Chef Chris Aquilino breaks the meat monotony with this BLT, which places Aussie Select Prime Rib Roast in place of the typical pork-based bacon. The chef tested various options for the lamb prime rib. “Once I discovered a bacon-like consistency, I knew I wanted to create a handheld,” he says. A garden “overrun with green tomatoes” informed the build, while basil leaves and Bibb lettuce provided extra flavor and crunch, respectively. “Rooted in familiarity, the sandwich gives diners a compelling reason to put a toe in fresh waters,” he says.
