Here is my first attempt at a tempeh, lettuce and tomato (TLT) sandwich:
My TLT was based on the FFVK’s TLT Sandwich. I did not use the liquid smoke, as I had none, included caramelized onions and used 1 T of hummus instead of vegan mayo. (I recently purchased some vegan mayo, but have been hesitant to use it due to a few unpleasant encounters with it in the past. What is your favourite vegan mayo substitute? The Vegan Feast Kitchen has a recipe for a vegan BLT with homemade mayo.) My tempeh did not mimic the taste of bacon, but was pretty dang good nonetheless!

That bread looks so good! What kind is it?

It is Grainsfield Bakery’s “7-Grain Bread”, from Markham, ON. It is a dense and yummy bread, but I unfortunately will not be buying it anymore since I have just found out that they process breads containing tree nuts. (Good thing you made a comment about it ;)!)
