When I tell people about BarBacon, they always ask about our BLT, and I’ll admit that it’s really fucking good. Before opening the restaurant, I knew I had to nail down the BLT. I do mine the way my wife likes it—because it’s delicious and because she’d kill me if I didn’t. Instead of mayo, I use a fried egg and avocado. They add both richness and flavor, but the bacon still plays the main role. Once I nailed down that BLT, I started looking at all the other bacon I was making, like tuna bacon. Could I turn that into something like a BLT? The answer was yes. I took that tuna bacon, added some mayo, topped it with lettuce and tomato, and created another sandwich I couldn’t stop eating.
