5 Mississippi Restaurants That Put Their Own Tasty Twist On The BLT
Nothing hits the spot quite like a BLT. From the crispy bacon to the fresh tomatoes, it’s nearly impossible to think about the sandwich without your mouth watering. (Or is that just me?) And, like me, you probably thought the classic sandwich couldn’t get any better. But guess what? It can. And if you need proof, just pay a visit to one of these Mississippi restaurants that put their own tasty twist on the BLT.
With a name like "The Tomato Place," it should come as no surprise that this Vicksburg eatery serves up a BLT that’s sure to please. In fact, the fried green tomato BLT, which is made with only the freshest ingredients and locally grown tomatoes, is one of the restaurant’s signature specialties. Visit the quirky roadside eatery at 3229 Hwy 61 S., Vicksburg, MS 39180.
A lovely eatery in downtown Ocean Springs, Maison de Lu features a mouthwatering menu filled with soups, salads, sandwiches, and gourmet dinners. The restaurant also serves up daily specials throughout the week – one of which is the grilled turkey BLT avocado wrap. An outdoor seating area only adds to the eatery’s charm. Visit Maison de Lu at 626 Washington Ave., Ocean Springs, MS 39564.
At this Indianola eatery, the BLT gets beefed up with the addition of a perfectly grilled hamburger patty. Dubbed the Delta BLT Burger, it’s a hearty alternative to the classic sandwich. Visit The Blue Biscuit at 501 Second St., Indianola, MS 38751.
