Cooking it
Start to finish is the longest chain through the table, so branches that overlap are counted once. That is why the waits add up to more than the clock — and it only holds if you get them going together.
Tap a step when it is done; the next one lights up.

2 of the 4 steps never say how long they take, so both numbers are floors. It adds up to more hands-on time than the whole dish takes because two branches run at once — which needs someone free to run both. The recipe itself says 20 min.

Drawn to scale, so a long wait really does take up the room it takes. The shortest stretches keep a sliver so they stay visible; their times are printed beside them. Bars that line up are happening at the same time.

Fry @thick-cut bacon{6%slices} in a #skillet{} over medium heat ~fry{8%min}, turning and pressing, until it is flat and brittle. Curled bacon is what makes a club slide apart on the plate.
Toast @white sandwich bread{6%slices} ~toast{3%min}, three slices to a sandwich — the middle slice is what makes it a club rather than a large sandwich.
Spread @mayonnaise{3%Tbs}(45 mL) over every inside face of @&(~1)toast{}, right to the edges.
Layer @&(~3)bacon{}, @roast turkey{6%oz}(170 g; sliced thin), @beefsteak tomato{1%large}(in 1/4-in slices), @iceberg lettuce{4%leaves}, @kosher salt{1/4%tsp} and @black pepper{1/4%tsp} across @&(~1)dressed toast{} in two decks — turkey below, bacon and tomato above — then run a pick through each quarter and cut corner to corner both ways. The picks go in before the knife, or the decks slide.
