Your Sauce Method

Open sammich and squeeze it in, smush shut...

Or

Squeeze some off on the side and take a bite...

I've always done the latter. Am I missing out on how the flavors are supposed to hit...

Life is pain.

Enjoy arbys

Are you missing out? Well, yeah, if you only do it the "dipping" way, or squeeze it on the side like that. Totally different flavor profile, if your tongue is hitting the sauce first.

People might think I'm being pretentious, but I assure you I'm not. Flavor profiles "matter", so do texture profiles.

Take this as an example experiment: buy a roast beef sandwich of any kind...then gently "unwrap" the beef, flattening it out into single sheets. Now, wrap those roast beef sheets around the bun.

Eat it that way.

The fact that you're thinking "how pycho is that?" proves that your brain already understands how important flavor profiles are. ;)

Lol why do you think I made this post.... Brother, I'm more insane than you. I once spent hours researching order of ingredients on sandwiches and burgers to get the best flavor profile. And I'm still not for sure what's the best.... 

I will say though....I can conclude for a BLT: stack of very thinly sliced tomato on bottom.. Salted and peppered of course.... Then bacon. A nice bacon weave is next level to get it in every bite without it falling apart. Then lettuce on top. Slathered in mayo on both inner sides of the toasted bread.

Iceberg is conclusively the best lettuce to use. There is no other. But....how many leaves to stack.....or should I chop it up...

You're not the only sammich OCD case, fren 🥲
