"The BEC (bacon, egg, and cheese, if you don’t speak brunch) is to New Yorkers what breakfast tacos are to Austin—lifeblood, and a part of our identity that we get oddly defensive about. The next time your friends visit from New York and complain that they can’t get a BEC like they do back home, take them to Eggman in South Austin. The menu is short, consisting mostly of breakfast sandwiches, chopped cheeses, and coffee, but what Eggman lacks in size, they make up for in execution. Everything is made to order here, so sandwiches can take a few minutes. They’re worth the wait. The rolls are soft and toasted, the eggs are fried perfectly, and the bacon crisps with a delightful snap. This is mostly a morning operation, but if you find yourself here closer to noon, consider getting a chopped cheese. It’s more expensive than your average big-city bodega, but it’s the tastiest version in Austin. Food Rundown photo credit: Nicolai McCrary Bacon, Egg, & Cheese The classic sandwich. The rolls are soft and toasted, the bacon is crispy, the eggs are jammy, and there’s plenty of cheese. We also love that you can choose a sauce (we like the sweet and spicy on this). photo credit: Nicolai McCrary NYC Chopped Cheese At around $15, this isn’t your casual bodega chopped cheese. It’s better. The meat is tender and surrounded by a gooey mix of three cheeses, and it’s served on the same toasted roll as the breakfast sandwiches. We like this with the house hot sauce." - Nicolai McCrary
