Largest BLT Sandwich

A world record attempt is also making a difference in the St. Louis community. During the seventh annual Iron Barley's Tomato Fest, organizers build a giant BLT (bacon, letuce and tomatoes) sandwich that measure 224 ft and 3 inches - setting the new world record for the Largest BLT Sandwich. Iron Barley restaurant on Virginia Avenue hosted a   Tomato fest this weekend. It featured an attempt at the world's largest BLT sandwich. The previous world record for the largest BLT sandwich in the world was set by the Associated Wholesale Grocers with a 209-foot, 16-inch-wide sandwich to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association. 

It took 500 pounds of bacon, 20 cases of lettuce, 50 gallons of mayo and 90 loaves of bread. The sandwich was sold for five dollars a slice. Proceeds from the sandwich benefit the Lift for Life gym. What does it take to smoke the giant BLT competition?

600 pounds of bacon
440 pounds of bread
550 pounds of tomatoes
220 heads lettuce
110 pounds butter
60 gallons mayo
1/4 tank propane for toasting

That makes a BLT that clocks in at just over 224 feet long and 18 inches wide.

Once the official measurements were taken, the sandwich was cut into individual portions and sold to benefit the  Lift for Life Academy. So every year   Iron Barley at Virginia avenue  keeps coming up with  largest BLT Sandwich. They came up with the longest BLT sandwich the previous year and hence they might have taught to usher the current year  with a  larger BLT Sandwich pie. That is the way iron Barley comes up with more and more gigantic Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomatoes sandwich.

Lift For Life Academy will be a challenging and supportive learning community where all students are valued and empowered to maximize their full potential as students, citizens, and productive members of society.

  The Largest   BLT Sandwich  measured 224 ft 3 inches and was set by Iron Barley  at St Louis, Missouri, United states of America on August 24, 2011.
