The BLT (bacon, lettuce & tomato) is already a perfect harmony of flavors, but what happens if you take it to the extreme? We’re making a BLT the hardest way possible by curing the bacon, baking the bread from scratch, growing and sourcing peak-season tomatoes and lettuce, and even making the mayo by hand. We’ll nerd out over each component, figure out what’s worth the effort, and see if all this over-the-top work actually makes the best BLT on Earth… or if I should reevaluate my entire life. Stick around until the end for the verdict, can you really perfect a BLT without over-engineering it? Let’s find out.
