The Perfect BLT

This week, MSNBC is running an article about the secrets to a perfect BLT. Personally, while I love the 'B' and 'T' part of a BLT, I can pretty much do without the 'L', especially if the B_T comes with lots of mayo. I am intrigued, however, by one of the recipes in the article, where the 'L' doesn't stand for lettuce, but rather for liver. Liver, as in foie gras.

Hey, now before you make that Mr. Yuk face, you should give it a try, especially if you happen to be on the Chicago City Council. Who knows, you might even like it. I'm not kidding. A short while back, my girlfriend and I tried the PB&J foie gras sandwich appetizer at Hawthorne Lane (22 Hawthorne Lane; 415-777-9779). Both of us thought that it was absolutely fantastic. I hope that they keep that item on the menu as they go through some upcoming changes.

I think that we know what makes the "Perfect" BLT, mister. Alsace Bacon, Garlic Mayo, Basil, and good company.

don't forget to add Johnny Cash and a cold Schwarzbier to the list.

Alsatian bacon and Johnny Cash - I can't argue that the combo is an essential part of a fantastic BLT lunch on a lazy Sunday in Heidelberg.
