My first memorable meal in Charleston, South Carolina, was a BLT. After that, I noticed that this classic appears on lunch menus around the city. A lifetime believer in sandwiches-for-lunch, I promptly devised a plan to find the best BLTs in Charleston, using this mission to try great food without breaking the bank.

Here’s a taste of my favorites, five delicious sandwiches that are affordable, often made from local and seasonal ingredients, and enjoyed in a cool, friendly atmosphere.

The Gourmet- Cru Café Shrimp BLTMore elaborate than most, this encompasses the best of summer dining in Charleston. Featuring seared shrimp and maple bacon aioli, it’s decadent, but full of the sweet flavors of Carolina shrimp.

The Classic- Ted’s Butcherblock BLT
