Once I got home and unwrapped the BLT, the sandwich looked light on bacon and a bit heavy on mayo.
A hearty bite of Subway’s BLT confirmed my suspicion: It was very light on the “B.” It appeared to have about four strips of bacon, and though they were stacked closer together on the small piece of bread, it didn’t feel substantial enough.
The bacon pieces themselves were a bit too thin, but tender without being soft; their consistency was welcome.
Beyond that, the lettuce had a good crunch, the tomato seemed fresh, and there wasn’t actually a glut of mayo as I’d figured on visual inspection.
This would have been a well-balanced sandwich if only there had been twice or even three times as much bacon. As it was, the bacon mostly just added a salty flavor to the sandwich rather than playing the main role in it, which is the hope for a good BLT.
Overall, at a $3.99 value price, Subway’s BLT was worth the money but hardly worth further commentary.
After trying this, the footlong’s $12.99 price also feels hard to justify. I still doubt that having double the bacon (spread over more bread) would be enough to properly balance out this BLT.
