THE WHISTLE STOP CAFE'S BLFGT SAMMY/SANDWICHES



The Whistle Stop Cafe's Blfgt Sammy/Sandwiches image

BLFGT: Bacon, Lettuce, Fried Green Tomato Yes, there really is a Whistle Stop Cafe from the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes". It is pretty much like the movie portrays it, a Southern cafe with really authentic fare, and some of the best fried green tomatoes ever. I came across this when looking for fried green tomato recipes without much cornmeal. It sparked my interest, so I thought I'd share it with my Zaar friends. Looks like a lot of work, but well worth the time.

BLT SANDWICH



BLT Sandwich image

A bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich is always a good idea, but come summer, it's especially brilliant. Why? Mostly because fresh, crunchy lettuce and smoky, crispy bacon are the perfect companions to ripe, juicy tomatoes. Also, because a BLT is simply irresistible and manages to be both satisfying and light all at once-exactly what you want when the weather is warm. This recipe is for the classic BLT sandwich you know and love: bacon, lettuce and tomato nestled between two slices of toasted and mayo-schmeared white bread.

THE WORLD'S BEST B L T SANDWICH



The World's Best B L T Sandwich image

So simple, and yet so many subtle differences transform "good" to "world's best." the way a sandwich is assembled is key to how good it tastes. A gread sandwich is never dry (too bready). I pull out and discard all the soft white centers from baguettes, leaving two cano-shaped halves. This hollowed out bread is then packed full and doused with a generous splash of "house" dressing. Closing one of these sandwiches is like shutting an overpacked suitcase!
