Residents in Bradley County put on their gloves to make a 169-foot-long BLT (bacon, lettuce, and tomato) sandwich, using 60 pounds of sliced Bradley Tomatoes, 300 pounds of "Arkansas Tyson bacon" and 80 pounds of lettuce-setting the world record for the Longest BLT sandwich.
The sandwich took nearly two hours to build and contained about 300 pounds of bacon, 80 pounds of lettuce, 60 pounds of tomatoes and 220 ounces of mayonnaise.
The event occurred as the busiest days of the Bradley County Pink Tomato Festival arrived.
" Arkansas deserves the world record for the largest BLT, not some culinary school," David King, Warren Chamber of Commerce director, said."
