Heart Stopping BLT
Once in a Blue Moon I like to pretend that I’m still a 20 year old man and do something less than smart. Today was one of those days. I went to Crown Candy Kitchen, a St. Louis Landmark and tradition that is located in a less than desirable neighborhood with my wife and sisters. I ordered the BLT that came with chips for $8.99. The BLT has one pound of bacon on it. Like I said, less than smart, but DELICIOUS! Mmmmmm Bacon!! Yes, I ate the whole thing.

I think maybe it could use just one more piece of bacon and little less lettuce....

Actually it's a BBB with a little lettuce and tomato thrown in.

As long as you used light mayonnaise, then you should be OK.

...and with crispy bacon too! Too much bacon for me but I would order it and keep the extra bacon for another sandwich for later on. Just plain bread and bacon makes a tasty snack.
Now look what you did! That picture is making me hungry for an extreme Bacon with LT sandwich.

Roger on the bread and bacon alone - just need a layer of Miracle Whip on the bread

Reminds me of a local place that burned down a few years back.
They had a "big daddy" burger that was over a pound. It was a true heart
clogger but oh, so good!
I got one about once a year and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Now you've got me craving my semi annual BLT.
I'm waiting till my home grown 'maters are producing a little more.

The sandwich had to be at least a little bit healthy, it did have lettuce and tomato on it. BTW, they make a great chocolate malt to go with the BLT. They bring one of those silver metal cups/buckets that they mix the chocolate malt in to your table and leave it. You get about 2 and 1/2 malts from it. Is it any wonder they've been around for 100 years and thriving in a less than desirable location? To be honest I don’t know how they make money selling a BLT like that for $8.99.
We arrived for lunch at 11:00 AM and waited in line for 30 minutes before being seated. It’s not a very big place but it sure is popular. Here’s a shot I took while in line waiting to get in.

You can put bacon on a hubcap and make it edible.

There are places like that that serve oversize burgers and sandwiches like that all over DFW and a lot of the small towns around here.
A lot of them pile on the French Fries right between the bun or bread. You see a lot of them on Diners,Drive Ins, and Dives.
They are good, but in moderation IMO.
The malt in a bucket is a new one for me. I've seen peanuts in a bucket and I've seen beer in a bucket, but not a malt.

Hmmmm, Windows wallpaper. I don't think that would work for me, I'd be licking the screen all the time.

I've said many times-- cardboard would be pretty good if it's dipped in
good batter and deep fried!

You might want to come to the next Texas State Fair and set up a booth featuring your idea.
They deep fry everything there

AHAH! When I met DH, and during my first trip to his condo I opened his fridge and saw Miracle Whip!
Knew he was da man for me!
No mayo in our house! If'n ya don't like Miracle Whip, bring yer own mayo.
