Lulu’s
There’s a new-ish phenomenon I’ve been more a part of lately, a couple’s brunch. This begins when your normal group of brunch friends starts pairing off and bringing their pair with them. All of a sudden you’re that table of 10 people taking up all the space. You are especially prone to this when friends are in town with dates for a wedding.
The couple’s brunch can also lead to a sort of ordering group-think, which leads to my particular unusual happening in this Lulu’s experience. Our table ordered something like four BLTs at once.
A result of this is a bacon portion that, while very well cooked, could have been a bit bigger. Really, how many slices of bacon can you cook at once and get a huge order to the table at the same time with six other plates?
This cascades down a list of other problems with this particular sandwich. Too little bacon leaves too much tomato to overpower the middle bites. Another oddity was an 86 (for you restaurant folks) on wheat. This meant a BLT on rye, which was I think buttered and very tastey.
A solid BLT.
