Best Bacon Egg + Cheese in CT?

[ColchVEGAS]

Circle Pizza in Madison at the rt 80/79 circle. I have not lived down that way in some time, but that was my go to breakfast sandwich. Ordered it with homefries on the sandwich and the best part was always being surprised at what they charged. Depending how they felt that day it could be anywhere from $2.75 to 4 and change.

kid you not - Mobile Station grill at exit 14 in Southbury - Egg & cheese and hard roll 1.50 made to order

The Brookfield one is better, but they are good too. The Brookfield one is actually fantastic for just about everything. It's my favorite deli in the area

Funny I was going to post this as my go-to but thought it was too obscure to be useful to others. This is the exact place I had in mind when I referenced going for the sausage patty instead of the bacon. I like their sausage patty better, and my wife and/or daughter usually get a BEC and only eat half, so I get their BEC scraps, which is perfect for me. Just had a round of these on Sunday. I have never had the home fries on the sandwich but will ask next time. My wife gets them on the side occasionally and I have liked them when I've had them.

With all the mention of the various Mobil delis, I also have to throw in Deli Unlimited in Guilford, in the Gulf station, as another solid contender. They are easily my second choice to Country Cow because they will also use a Portuguese roll on request.

Respect on the Deli U mention, everything is good there. I have enjoyed many Larry Birds.

Tenafly is too bougie to get a good Taylor Ham Egg and Cheese. Maybe a sou vied egg with artisan bacon, and Gruyere on a croissant.

Are Brenda and Eddie still a big hit there?

Don't know. Lost track of them in the summer of '75.

Best Sausage, Egg and Cheese in CT can be had at the Winsted Diner. It's called the The Ra-Doc-A-Doodle in honor of the Diner's former owner Bob Radochhio.

Man, that's a sore spot almost as bad as pizza & bagels for me. There are a handful of us CT ex-pats on the r/pittsburgh subreddit who pine for actual hard rolls.

However, the best I've found in the past decade weren't in CT. They were from a bakery in Carle Place, LI.

I have a pretty good recipe that gave me the crumbly crust and soft innards, but I don't use it as wife no longer eats bread and they don't freeze well.

I'll also add that a summer fresh garden tomato slice bumps your standard BEC to 11 and cheddar is too greasy, it needs American, although you can get away with Colby or ColbyJack.

Im in VA. When I say hard roll people have 0 idea what it is. They say, why would someone want a roll that is hard... Yuck... blows me away. But this is the same place where people think Einstein bagels or Panera is the Shiiznits when it comes to bagels. I just laugh and keep on moving.

The Eversource cafeteria made a pretty good one. But working there sucked so I retired.

 

[uconnphil2016]

Mike turned me onto the bakery across from the Diamond in Glastonbury. It’s pretty good - but I hate places that have chaos for a line to order.

Patty cakes. Pretty good

bacon, eggs and cheese belong on a proper southern biscuit.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Can we all agree that establishments (and there are 3 here within spitting distance in Essex as I type this) that scramble the eggs for their breakfast sandwiches instead of a broken yolk fried egg should all be burned to the ground?

Please lets get that stipulated before some dope like Dove comes here and starts singing the praises of something hideous.

I'll only eat scrambled egg breakfast sandwiches. Fried eggs are wrong, although the broken yolk certainly beats the runny uncooked yolk.

Pepper Pot in Southington but there must be a 1000 way tie.

Notch Store in Cheshire. Best breakfast sandwich I have ever had.

The “hungry man” was a go-to for me back in the day. Two eggs, double cheese, sausage and a hash brown on a roll

The real answer is:

The closest place I can get to with a hangover.

Went on a business trip (boondoggle) in NJ once. Woke up the next morning with a Grade 5 hangover. Me and my co-worker pulled off the Jersey Tpke and into some little diner. The BEC was pure heaven. Got done with it, looked at him and said "I'm getting another one" and we both scoffed down the second one faster than the first.

Growing up in northern Westchester then attending UConn made me realize I took deli’s for granted. I’m not one to say NY trumps CT in pizza, CT has some great pizza. But the CT deli scene is pathetic.

it's not bad in Fairfield County. We have some decent ones in the Danbury area, but there is a lot of bad too

Really? I grew up going to good Italian delis in Waterbury and Torrington. There were certainly no good Jewish delis though.

Granted I've only lived in Storrs, West Hartford and New Britain. So I'm speaking a bit out of my a**

I live in Cheshire and the notch is nowhere near the top of the list locally. Lousy flavorless roll, cheap cheese.

While on this topic I’m wondering what the best bacon for purchase out there? So far there is an Applewood bacon I got at Shoprite. It was thick cut and better than any I ever had.

The old Brookfield Deli used to deep fry their bacon and it was so good
