Well, even liberal NYers know that everyone in NYC who is not a snobby elitist eats greasy, calorie-filled sandwiches like the classic egg and bacon on a roll. That’s what drove Bloomberg nuts. He’s gone but the egg sandwich is still here.

Chick Fil A biscuit breakfast sandwich.

I actually like a couple at Starbucks but only buy them when they send me a coupon code.

Dang it! I’m sitting here with my toast, yogurt, or banana and those rich SOB’s get sandwiches!
Where’s my torch and pitchfork!

Have you ever tried those little breakfast sandwiches they serve-—chicken on the mini rolls?

They are SO good.

Of course if you are paying a $15.00 minimum wage, the price has to be $11.00 or higher!

Wait, what is that? Hash browns, egg, hamburger, cheese, bacon, on a sesame seed bun. That’s obscene. That’s excessive. I want one!

I think THIN toasted english muffins with big yeast holes on the bottom are key to placing and breaking the yolk of a perfectly poached Jumbo egg into, then a smattering of real canadian bacon bits, a thin slice of gruyere or swiss, capped with the lightly strawberry-jam spread into the cavities of the top of the muffin. No Fork/Knife Eggs benedict you don’t have to trash all the pots and pans to make. You can poach eggs in a 2-cup coffee maker if you add vinager, which cleans out the innards while you’re at it.

Make it S.E.C. (Scrapple, egg & cheese) and you might have a winner!

I’ll bet that $11 a sandwich they won’t last long. Just like that outfit that thought they could sell $3 cups of coffee just by giving it some fancy Italian name!

Most week days my breakfast consists of black coffee, a tin of smoked oysters smothered in Buffalo Wild Wings Thai Curry sauce and a couple Marlboro Reds.

I mix things up a bit on the weekends...

” BEC — short for Bacon Egg and Cheese”

Gosh you Americans are so weird!

‘Um it’s BLT - short for Bacon Lettuce and Tomato, in normal society!

I simply haven’t even heard of a bacon, scrambled egg and cheese combination.

We invented the sandwich you know, named for the Earl of Sandwich, yes Sandwich is a place.

So trust me when I say, you Americans are so weird with your food concoctions!

If you want an english muffin with holes in it..crumpets would work. I just can’t get used to them. One side is flat like a pancake and the other has deep indentations.

When I was in London the B&B served pork n beans every morning. I just couldn’t get used to that English breakfast.

Lol no I don’t like English breakfasts either.

I have a Continental breakfast myself, black coffee, croissant, Bavarian smoked cheese.

So I have a Franco-German thing going on :)

Um, here’s a novel suggestion for the writer and his friend: if you don’t like a place that sells upscale breakfast sammiches, don’t eat there.

The guy sounds like some SJW bleating about “cultural appropriation”, or like-minded nonsense. No one’s being hurt by someone wanting to fancy up an every day food item.

Taking Eggs Benedict on the Road: build it, run the top Muffin cap around and through the pooling yolk to soak up, top back on with some good fruit preserve, wrap it in small bakery parchment square then foil, eat it on your commute.

Place 4 toothpicks and quarter it if you have a treacherous drive such that you can't take your eyes off the road.

About 3 dollars.

“Chefs have a history of taking everyday foods and elevating them,” Russo explained.”

I’ll pick stuff up off the floor and put it on a plate if I’m cooking.
