Do this. Get a tomato. Not just any tomato. A Slocomb, Alabama, tomato. Make sure the tomato is firecracker-red and softer than the hindcheeks of a 2-month-old. Find a serrated knife. Cut said tomato into thick slices about the width of the unabridged edition of “Shogun.”
Tomatoes from Geneva County, Alabama, are different from common varieties. They are superior tomatoes.
In fact, top archaeology scholars at Columbia University now believe that the original Garden of Eden was located just north of Highway 52 in Geneva County. And most experts agree that the forbidden fruit consumed by Adam and Eve was originally purchased from the Hendrix Farm Produce tomato stand.
Next, find two slices of Sunbeam bread. In a pinch, you can use Bunny Bread, Wonderbread, or Colonial bread. But stay away from any bread with packaging labels that read something like, “59 whole grains and seeds!” or “3,234 grams of dietary fiber!” This isn’t real bread but an abrasive material meant for sanding boat hulls.
Consequently, if all you have in your pantry is “gluten-free” or “keto” bread, please stop reading here and go back to California.
Once you have your white, floppy, flaccid, tasteless bread ready, open a jar of Duke’s mayonnaise. Duke’s is the brand with the canary-yellow lid, manufactured and packaged by real evangelical seminary graduates so you know it’s sacred, mostly.
If you don’t have any Duke’s, you’re not totally out of luck. Blue Plate mayonnaise will also work nicely. Bama mayonnaise is also a winner.
Hellmann’s, however, isn’t fit for consumption by a golden retriever. Similarly, Miracle Whip is neither a “miracle,” nor a “whip,” but the brainchild of communists sympathizers who don’t love the Lord. And Kraft mayo is industrial doorknob lubricant.
It bears mentioning, if all you have in your refrigerator is a kind of mayonnaise labeled “light” or “low fat” please forfeit your tomato to someone who will use it correctly and resume doing Crossfit until your buttocks turn into tiny shriveled prunes.
Next, use a No. 8 masonry trowel to apply approximately one gallon of approved mayonnaise onto your limp, lifeless, nutrition-free bread. If the bread is still visible after mayonnaise application, you did it wrong.
Step Four. Carefully place slices of tomato onto your prepared bread. If, by chance, your bread has already absorbed too much mayonnaise and tomato juices and is now disintegrating into a papier-mache-like puddle on your kitchen counter, and it no longer resembles bread, congratulations, you’re on the right track.
Salt and pepper to taste.
If you discover that you are tempted to add cheese or onions or lettuce or something else weird to your sandwich, thereby violating the Holy Trinity of tomatoes, mayo and bread, please step away from the cutting board. Take deep breaths, open a can of Natural Light and start sipping until the urge passes.
Next, place both segments of your sandwich together slowly and softly. Warning: Do not compress sandwich. Do not cut sandwich in half. Do not even blink or your sandwich will fall apart.
Now, gently lift your sandwich—very gently—as though you are assisting in a heart transplant operation. Walk across the kitchen and stand over the sink. Say grace silently.
Go ahead, we’ll wait.
To eat sandwich, open mouth wide, place one corner into mouth and bite firmly. Your tomato wedges should slip from between the pieces of bread, shooting forward, falling directly into your sink, leaving you with two naked pieces of bread. If this does not happen you did not use enough mayonnaise.
Retrieve tomato hunks from the basin of your nasty, crud-covered, salmonella-encrusted sink while cussing liberally.
Replace mangled remains of tomato onto sandwich and attempt to eat sandwich a second time, making sure to mash your soggy, glutenous, snot-like bread pieces together until they are indistinguishable from lumps of Elmer’s Glue.
After the third or fourth bite, the front of your shirt should be stained red, covered in tiny seeds and your kitchen should look like a hog killing has recently been performed on the linoleum.
When your sandwich expenditure is finished, you can slap yourself heartily on the shoulder because you have just eaten a proper tomato sandwich. You may now recite the ceremonial benediction uttered by Alabamians statewide every summer:
“Thank you, Lord, for bananas,
“Granny Smiths and Tropicana,
“But most of all, for all the ‘maters,
“Raised in Slocomb, Alabama.”
Amen.

You are talking to a tomato lover. So be it.
Joe - July 1, 2022 4:31 am
You are getting soft. Can’t believe you condone conduct like substituting for Dukes. Never buy anything else and have plenty of Dukes at all times so you won’t have to use inferior Mayo.

