"Like the original in East Williamsburg, Win Son Bakery is a breakfast specialist. At this Taiwanese-American counter-service spot, you can sit at a little table and coat your fingertips with sauce and cheese. The BEC on a scallion pancake with melted havarti and crisp planks of bacon deserves every bit of its modern classic status, and the mortadella version is a close second. You can also pop in for lunch or dinner, in case you need to grab a quick burger, tray of fried chicken, or box of minced pork over rice." - will hartman, bryan kim, willa moore, kenny yang, neha talreja
"This counter-service Taiwanese-American cafe in East Williamsburg (from the people behind Win Son across the street) has fan tuan, mochi doughnuts, and one of the city's best breakfast sandwiches. That BEC comes by default on a milk bun, but for an extra $6, you can—and absolutely should—get it served on a warm, chewy scallion pancake instead." - bryan kim, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, sonal shah
"At both the original and East Village Win Son Bakery, the main attraction is the BEC on a chewy scallion pancake. It’s crisped up and smushed together, so that the pancake, eggs, oozing havarti, and crisp planks of bacon fuse into a single dense and unreasonably greasy mass. If you aren’t into bacon, you can also get it with mortadella, chives, or pastrami beef tongue." - willa moore, will hartman, carlo mantuano, bryan kim
"If all of our weekdays started with a meal in the bright, open space at Win Son Bakery, we'd all be considerably nicer people. Stop by this counter-service spot in East Williamsburg tomorrow morning, and test our theory. You’ll find Taiwanese pastries like mochi doughnuts and pine nut cookies on the menu, in addition to one of the city’s best BECs, which comes on a scallion pancake with havarti." - bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah, will hartman
