Tommy Bahamas

Q. For me the classic BLT is a complete meal, and I frequently enjoy one for breakfast, lunch or supper. I'm always looking for a new twist on this classic when I study restaurant menus. Seen a good one lately?

A. Not only have I seen it but I ate it, and you should, too. It's the St. Bart's Shrimp BLT at Tommy Bahama's on St. Armands Circle. The big sourdough toasted sandwich is composed of lemon grilled shrimp, smoked bacon, lettuce and tomato smeared with garlic aioli and served with a snappy Asian shredded salad and skinny French fries. $14. Enjoy this one for lunch or dinner (probably not breakfast) when you want something full flavored and filling. Tommy Bahama's, 300 John Ringling Blvd., St. Armands Circle, Sarasota. 388-2888.
