The Perfect Southern Tomato Sandwich

German Johnson, Better Boy, Big Beef… there’s so many to choose from. And the best thing about tomato sandwiches is that there’s no correct way to make one. It’s literally the consumer’s preference, and each creation is just a good as the next.

Did you know that we carry juicy Better Boy tomatoes, and are soon to carry NC farmer grown German Johnson and Heirloom tomatoes. You can order online and pick up today! Don’t forget that we still have a good variety of tomato plants for you to grow yourself.

What makes the perfect tomato sandwich for you? For us, it’s a good slather of Duke’s mayonnaise on two slices of Sourdough bread from Sour Bakery (which you can pick up at Converge Coffee Bar & Cafe if you’re local to the Burlington, NC area). Add two juicy slices of a Better Boy tomato and one slice of a yellow tomato, salt and pepper to taste, and you have yourself a good ole’ southern tomato sandwich. Take it a step further by toasting your bread beforehand. And if you REALLY want to take it up a notch, add a few slices of fresh bacon, onion, and some shredded lettuce for a nice crunchy texture, full of juicy flavor.

Serve with a side of baked beans, fresh slaw, or potato chips, and you have yourself a good ole southern style meal that will forever be a summer classic to individuals and families alike for generations to come.
