Five Easy Pieces

The Bacon, Egg and Cheese, Five Ways

The bacon, egg and cheese. If there were a lifetime sandwich achievement award, it’d win. Every year. But now, it’s evolved beyond the sandwich into new magical forms. And these are those forms. Enjoy...

PRETZEL FORM

The Pretzel Bomb at the General

The what: It’s a puffed-up sphere of pretzel with your favorite three breakfast ingredients baked right in. You might want to get a few of these.
The when: The 6am, post-dancing-at-Finale, pre-bedtime snack. Your schedule’s what makes you unique.

FRENCH FRY FORM

Bloody Mary Bacon Fries at Hudson

The what: It’s a cardboard boat of thrice-cooked duck-fat fries—loaded with cheese curds, pickled okra, thick chunks of bacon, jalapeño and... oh, right, the fried egg.
The when: 1:30am, between the last and second-to-last beers of the night. Maximum soak-up effect: achieved.

PANCAKE FORM

The Dutch Pancake at Potlikker

The what: It’s a fat, crispy pancake that’s about a foot wide and topped with cheddar, bacon and an over-easy egg.
The when: A Saturday morning leisurely sit-down. Because pancakes need to be finessed.

RAMEN FORM

Bacon-and-Egg Mazeman at Yuji Ramen

The what: It’s a brothless ramen dish with crumbled bacon. Oh, and there’s a poached egg bleeding yolk onto the whole beautiful mess. Small deduction for lacking cheese. Points awarded for takeout ability.
The when: When your hangover persists into lunchtime.

PIE FORM

The Pot Pie at Pie Face

The what: It’s a flaky-crusted breakfast B, E & C pie with an added dash of tomato and cream.
The when: The morning after. Procure a dozen. Bring ’em to work. Be a hero.
