The triangular mass of Claes Oldenburg’s Giant BLT (Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato Sandwich”) 1963, is actually constructed from many smaller sculptural components including wood slabs, stuffed cushions and fabric pieces, which must be restacked each time the work is shown, allowing ample room for creative variation.

I Wonder How Much Mayonnaise They Used on This?
A world record has been set for the world’s longest Bacon, Lettuce & Tomato Sandwich at 179-feet, two-inches (that includes 500 pounds of savory, crispy, delicious bacon.) The previous record was 169 feet. Bacon sandwich!
Want.

D&D Deli: Turkey BLT on Wheat Toast
OK, so there’s this new blog based in NYC called Scanwiches, which is just page after page of scanned pictures of very delicious-looking gourmet sandwiches. Oh. My. God. I guarantee this site is going to make your mouth water in about five seconds. I’m going to get a sandwich right now.

Lisa Stays and Spike Goes: So Not Fair
I’m quite certain that I’m far from the only one who wanted to call “Foul!” at the conclusion of last night’s Top Chef, when Spike was eliminated over Lisa. I mean WTF? Lisa rightfully earned a place in the bottom group on nearly every challenge and, while Spike had a few stumbles, he is clearly the superior chef – and a better sport too, if you ask me. Although, now that I am thinking about it he did pull that passive aggressive “Bread, lettuce and tomato” snafu over his competitors during the “To Protect and To Serve” episode a few weeks back. That was kind of a dick move, actually. But anyway, except for Lisa I’m happy with having Richard, Antonia and Stephanie (my fave to win) in the finals. I can’t wait for the reunion show (hopefully next week?) to hear all the shit talk that goes down!
In other culinary news, I had one of those new Supreme BLT Chicken Sandwiches (crispy style) for lunch at McDonalds and it was fucking awesome.

The Band Train Performed Some Songs While We Ate Tasty Snacks
Back in the day, major labels used to host big deal press parties all the time, where hacks like me could get completely sloshed on free booze and engorge ourselves on sumptuous snacks. Good times. Those days are generally considered to be gone with the dot com boon, but last night Columbia Records hosted a party for the band Train at an art gallery located in a westside neighborhood formerly known for its population of transvestite hookers. I think most people came to hear Train perform songs from its new CD For Me, It’s You, but what everybody in the loft was really buzzing about was how awesome the food was.
