Sandwich Week: Fried Green Tomato Sandwiches
By: Leah Rodrigues
Published: August 9, 2011

August is National Sandwich Month.  To honor this ubiquitous lunch food, I will be posting a sandwich recipe every day this week.  The thing I love about sandwiches is that they can be as simple as a grilled cheese or as involved as this fried green tomato sandwich.  This sandwich resembles a BLT (bacon,lettuce, tomato) but the fried green tomatoes add an unexpected surprise.  The soft green tomatoes balance well with the crispy cornmeal crust.  This is the perfect sandwich to kick-off sandwich week.
