But normally I’ll just eat 2. I try to be conscious of the sodium but sometimes you just need real bacon!

I would have ordered hot crushed peppers. While I dearly love our old local sub shop, I found the new person behind the counter doesn’t understand “light hot peppers”. 🙄

My wife is the same.
There's a diner near our house that has a special BLT. 8 slices of bacon on it!
Speaking of which, we used to like replacing the lettuce with fresh bean sprouts. But, we can't find those anymore.

Every morning, I wake up, and I smoke a cigarette. And then I eat five strips of bacon. And for lunch, I eat a bacon sandwich. And for a midday snack?

John Gustafson: Bacon.

Grandpa Gustafson: Bacon! A whole damn plate! I usually drink my dinner.

Bacon is heavenly. Especially when served with a stack of pancakes with plenty of butter and syrup. Have to save room for it all…

My first full time post college I'd treat myself to a BLT at a little restaurant down the block once a week.

Then there are the double decker turkey BLT's if I remember correctly.

But the best for me was a restaurant that served a grilled cheese (cheddar + other) with I think some tomato slices but you could also add bacon!
Ohhh, *Heaven*!!! 🎉😄

Grilled Cheese Tomato Bacon Avocado. On sourdough.

It’s been years since I’ve made one!

Just keep me away from candied bacon. Once I start, I can’t stop!

There is no off switch in my brain for that. And if it’s spicy candied bacon, I’m doomed lol.
