Merritt's Grill in Chapel Hill has been around for so long, their famous BLT is as much a fixture in town as is their restaurant. Take a look at the photo below and you'll understand why...
Piled high with three helpings of bacon followed by crispy lettuce and then tomato, and wedged between two slices of sourdough, the sandwich itself is famously popular. (The sandwich in the photo above has an extra layer of goodness... )
But so is Merritt's Grill famously popular for its friendly staff and country-style menu. If you're really jonesin' for a BBBLT, then get the double — or the triple!
Technically, the Triple is a BBBLTBBBLTBBBLT. That's a lot of bacon!
Some people prefer to add even more to the famous BBBLT. And egg is a natural option.
Prefer something less bacon-y? Try the fried bologna sandwich or the country ham sandwich. Or, there is a wide variety of other country dishes on both the breakfast and lunch/dinner menus. You really can't go wrong at Merritt's.
And if you want to remember how to make your own Merritt's famous BLT at home, then you can get the tee that boldly displays the secret ingredients right on the front.
If you can't resist a sandwich piled to the sky with savory bacon, then get over to this spot in Chapel Hill asap. When was the last time YOU had a BLT with triple the amount of bacon? Me? I'm having one right now!