Oh my gosh I am sooo hungry now 🍅🥪😋🤤😆

Dang. Where’s a tomato when you need one at 12:43 am!!
Linda Willson - July 1, 2022 4:45 am
Ok, I’m armed with the proper Mayo (Duke rules!), potato bread, my one diversion from your plan but I really need for you to ship a basket of those tomatoes to me. I’m in search mode for a true farm raised, red, delicious tomato. I’m not sure what they do to tomato plants now but they just don’t produce the tomatoes I ate as a child…
Lori Lipsky - July 1, 2022 4:57 am

One of the few tutorials I’ve ever read that was absolutely and completely spot on. That was perfect. However….be advised that I will expect another equally detailed tutorial dealing with the onrushing withdrawal effects when tomato season is over in Geneva County and we all have to go back to eating those imitation tomatoes grown in a hothouse behind a big chicken coop in Elefino, Florida by a convicted felon named Fred. Those will be sad times
Sandi. - July 1, 2022 8:06 am
I agree with you, Sean. The very best way to eat a fresh tomato sandwich is standing at the kitchen sink!.

Sean this sounds like most of my lunches and some suppers over the past two weeks. You see on Tuesdays I have to be on the North side of Montgomery. In fact I drive right by the State Farmers Market at the Coliseum. My truck has been drawn into the parking lot, and yes they have a plentiful supply of Slocomb Maters.
I get home and start preparing just about the way you describe. I carefully calculate the mater. One mater should make two sandwiches….here we say sammiches. There should be just a little left on the bottom. Cut these pieces off and save for later.
After eating the two sammiches then eat the remaining pieces as finger food.
It’s now 5am. I was contemplating what’s for breakfast. Now you convinced me. A mater sammich is good anytime of day.
And oh by the way. In a few weeks the Slocomb maters will be gone but not to worry. Then will come Sand Mountain maters around the first part of August. They almost as good.
God really showed out when he made Slocomb and Sand Mountain Maters!
Breakfast time!

Hilarious and soooo true. Duke mayonnaise rules. As do the big red beefsteak tomatoes made for ultimate tomato sandwiches.

My granny called them sink sandwiches. One if my cherished memories is of Ethel eating at the sink. Seems like she was always at the sink. 9 kids will do that to you. I have 4 Cherokee Purples growing in the front yard that hope to make it to sandwich heaven some day soon. Tried something new/old this year. Drop a banana in a quart jar of water and let sit for 3 days. Pour the water into your tomato plants. Its suppose to increase blooms and mine are covered this year. Don’t know if it was the nana but that is what the old seasoned farmer told me to do.
Leigh Amiot - July 1, 2022 11:51 am
Look up Guy Clark on YouTube singing “Home Grown Tomatoes”— https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-QzLIjL1u4
Best tomato I ever ate was indeed one I grew. Organic is a very close second, even the Walmart carries those! I agree with you on good, old-fashioned Duke’s Mayonnaise, but it would be fun to see you and Chuck settle Duke’s vs. Blue Plate. 🤣
Terry Snell - July 1, 2022 11:53 am

Bless your heart Joy!! RUN, do not walk, to the nearest grocery store to get the bread and Mayo and scour the area till you can find an appropriate tomato!! If there are none in your area, purchase a ticket for the next plane out!!
Mac - July 1, 2022 12:30 pm
Brings back memories of my mother who was born and raised in Andalusia, AL. She loved tomato samiches. So does my wife. I am the only one in my family that doesn’t like tomatoes and the good Lord knows I have tried. Love them any way but raw. It’s a shame cause they alway look so delicious, especially Slocomb tomatoes.
Katy Maddox - July 1, 2022 12:40 pm
My ribs hurt and my funny bone is green stick broken, Sean! You should get a Pulitzer for this one- as a recent transplant to the Ham from said region of the Holy Grail, I’m gonna expire very soon unless I find either equivalent tomatoes or a crack cocaine dealer. It’s just not summer yet without them (she says as she plugs in the electric churn for homemade peach ice cream!).
Stick Miller - July 1, 2022 12:48 pm
Great stuff Sean. I fight the Dukes vs Hellmans (lite) on a daily basis. I shall never surrender!

I actually shipped 3 bubble wrapped homegrown Elloree, SC tomatoes to my daughter working at Yellowstone NP about 30 years ago. Complete with Dukes and Merita bread!

You may want to make a sandwich with three pieces of bread. More mayo and more tomato that way. Try it.

Perfect tutorial!! We have one of these sandwiches pretty much daily with ‘maters from our garden. The tomato eatin’ season started last week!!
ALISON W BREWER - July 1, 2022 1:48 pm
Small logistical correction: instead of eating over that sink, simply use a scottowels and eat over the kitchen counter. Much easier to retrieve those loose tomatoes!
Karen - July 1, 2022 9:09 pm
Sounds like delicious type of tomato. The only thing I do differently is toast my bread. Can’t do mushy bread.

Rebecca Jackson - July 1, 2022 1:54 pm
Priceless! Although Baldwin County, AL and Smith County, MS tomato lovers challenge you to taste their ‘maters and see if you change your opinion.
Diane Freeman - July 1, 2022 2:17 pm
Yes! Truth!
Don’t know about Slocomb tomatoes, but do know Cleburne County, Alabama tomatoes are to die for! I keep trying to grow a Trickum Valley tomato in the Florida Panhandle and just wasting my time!!

