The London Bar



BLT Martini at The LONDON NYC

Suave as you are, you're not too sophisticated to admit that few things trump a good BLT.
They have removed the pieces of slightly burnt toast, and replaced it with a petite silver spoon and three layers of madman-conceived delicacy:

  • Layer 1: A translucent, red-orange tomato geleé (think V8 meets Jell-O...an acquired taste).
  • Layer 2: White cream infused with slender onion rings and succulent shards of bacon.
  • Layer 3: A tangy chilled lettuce velouté: blended iceberg lettuce poured over cream, like chocolate syrup on a sundae.

The result? A creamy dish that couldn't be further from the experience of eating a BLT sandwich, but intriguingly enough, tastes just like one. Frou-frou sandwich—or manly dessert? You decide.


It's true that nothing beats a real slab of bacon, but if you'd prefer to try to drink your sandwich instead of eat it, this should quench your palate right.
