As Kenji said, the BLT is a tomato sandwich seasoned with bacon. Tomatoes are the most important component and they must be forward, sweet, and tart. As I say, bacon should always have some crisp and never be floppy buffet fat blobs like this. Ham is available for purchase but the HLT didn’t catch on. Crisp from the lettuce, crunch from the bacon, soft and crisp from the toasted bread, and finally juiciness and structure from the tomatoes. I like the addition of bacon grease to the mayo but why not just make your own mayo with bacon grease as a substitute for the oil? I call it bayo and it is delicious.
This looks insane and this whole process was a chaotic yet beautiful process, I wanna see this dude and Matty Matheson make some big grotesque sandwich
Loved every single second of this video. Hilarious commentary, the scattered movements, and new methods that I’d never would have thought of. Reminds me of being with my family haha. All ends with a delicious and crazy creation derived from a simple sandwich!
I went to his shop in Finsbury Park many years ago, he wandered around the restaurant chatting away to everybody. Really nice vibe and excellent sarnies.
Chef seems like a very nice guy, but I’d never eat that BLT. I’m sure it is delicious, but I don’t like to eat super overstuffed sandwiches. Maybe I can’t open my mouth wide enough, maybe I don’t like eating such a sloppy sandwich that I end up wearing food on my face and shirt, and maybe it’s too much of a good thing that spoils it for me. So I’ll take a few very good tips from him and elevate my own BLTs. I respect the guy and his sandwich; it’s just not my cup of tea, so to speak.
The best BLT ever: Synthetic 99 cent white bread Hellman's mayo Tomatoes from the garden Iceberg lettuce Homemade bacon The best BLTs came out of my great-grandmother's kitchen.
Oh my gosh, YES to a BLT being a tomato sandwich as much as it is a bacon sandwich. In my attempt to make a blt salad, I only succeeded in achieving the classic BLT flavor by adding way more tomato! 😋
I like BLTs with both extra bacon and extra tomatoes and the bacon CRISPY, also I use a shredded lettuce compote with some regular old mayo mixed into it as well as some mayo on the toast, first with added garlic butter, I just have all ingredients in layers also salt and pepper the tomatoes
To quote "The Princess and the Frog." Well... There... You... Go... Thank you to the team at #Munchies for bringing us the ultimate BLT sandwich and to Max Halley for sharing his sandwich secrets. The bacon fat in the mayo is damn brilliant.
I totally disagree with the bacon not being crispy, but that's just me. A BLT should definitely highlight the tomatoes over anything else though. There's not much better than fresh tomatoes.
I like this guy, his attitude to food and cooking is nice. As a chef, we can froth on and on about plating, presentation, cooking, but in reality, this is the food the people enjoy. Sloppy and dirty.
What most people here are forgetting is the BLT is not a bacon sandwich; it's a tomato sandwich. Burn your bacon, barely render it, whatever, but it's all about the tomato. Also, dude's bacon was actually just undercooked and would be stringy as fuck
Looks like tasty bloody mess but when hes talking about all layers in one bite and then you sorta have to unhinge your jaw to make it possible is not ideal.
welp, he predicted it would the vid would stink. The only darker food vid I can think of is that salt fat heat vinegar series on netflix which was like watching tv wearing cataract surgery glasses. The "cinematic look", or whatever this is, is awful. This isn't batman, its a recipe video.
"I'm gonna make a bold claim..." as if he hasn't been making them non stop for the first 4 minutes already, love this guy
this was unhinged
Was it?
Was it also FERAL?
In the best possible way 👌

The lettuce is crazy
good to know this dude's still around doin' his thing.
I was at his restaurant the other day and he boldly proclaimed it fuckingham palace and he’s the queen.
Give this guy his own show good lord
He's got a yt channel.
This looks insane and this whole process was a chaotic yet beautiful process, I wanna see this dude and Matty Matheson make some big grotesque sandwich
Skipped forward and saw the man blending bacon, convinced me to watch the whole thing.