Paul Alge - July 1, 2022 2:42 pm
Hey Sean there is nothing like a homegrown tomato samich And Dukes mayo is pretty good But you are so wrong about Kraft Mayo. Maybe because I was raised on it. But I’ve tried them all but always go back to Kraft. It’s the best. But finding homegrown tomatoes since I moved to Tn. is a problem. There hard to grow here. I tried for years. No matter what I do something happens. They get eaten by critters of all forms and sizes. Can’t blame them and I hope they have some Kraft Mayo and Sunbeam bread.
Linda Moon - July 1, 2022 2:46 pm

Alabama red tomatoes may be delicious but you also have to try a “pink” tomato from Warren, Arkansas.
Jo Henra - July 2, 2022 8:46 pm
Best “salad” I ever had was at the Capital Hotel Restaurant in Little Rock, AR – one huge slice each of red, pink and green tomatoes with some kind of heavenly dressing. Been years and I have never forgotten about it. South Alabama transplant living in St. Charles, MO now and the best tomatoes we can get are from Arkansas. We so get Georgia peaches – but you should have seen me when I came across a display of Chilton County peaches on top of Durbin Farms boxes. Took pictures o the store with tears streaming down my face!
Gail Eaves - July 1, 2022 3:24 pm
The best! Duke’s only, Sunbeam or Wonder, s&p. Sop up the juice on the plate with that last bite of crust. Heaven.
Suellen - July 1, 2022 3:29 pm
I found homegrown tomatoes at the Farmer’s Market last week. Paid a small fortune for them and stood in line for 20 minutes. I’ve been eating tomato sandwiches for lunch all week. Is it OK if I added some fried Spam to them? Hahahaha!

Spectacular description of a tomato sandwich… start to finish!!!
Thank you! Just Loved this one!!!
stephenpe - July 1, 2022 4:01 pm
The wife just fried some ham and my sammich was like a BLT on speed. Lettuce, tomato and fried ham with some of that door knob lubricant my wife swears by. I do have some of the other stuff for me. Btw the tomato from Brother Guy’s garden in Newberry Fla has to be a close 2nd to Slocumbs finest……..after the ham was gone it was the tomato sammich you were describing…………

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! I’m still laughing over this one and it just may be the funniest article you’ve ever written next to when you took your wife and Mother-in-Law out to eat and they had platters of food and you had one tiny BBQ sandwich. I look forward to summer every year because you always write some great tomato sandwich stories.

Dear Sean, I love your books and kindhearted attention to detail. Thank you. This week, there were a few posts that gave me pause but I respect your desire to tell the world your view of things. Your gluten free comments however are hurtful. I have struggled with celiac disease for years. Many others do too. It is a tough condition that makes it a challenge to find a meal if you just want to go out and not inconvenience anyone and not be judged by someone labeling you as high maintenance. The tradeoff is a day in bed followed by days when you can’t leave the house because you’re afraid how far you can make it without a bathroom. I have no intention of moving to California.
Sheryl Neal - July 2, 2022 2:55 pm
I too have celiac (and I live in CA!) and took no offense at all. He obviously was referring to those who choose to be gluten free. In the daily struggles I have with celiac, what a delight to read this and enjoy a good belly laugh.

Amy Jones - July 2, 2022 1:50 am
Spending summers with my grandparents in Dothan, it wasn’t until I was a full grown adult that I understood fully that tomatoes are not created equal. Until said time, I thought all tomatoes were the quality of Slocumb tomatoes because that’s all I’ve ever had the privilege to eat. I’ll be having me one of these tomorrow!!!!
Lynn - July 2, 2022 10:25 am
The tomato has to be room temp or even fresh picked warm. Refrigerating it is sacrilegious. A cold ‘mater changes the whole dynamic.
Nancy Carnahan - July 2, 2022 3:30 pm
I remember tomato sandwiches. We were poor and ate what we had. We sometimes had to take tomato sandwiches to school for lunch. If you don’t know what happens to white bread, mayonnaise, and tomatoes in the hours between construction and consumption, try making one and letting it set!
I’m not celiac but I am gluten sensitive AND I’m allergic to tomatoes AND I live in California although I grew up in Alabama. Sandwiches, pizza, and pasta are difficult.
If you have to buy tomatoes, let them set on the counter for a couple of days. They get riper and almost edible. Don’t put them in the refrigerator. It makes them weird.
Jo Rose - July 2, 2022 6:37 pm

Lori L - August 1, 2022 1:20 am
Obviously you have never had an Indiana grown tomato. Since we don’t have access to Slocomb tomatos, I will have to say our Indiana beefsteak tomatos are the best! 😉 Try them if you ever get a chance. Our Hoosier hospitality is second to none!
Doug - August 3, 2022 11:37 am
See, this is good, but to make a truly righteous tomato sandwich you need to add some Lay’s potato chips. Adds both salt and crunch. And not Ripples or barbeque or any other flavor chip, just original Lay’s chips.
You’re welcome.
