We went off the beaten path throughout Tucson to find 16 of Tucson's most scrumptious sandwiches.
Today's sandwich: Big Al's BLT
• Where: Hot Rod Cafe, 2831 N. Stone Ave., 903-2233 (tucsonhotrodcafe.com).
• Sandwich: Big Al's BLT ($4.79).
• Description: Simplicity is the beauty of this classic sandwich.
And where better to get some lunchtime fuel than at the family-owned Hot Rod Cafe? You choose white or wheat bread, which then is toasted and layered with bacon, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise and, for a Southwestern twist, some avocado. Make it a meal deal with a medium drink and chips for $1.89; $2.19 for a large (substitute the chips with pasta or potato salad for a little extra). Plan to eat in house and enjoy decor that includes cleverly redesigned car parts.
