Green Tomato Week: Bacon Lettuce Fried Green Tomato (BLFGT) Sandwich

J – I am a super fan of BLT-anything sandwiches …

Regular BLT, Avocado BLAT and Salmon BLT, of course. But, this one takes it to a whole new level. Something about the fried green tomatoes pushes the deliciousness meter a whole bunch.

We served them to our client for a lunch meeting. The meeting went really well.

Fried green tomatoes arrived in the Be Mindful. Be Human. kitchen via Luke when we first started doing Southern recipes. Then, we sort of forgot about them.

Not sure why. Maybe, because our tomato crop is so darned uncertain each year. And, we hate to buy tomatoes at the store.

As one person in the meeting exclaimed: “This is the best sandwich I’ve ever had!”
