Amen brother!
How can I make this beautiful bacon and tomato sandwich worse?
I know! I'll thrown on a soggy piece of tasteless green vegetable paper!
Darn it.
I thought the McRib was back.

a) Use a whole grain or multigrain sandwich bread with lots of seeds (I love Rye).
b) Pop your bread in the toaster so it can get going.
c) Sub a smear of herbed cheese...in this case Boursin for mayo.
d) Important Hack: After slicing your tomatoes, sprinkle w/ salt & pepper and let them sit for a couple minutes...then pat dry. This draws out the moisture of the 'maters' and prevents 'sogginess'!

When I read the thread title, I was expecting to open it up and see "The McRib"
We were fairly poor when I was growing up. I remember, near the end of a pay period, my mother made us radish sandwiches because all we had were radishes from our little patch of garden, such as it was in Cheyenne, Wyoming... on Wonder Bread... but with real butter. My mother always made sure we have real butter not margarine. She grew up on a small ranch and they always had fresh milk, cream and butter. It was a thing for her. To this day.... I love butter in all its forms. 
Oh yes the venerable tomato sandwich. Humble but yet so divine. Homemade mayo made with avocado oil and eggs from our own ladies on nice fresh homemade sourdough bread made by the LOTH. Nice big juicy homegrown Purple Cherokee tomato slices with some salt and pepper and nice slices of monterrey jack cheese. Indeed it is great!
Had one for supper last night, fresh picked from a local farm. We use Dukes mayonnaise exclusively. Along with some salt and vinegar chips and a coke. Yum.

View attachment 1689600"There’s debate about whether the bread needs to be toasted. Most Southerners, like Mary, would say no: That soft texture is central to the traditional tomato-sandwich experience. But Jason Skrobar, a food stylist and author of the coming “The Book of Sandwiches,” calls for toasted sourdough in a variation with sun-dried-tomato mayonnaise, which he calls My Perfect Sandwich. My colleague J. Kenji López-Alt, a Seattle resident, pan-toasts just one side of each slice, which he turns inward so the outsides are still soft, a key feature of the classic. (It should be noted that neither Skrobar nor López-Alt is Southern.)
Alternatively, the briefest stint in a toaster means you can have the best of both worlds: The bread keeps its structure under a juicy tomato while maintaining its pillowy softness inside. To each their own. As long as you have to eat your dripping sandwich over the sink, then you’re in the ballpark.
The hallmark of a good tomato sandwich, for me, is mayonnaise that slathers and pools against the tomato. If you’re from the South, “you either grew up in a Duke’s household or a Hellmann’s household,” Mary says.
To my mind, the whole Duke’s-versus-Hellmann’s debate couldn’t be more boring or irrelevant (though I enjoy riling people up every year). I use mild-tasting Hellmann’s in this particular case, because I like to sprinkle a little furikake over the mayonnaise before sandwiching the tomatoes.
The seaweed in the flavorful rice seasoning amps up the tomato’s savoriness, intensifying the harmony of fruit, carb and condiment. Flavor-forward Duke’s or even Kewpie, delicious though they are, would overpower everything in my perfect tomato sandwich".

There are some shenanigans going on in here. For the record there are 3 kinds of mayonnaise allowed.
1) Duke's
2) Kewpie
3) Made yourself
*Miracle Whip is not mayonnaise. Period.
Why would anyone put sugar in mayonnaise? Hellman's I'm speaking to you.

Both of these posts hurt my soul. No lettuce on a BLT... soggy green vegetable... sigh... you two and your "BT" sammiches.
I like many different types of lettuce and other leafed greens, in salads and as side dishes.
I just can't do lettuce on a sandwich. For me it adds nothing and detracts from the deliciousness of bacon and tomato.
Even worse... lettuce on a hamburger. OMG. A hot hamburger turns lettuce into a soggy nasty mess.
I add a little lemon juice to the cukes but other than that pretty much the same here.
My thoughts exactly!
No Mayo for me!
Another option is tomato and cucumber with a sprinkle of cinnamon. Warm, crunchy, and yummy!

I am illogic to raw tomatoes, pass.
