"Of all LA’s pandemic pop-up success stories, Calabama and its sandwiches lowered via red bucket from a fire escape was the most iconic. These days, the bucket is gone—replaced by a walk-up window in Hollywood—but the cheese-oozing breakfast sandwiches remain. Fillings are straightforward and glorious: soft scrambled eggs, avocado, grilled onions, brown sugar bacon (there’s a vegetarian option too), and several slices of molten american cheese on white bread toasted with a generous amount of butter. It’s a decadent morning meal, but not so rich it’ll send you back to bed. Throw on some smoky-sweet house dipping sauce for a tangy kick." - garrett snyder, arden shore, brant cox, cathy park
