"Bodega Park might not be a real bodega, but their breakfast sandwich is a pretty spot-on dupe for one you’d find at a corner deli. The BEC nails all the textures: a hot fried egg with a layer of golden film, lots of gooey cheddar that oozes, and a crackly roll that’s blistered like a fancy pizza crust. It’s also stuffed with so many crisped-up bacon strips wedged inside they’ll start to slide around if you’re not holding it tight." - garrett snyder, arden shore, brant cox, cathy park
"Chef Eric Park’s bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich is the standout at this busy Silver Lake shop. This is not a full-on New York remake, Bodega Park’s chopped cheese is a pure SoCal version on a pressed hero roll with chopped beef, American cheese, grilled onions and jalapeños, shredded lettuce, tomato, ketchup, and mayo. Both are equally delicious and served all day." - Mona Holmes
"Chef Eric Park’s sandwiches pull influences from New York City, Korea, and Southern California in the best way. His chopped cheese is a love letter to the NYC classic with slight LA elements, piling chopped beef patty, American cheese, grilled onions, roasted jalapeños, shredded lettuce, tomato, ketchup, and mayo on a pressed hero roll. Former New Yorkers, beware: This sandwich might come with an overwhelming sense of nostalgia, but with a twist. Bodega Park’s coffee is on point, especially the misugaru black sesame that’s shaken with oat milk and two shots of espresso." - Mona Holmes
"In early 2022, chef Eric Park and his wife Miriam opened a minimalist cafe that pays homage to New York City bodegas while deftly weaving Korean and SoCal influences into its casual menu. Kim’s sandwiches are the stars, from a spicy house-made pork bulgogi roll to a classic chopped cheese and a Big Apple-style bacon, egg, and cheese on a toasted roll. The coffee, sourced from Korean American roaster House Roots, is drawing raves, too." - Rebecca Roland
"Bodega Park's [version] is a little cleaner than a chopped cheese you'd get in New York, but I think that caters to the LA market. What's awesome is the jalapeño. The lettuce and tomato cut through the rich fattiness of the meat. Then they add the perfect amount of cheese, which melts it all together. I mean, a chopped cheese is a chopped cheese, but I think they do it really well. And there aren't many places in LA where you can go get one. You're not gonna feel great after eating it, but you also won't feel terrible." - brennan carley
