"If you’ve graduated beyond the typical BEC, there are 10 great fried egg options on the menu at Newkirk’s. The Mission counter stuffs their poppy seed rolls with everything from fried mortadella and pickled jalapeños to grilled salami or ribeye (though we’re partial to the pork sausage). Don’t forget to ask for a side of their zippy house habanero hot sauce." - patrick wong, julia chen 1
"The BEC breakfast sandwich from this Mission spot is more effective at getting us out of bed than our sunrise alarm lamp. That’s because of the bacon, American cheese, and over-medium egg that comes together to create a mix of gooey, salty goodness. Newkirk’s also has other “East Coast-style” sandwiches that we’ll always wake up an hour early for, stuffed with things like pastrami, grilled ribeye, and hash browns." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"The New York-style fried egg sandwiches from this counter-service spot in the Mission are what dreams are made of—if those dreams included the BEC. The hand-held concoction comes with american cheese, bacon, and a fried egg on a poppy seed roll. Words that come to mind when we think about it: gooey, incredible, order this. The other nine fried egg sandwiches on the menu are also worthwhile, like the one with hash browns and smoked bacon on a toasted french roll." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, lani conway, patrick wong
"Bacon egg and cheese this, bacon egg and cheese that. We get it. There is a serious lack of BECs around town. Which is why we should be happy that Newkirk’s exists. The Mission breakfast spot cranks out a ton of different types of egg sandwiches on squishy poppyseed buns, all made even better with their house hot sauce. Among the best is that BEC, which delivers on its ooey-gooey promise with melty american cheese, thick slabs of bacon, and, of course, a nicely fried egg." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
"This counter-service restaurant has been a major player in the San Francisco breakfast sandwich scene for some time now. They’ve perfected the East Coast-style BEC, which comes on a poppyseed-covered Kaiser roll and sports an ample layer of melted American cheese. Other options include the PEC (that’s pastrami, egg, and cheese) or HEC (ham, egg, and cheese), though if you want to break away from the classic format, try something like the Horse on the Roof, a two-hands-required sando stacked with steak, two eggs, and two kinds of cheese." - Matt Tillquist