Over 1000 reviews of his shop on Google, 5 stars in average. Never seen anything like that, impressive.
It's worth a trip if you can, the ham, egg and chips sandwich is legendary.
It’s a nice shop, I went many years ago and met him, he was lovely
Max by all accounts and measures, seems like a Good Man, who genuinely loves Sandwiches/Sarnies/Sammies.
He's doing The Lord's Work.
He’s a legend
how tf can u slap that lettuce on the sandwich like that?
😂😂
bro really wanted height lmao I couldnt believe it either
This guy doesn’t give a fuck about nothing!
Was great until the lettuce
ah, I like this guy... gonna try making a blt like this.
That’s so cool, comment more

Max is pure gem, i wish he had more episodes on the sandwich show, one the best episodes on munchies.
You made a simple sandwich and turned it into a Frankenstein monster.
The idiot made making a simple sandwich look difficult..
And not the good type
Max AND Munchies! What a match made in Heaven
I went to his shop in Finsbury Park many years ago, he wandered around the restaurant chatting away to everybody. Really nice vibe and excellent sarnies.
Max Halley has aged so well honestly
You have a great idea on make the BLT sandwich,it’s looks delicious all the flavors and ingredients works together as one great sandwich.
Love Max and have his books, but here is a bold claim... this sandwich only belongs on toasted shittiest white bread you can find.
Chef seems like a very nice guy, but I’d never eat that BLT. I’m sure it is delicious, but I don’t like to eat super overstuffed sandwiches. Maybe I can’t open my mouth wide enough, maybe I don’t like eating such a sloppy sandwich that I end up wearing food on my face and shirt, and maybe it’s too much of a good thing that spoils it for me.

Brilliant guy
Hell yeah! Good to see Max again! Loved his sarnie series!
i put rotisserie chicken in mine as well, goes great with crispy bacon
Yeaaaaah, Max is back :)
Love that guy
the color saturation is too low
How to fix while filming?
The best BLT ever:
Synthetic 99 cent white bread
Hellman's mayo
Tomatoes from the garden
Iceberg lettuce
Homemade bacon
The best BLTs came out of my great-grandmother's kitchen.
Max is a legend
OMG did he just blend the cooked bacon into the mayo. Genius
Just bought Max's book and can not wait to make some of his recipes. Another culinary hero added to my list :)
We need more people like this guy
How am I just now seeing this? I fucking love Max, I wish he had more stuff on TH-cam.
This guy: "I am going to make my Mayonnaise" and then grabbing the Heinz mayonnaise jar...what a shame...
I love this guy and whilst weird, I reckon that sandwich will taste spectacular.
I would watch 1000 more videos with this man, A+ content
In one posting, you have won a lifetime follower! Stella Artois with this one. Cheers!
He’s such a great character, and makes damn good sandwiches
Happy with your new cooking recipe❤❤❤
Love Max and look forward to the day I can visit his shop slightly overserved with the munchies.
Absolute perfection
Love this guy!
Oh my gosh, YES to a BLT being a tomato sandwich as much as it is a bacon sandwich. In my attempt to make a blt salad, I only succeeded in achieving the classic BLT flavor by adding way more tomato! 😋
I should wait to comment until the end of the video lol, but softer bacon is better in salad too! 😂❤
BLT salad is really BLT no bread?
Well he's awesome! Love this guy!
I like BLTs with both extra bacon and extra tomatoes and the bacon CRISPY, also I use a shredded lettuce compote with some regular old mayo mixed into it as well as some mayo on the toast, first with added garlic butter, I just have all ingredients in layers also salt and pepper the tomatoes
Loved every bit of that bar the lettuce 😂
That's the type of sandwich I've only ever seen Homer Simpson eat.
Max Halley in the galley! He's not on a ship but i don't give a shit
My god that looks delicious. Well done.
