“BLTs Jj Goode, updated; New York Times, August 3, 2026 A BLT for any season, this version doesn’t depend on the perfect tomato, nor bacon with pedigree, for that matter. Instead, it leans on a few details that can elevate the lowliest ingredients. Slathering one side of bread with mayo and griddling it gives supermarket white a crackling veneer, while leaving the rest suitably soft and squishy. Sprinkling the tomato with salt and letting it sit a while helps the seasoning penetrate. Baking the bacon leaves it stick-straight (so the sandwich is less likely to topple), while pulling it from the oven before it’s fully crisp keeps it a little fatty. A slab of iceberg — cut crosswise from the whole head (preferably from the center) — is a game-changer, ensuring the sandwich's structural integrity and delivering exceptional crunch. Whenever I have a bad day and don’t know what to eat. Where do I go? Al’s Diner. Why? Because the BLT sandwich there is made exactly as described above. The method is a version assimilated from the best. The white bread is perfectly toasted with lots of mayonnaise. The bacon is perfectly grilled so that it is juicy and crisp. The tomato is a huge slice, just firm enough and the lettuce is several layers of the iceberg variety. Our favorite server seats us in our favorite place when we appear! We feel better as soon as we take the first bite!!“
