Covid Cafe: Cast Your Vote in the BLT Poll

(click here to view in browser)

Chefs, if you're not eating BLTs regularly during this summer tomato onslaught, why not? There's something magical about the flavorful acidic juices of a fresh tomato marrying with the salty goodness of bacon. The rest is window dressing. Uh oh. Am I going to get in trouble for saying that?

Chris returns today with a new poll question. You'll recall his last one had to do with eating corn on the cob. Apparently there's dissension at his table once again...
 

Chris asks: Thick or thin tomato slice on your BLT?  Lisa and Trev like thin, I like it as thick as I can get my mouth around. Tomato below is an heirloom Virginia Sweet (click here for more). 

That's a nice slice, Chris

It's worth mentioning that Chris is mayo-averse, which is a whole separate discussion. I have to give more thought to thick vs thin. If thin, then only because I can line both pieces of bread w slices, which might exceed Chris's one slice of thick. See my dilemma?

Do you have thoughts? Leave them in comments or send directly to me. Also please send a photo of your BLT...

Here's my last BLT,

a medium tomato slice on each piece of bread before assembly

  

Jon's BLT looks like it has a side-by-side 

two-tomato-slice approach, but are they thin or medium?

 

Rob's BLT

 seems to incorporate one thin-to-medium tomato slice

I've been known to build mine

 three tomato slices high
(you'd almost think Chris and I were related) 

 

 Dustin's BLT at left
 features a hefty tomato slice

Need a palate cleanser? Here's a pup Rob's tending today at Chicago Anti-Cruelty.
