National BLT Day: Tony’s in Burch Run

Author Ryan Logan

Today is national BLT day, and Tony’s in Burch Run has become nationally famous over the years for theirs.

If you have ever mad a stop at Tony’s in Burch Run, then you know the legend of the massive BLT there. For years I have heard about this massive sandwich packed with over a pound of bacon, but unfortunately I have never had the chance to try one.

Tony’s has been around for over 60 years, serving some of the biggest and tastiest sandwiches out there! The cooks at Tony’s say they go through about  11,000lbs of bacon, 625lbs of tomatoes, and 600lbs of onions weekly.

At Tony’s everything is big including their menu, they offer everything from sandwiches, steaks, seafood, Italian dishes, overflowing sundaes, and they serve breakfast all day long. Most people who eat at Tony’s said they will get a sandwich and eat on it for their whole ride up north!

A few years ago, Spike TV had a show all about food, so they visited Tony’s to see what the BLT and vibe was all about:

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
