"A brown butter–fried egg and fontina BEC served on tender milk bread that becomes unforgettable when ordered 'slathered'—an off-menu add of Old Bay aioli and candied jalapeños that creates a memorable sweet-spicy-savory profile." - Adam H. Callaghan
"Another Danny Lee concept that was part of the restaurateur nomination recognizing his work across several establishments." - Missy Frederick
"Capitol Hill’s cutely named hangout fueled by local purveyors cracked open in 2023. I Egg You comes from Fried Rice Collective, the team behind D.C.’s critically acclaimed Anju and Chinese-Korean counter ChiKo. Dressed up with all sorts of odes to its yolky namesake, the menu specializes in hearty breakfast sandwiches built with bread from Shilla Bakery, meats from Logan Sausage, and fish from Ivy City Smokehouse. Hours are 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekdays and 4 p.m. on weekends." - Tierney Plumb
"We all know someone who hates eggs, and while the two of you might not agree on the importance of scrambled vs. fried, you will both agree that you don’t ever want to go to I Egg You. The Barracks Row breakfast spot, from the team behind Chiko, is a pop-up turned brick-and-mortar that serves mostly egg-based dishes like sandwiches, potatoes, and solo eggs topped with Old Bay aioli. But the flavors are as sterile as the hospital-like interior. Your best bet here is coming through the morning after a night out, where you can carbo load the fluffy bread (our favorite thing on the menu) and down Pedialyte and Liquid IV—also on the menu—until you can see your veins again." - Tristiaña Hinton
"I Egg You, the fun, egg-focused breakfast and lunch spot that opened on Barracks Row back in the fall from ChiKo and Anju vets Scott Drewno and Danny Lee." - Missy Frederick
