“If I felt like forgetting parts of the evening, I’d make myself a sandwich like this the next day. A sandwich that says ‘It’s OK.’”

Claire Bergé-Lefranc, the chef at a French restaurant called Chicken Bacon Lettuce, specializes in making better takeaway food, to offer food that is “less plastic, less depressing” than your typical to-go lunch items. And staying true to the name of her restaurant, Bergé-Lefranc has created the best ever recipe for a chicken, bacon and lettuce sandwich, which to her is the ultimate comfort food.

Even though this sandwich is an American classic, Bergé-Lefranc makes a few changes to create a more French version of the sandwich, like using horseradish sauce instead of ranch or mayonnaise, and even making her own pickles.

Bergé-Lefrance makes each component of the sandwich by hand using the best ingredients, transforming an ordinary lunch food into something gourmet.
