In Praise of the BLTAE

June 18, 2009 10:15 am · Posted by nancyeinhart

I propose that the BLTAE enter our sandwich lexicon pronounced BLT-tay, or for extra sass, BLT-tay-yay. It refers to a BLT with avocado and egg, which I had the pleasure of tasting at Alias Restaurant on my trip to New York.

We chose this brunch spot based solely on its cuteness: a kitschy vintage exterior that contained a chic and casual Clinton Street interior. In the spirit of the Euro Club, the BLT comes with avocado and, if you choose, fried egg. The avo and egg elevate the whole thing from diner fare to elegant decadence. Oh, and the piece de resistance: the grilled bread, which gives it a nice brunchy texture.

I always get my BLTs with avocado, but I'd never thought of the egg (a food situation I have only recently warmed to). Must try!
