"As much as night owls hate to admit it, the best way to skirt the summer heat is to get up early. And the best part of waking up is not, in fact, Folgers, but bacon, egg, and cheese, preferably on a toasted bun. Eggman on South 1st meets all the criteria. It’s conveniently located near Zilker Park, so you can fuel up before your early-morning hangs (or circa 12pm, for all you snooze hitters)." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
"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. If we had to send one from Austin to compete in some kind of New England breakfast olympics, we’d pick Eggman. The buns are toasted and fluffy, the eggs are slightly jammy, and the bacon is perfectly crispy. The next time you want to start your morning with something handheld that isn’t a taco, head to this trailer on South 1st Street." - matthew jacobs, nicolai mccrary
"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 East Coast friends visit and complain that they can’t get a BEC like they do back home, take them to Eggman in South Austin. Everything is made to order, so sandwiches may 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." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs

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.

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
"The very filling New York-style breakfast sandwiches from the Bouldin Creek food truck are mostly under $9. Grab a classic bacon, egg, and cheese on a toasted roll to get the New York experience. Takeout and delivery orders can be placed online or in person, and delivery is available via DoorDash, UberEats, and ChowNow. There is also outdoor dining." - Erin Russell
