BLTA Sandwiches

This sandwich, a staple of natural-foods restaurants in the 1960s, could have disappeared like the Volkswagen bus. But with its thick, juicy tomato slices, crunchy bacon and buttery avocado, it has proven to have staying power, and is still one of the best ways to spend your lunch break.
