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!
