Set in his distinctive typeface, Lawrence Weiner’s recipe for a Californian diner sandwich bears all the hallmarks of his conceptual wall texts – built from modest elements, poetic in its expression and universal in its appeal. Three cherished staples of American food (creamy peanut butter, crispy bacon and crunchy iceberg lettuce) are heaped atop one another for an unexpected mix of textures and flavours. Wash it down with a neat malt whiskey.
