"Don’t let Republique’s fancy French pastry case fool you. Their breakfast sandwich is essentially an upmarket take on the Jimmy Dean you find in the frozen aisle, and that’s no complaint. The main difference is that the version here swaps in a featherlight housemade brioche bun for the standard english muffin, but everything else tastes comfortingly familiar: the strong whiff of black pepper in the pork belly sausage, melted american cheese, and a generous swab of mayo that mixes with the runny yolk to keeping every bite saucy." - garrett snyder, arden shore, brant cox, cathy park
