BLT With Smoked Bacon, Beefsteak Tomato, Arugula and Lemon Aioli image

Big name for a sandwich! I got this from The Panera Bread Cookbook, the original called for apple-wood smoked bacon but I just had regular smoked bacon and it was terrific. I loved the very easy to make lemon aioli in this sandwich, it gives it a nice twang.
