❓Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How is the “Texas Bacon Lover’s BLT” different from a standard BLT?
Answer: The primary difference is the quantity of bacon and the bread. The “Texas Bacon Lover’s BLT” uses five slices of bacon (instead of a standard 3-4 slices) and is built on thick, buttered Texas Toast, which is grilled for a crunchy, buttery texture.7
2. Can I get cheese added to the BLT?
Answer: Yes, you can easily request that American cheese (or other available cheese) be added to the sandwich for a small extra charge. This is a common customization, effectively turning it into a BLC&T.
3. What kind of side dish is usually paired with the BLT?
Answer: Since the sandwich itself is considered a full meal, it is usually ordered a la carte. However, popular sides to pair with it are Hashbrowns (often ordered Smothered or Covered) or a serving of Chili.
4. Is the bacon cooked fresh for the sandwich?
Answer: Yes. Waffle House cooks all of its meats and grilled components fresh on the flat-top grill upon order. The bacon is generally cooked until it is crisp before being added to the sandwich.
5. Can I substitute the bread for the BLT?
Answer: While the sandwich is named for the Texas Toast, you can generally request it be made on regular white, wheat, or raisin toast. However, the thick, grilled Texas Toast provides the sturdy foundation and buttery flavor that defines the signature sandwich.