Let him cook.
Straight to jail for this man
This man is diabolical with his use of lettuce
fucking love this guyy !!!!! give him his show already !!!!!
if you close your eyes it's like listening to harry potter giving you a run down on how to make a BLT
I haven’t cooked in months, and this video was so bad it motivated me to get up and make a better blt than whatever I just watched
Holy shit the legend is back
To quote "The Princess and the Frog."
Well... There... You... Go...
Thank you to the team at #Munchies for bringing us the ultimate BLT sandwich and to Max Halley for sharing his sandwich secrets. The bacon fat in the mayo is damn brilliant.
This video actually scared me. Obviously the lettuce was frightening but even the way he ate the sandwich at the end.
what a character. I feel like I wanna show my way now hahahaha
Delicious stuff guys, but what happened to the color grading?
Nah. Then I can just eat each layer at a time like a madman.
More
Of him ..he seems like a cool bartender in UK that can tell great stories and make good food ..let me get a beer
BLT is my favourite sandwich. The way I do mine is to add tomato ketchup and leave out the tomato and lettuce.
That's a BS sandwich, fail
sandwiches are the highest culinary art form. fuckin fight me if you think otherwise...
how is his face 50 years old and his voice is 20 years old
"I often think one of the secrets to a happy life, is a liberal attitude to mayonnaise - This! And butter, and pâté.
I love it!
He opposes crispy bacon and I still like him.
More Max please
You are correct about EVERYTHING, EXCEPT: slice your tomatoes thin and sliver thin on the iceberg!!!!!
Mayo is important. I love lots of mayo and lots of black pepper.
I totally disagree with the bacon not being crispy, but that's just me. A BLT should definitely highlight the tomatoes over anything else though. There's not much better than fresh tomatoes.
Yea no one wants limp barely rendered bacon you pull out with every bite in a sandwich that needs that crispness from the bacon to even function
he's english, they eat back bacon
Just a slight crisp to the bacon is perfect. It should still bow and bend when held across your finger.
@@shawnmorris5693 nah, it's should crumble like glass without being burnt.
Crispy bacon is trash. Americans' pallets are rubbish because they are used to eating too much fast food.
If you close your eyes you’d swear it’s Harry Potter speaking
Did you happen to put a son up for adoption in 1987? I think you could be my Dad. 😂
How much does that sell for?
"I think there's a lot of over intellectualised bullshit about food..."
"...but really it [BLT[ is a tomato sandwich"
Rather thick, but overall looks delicious. Would probably just scale it down for ease of eating
Don't be such a wimp, real men don't even cut the tomatoes
I felt like I just watched a hogwarts professor teach me how to make a proper BLT sandwich 😂
This sandwich goes to 11
If you close your eyes it's Daniel Radcliffe making a sarnie
How to use up every dish, utensil and pan in the house to make a simple sandwich lol
I like this guy, his attitude to food and cooking is nice. As a chef, we can froth on and on about plating, presentation, cooking, but in reality, this is the food the people enjoy. Sloppy and dirty.
legend!
Love Max. I was once burgled and they stole my Max’s sandwich book :(
Max is a great guy. He aged a bit but he likes sammichs and I do too.
Move me some Mad Max Halley
11 minute pure example of "over intellectualising" food
My man loves a sanga! And lettuce, we should pull back on that.
Kewpie mayo only for me! Lawdy what a mayonaise!
not a bacon sandwich, not a tomato sandwich...its a mayo sandwich!
Surprised he didn’t use FlexSeal
Since when is Vice censoring swearing?
I think i'm in love 😊😅❤❤❤❤
Might be tasty, but not a fan of sandwiches or burgers that you can't bite into without having to dislocate your jaw first.
Your bloodline is weak and your name will be forgotten.
I know, right? This is why burgers should get wider, not taller when they get bigger!
waiting for new video
Congratulations on making it to 10.
