, when the cheapest version is going to be marginally different from any other. As long as the tomato and lettuce are fresh, the bread is toasty and the bacon is well-cooked, you’re going to have a good sandwich.

It really is possible to upscale this at home because you can get better bacon in small batches than a restaurant can in bulk,you can also get better bread in many cases . If you get double thick center cut bacon ,heirloom tomatoes (or from the farmers market,or better still ,ones you’ve grown yourself),also specialty pickles and potatos for along side then you’re really very far above the average restaurant experience. Wonderful job braving the tomato ,tomatoes are 😊only going to get better from here.

Try a BLT made with thick cut bacon, lettuce, and home grown Beefmaster or Beefsteak tomato thick cut with Mayonnaise based on Olive Oil on Texas Toast. Also try thick cut bacon with pepper on the edge. Ends up being a seasonal thing in the USA if you can find a restaurant that'll do this with the tomatoes, otherwise you have to do it yourself because you don't find Beefmaster or Beefsteak tomatoes varieties in the grocery store, just in your own backyard garden.

Mayo is pretty typical for a BLT. In the Midwest, it’s very common to substitute mayo with Miracle Whip. I’m not big on either. My pro move is to leave out the mayo in favor of an acid-forward Italian dressing or salsa verde. Acid cuts through the fatty bacon and makes the blt more exciting.

Happy New Year 2025 to you and all here ! ✨🎉🎊 ----------- On the sandwich itself I feel the bacon used can make an extreme difference in the taste of the sandwich, some places use (sweet smokey) bacon while others use a more bland flavored bacon and also some will be crispy while others will be soft and chewy and that can make a big difference in the enjoyment of the sandwich. You also found that to be true in your sandwiches.

I never understood why my grandmother’s simple sandwiches tasted better than any other sandwich. As an adult I blurted out, “Your sandwiches always taste the best!” She said, “I put salt and pepper on the tomatoes. Always salt and pepper your tomatoes.” My mind was blown!!! She was right! I never thought to do that. Bland tomatoes can mess up a sandwich! A BLT on toasted sliced sourdough, with mayo, smokey bacon, crisp lettuce and tomatoes that have been sprinkled with salt and pepper…delish! A national treasure!

That last sandwich is what's called a gimmick item. Real BLTs are just mayo, lettuce, tomato and bacon on toasted bread. Anything else isn't a BLT anymore.

The BLT is my favorite sandwich. I prefer rye bread with mayonnaise on one side and a little mustard on the other. The sandwich shouldn’t be dripping with Mayo it should be an even ratio, this is why I make my own BLT, also you can control the amount of bacon, restaurant will give you more tomato and lettuce and less bacon. That last sandwich looked odd, not a sandwich I would ever order.

Great video as always! If I may offer a suggestion for the future: When the weather warms up in the northeast USA, I strong recommend doing a tour of the diners in New Jersey. New Jersey has more diners than anywhere in the USA. A quick Google search, Yelp, etc. reviews should steer you to the hot spots. While the food is not inexpensive, the portions tend to be large and are easily enough for two in many cases. Overall, it is a very good representation of American food, albeit sometimes on steroids. New Jersey is a unique area in that a portion of it will be more NewYork like with jaw-dropping Italian food, etc., but just down the proverbial roads are more dining/diner adventures. "Eater" on YT has a good video to get you started with one of my faves in Newark NJ, "Tops."

The toast and bacon on a standard BLT is so crunchy it'll hurt the roof of your mouth. Mayo is required. Most BLTs in a restaurant come with a side of your choice, french fries, potato chips, small salad, cup of soup, cottage cheese and the like. Many of us make ours at home so we can make them just the way we like. That 3rd sandwich isn't a BLT, its not even a good fake. Its expensive because of the lobster and the waterfront location. You'd have been better off ordering a lobster roll there.

Before it even starts . . . Stick with the cheapest. Well, maybe not the very lowest priced, but way down in price. I use Miracle Whip as the dressing & NO, nothing in excess. Potato chips I would say, are mandatory. Lobster?? Some do insist on avacado or onion on their BLT. So, I guess. You guys need some promoting. Still only 25K? I will mention you. So expect a huge influx of 2 or 3 subscribers next week.

That last sandwich, while delicious, is not a BLT. It's a lobster salad sandwich with bacon. The lettuce and tomato usually come on salad sandwiches. If this sandwich is more expensive than the two it's insane. I agree, I like the first one also. Yes, mayonnaise is standard for a BLT. Now if the first place toasted their bread more, added more BL&T to give that sandwich some girth to hold on to you'd have a killer sandwich. Out of curiosity, where are you buying these BLTs these prices are crazy

I spent most of my life thinking I didn't like tomatoes. I was an adult before I discovered that tomatoes are great - in season! They are absolutely wonderful during that brief period in August when they come straight off the vine. They do benefit from being salted before use, too. (I like my BLT with a fried egg - a BELT.)

First let me say I luv your videos and I commented on your BLT vid and it may have come off a little harsh what I really meant was as an American BLT is just that, for instance if you have a BLT with a hamburger then it’s not a BLT anymore it’s a hamburger with bacon, we use bacon more as an add on to many sandwiches. That’s why I say the lobster sandwich had bacon on it.
