What’s the point in being rich if you can’t have better breakfast sandwiches than other people?— Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) October 13, 2015
No worries.
The market will decide if BEC lives or dies.
Unless the government gets involved.
More than it already is.
I thought liberals enjoyed redistributing the wealth?
Does he want a world with working class and upscale breakfast sandwiches? Or would he prefer a world with no breakfast sandwiches?
Would the Minister of Breakfast Foods (Michelle Obama) allow the government to make such high calorie, high fat foods to serve to the masses? I think not.
If this is in Manhattan, its customers are snobby liberals who think that “breakfast sandwiches” are greasy, calorie-filled food that only fat, ignorant Red Staters eat, and they need to be suckered into eating them by having some snobby boutique sell them for $11.50 a sandwich and call them something else.
A hand wringer just keepin’ the income stream flowing...
What’s this obsession with equality?
Some things cost more than others, even breakfast sandwiches.
Some people produce more value than others.
Use your own money to buy what you want with what you earned.
A microwaved mass produced bagel, mass scrambled high volume eggs, a slice of Kraft singles, and a slice of cheap bacon is... cheap, both in cost and quality.
A handmade bagel made of hand ground chemical free wheat cooked in a wood oven, truly free range eggs, imported gourmet cheese, and a slice of lean whatever’s-best fed bacon is expensive, and yes tastes much better.
Not everyone had earned the latter. Those who have need not be compelled to the former.
Argh!
Is this the do-do who reviewed Guy Fieri’s NYC restaurant as if expecting it to produce Michilin-starred food? And he’s got this wrong too: the best of these sandwiches is FRIED egg not scrambled egg. That way it soaks into the roll and the bacon. New York Times is such an embarrassment.
I don't want to be rich and have rich sandwiches while being watched.
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!
Of course if you are paying a $15.00 minimum wage, the price has to be $11.00 or higher!
” 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!
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.
“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.

What’s the point of living in Manhattan if you can’t get an artisanal egg sandwich?
Never been to BEC but that neighborhood will buy well-made breakfast sandwiches for $11.50.
