Best Bacon Egg + Cheese in CT?

[dvegas]

Grew up right near Reddi- Rooster. Great chicken! I am struggling to remember Alan’s. Was that the deli near Brambrut’s?

Yes. First place this recipient of a Mohel's services ever had a ham sandwich (although bacon was in the rotation long before that).

 

[Waquoit]

What kind of deli are you talking about? You can get great Italian grinders all over CT.

What Italian delis do we have in the Hartford area? I know where to get a nice capicola but I didn't think we were talking about grinder shops.

Uncles is good, but Mama Carmela’s loads you with bacon. If I’m hungover, their Chili, Egg & Cheese is my go-to! ... I’m sorry, Chili, Egg & Cheese is a different thread!

How about Valvala’s?

 

[whaler11]

This is blasphemy. A good BEC is probably my death row meal. It's the perfect food.

Be careful. I think within MSG the Dolans have more power than you’d think.

Rocking a BEC on vacation right now... now maybe you don’t think it’s worth it, but one of these babies fresh off the griddle makes next level BEC.

Drift just a couple miles over the Suffield CT line and hit 911 Burgers & Dogs in Feeding Hills. Great thick bacon with charrred sausage, egg & cheese on a very big, fresh roll which is a big key to any breakfast sandwich. Excellent stuff there in this little hut stop.

Is there anywhere in downtown Hartford to get a good BEC?

It's in the west end just out of downtown, but Mo's Midtown is worth the trip for a good breakfast, including BEC and a lot more.

Mo's on Sunday mornings is a hoot. A mix of people including hookers and some very hung over young people.

Home Plate deli in Monroe. Best I've ever had. Been eating them for many years and have the belly to prove it!

[Towney007]

It's a little lame because it's so touristy, but when Collin's Diner in Canaan is on (the food's inconsistent) they're as authentically 50's diner as it gets. MONSTER KILLER HOLY CRAP omlets there.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Best places closer to West Hartford? Not driving an hour for this obviously.

Bill & Sams in wolcott is a good BEC especially if you need to get everything movin.

I made a brisket, egg n cheese this morning. It was legit.

 

[CTMike]

I made an Italian version this morning with provolone and prosciutto. Delicious.

Pancetta kills bacon.

I still gave him a like for the effort. Most effort he's ever put into food.

I haven't read this whole thread, so forgive me if it's already been posted by someone, but this is the type of food that comes out best when you make it at home. When cooking eggs/egg sandwiches at home with your own ingredients, you can be the master of your own fate even if you're not a skilled chef.

Isn't that true of most foods? You go out to eat so you don't have to clean up.

There are some foods I won't order at a restaurant because they're not as good as my own cooking, but 90% of the time the food is going to be better at a good restaurant than off my stove.

I know it's not BEC per se, but any love here for the Tasty Yolk truck stationed on Park Ave, Bridgeport, near Sacred Heart (and another I think on Fairfield Ave in Black Rock)? It intercepted me en route from Trumbull to Comfy Cow once, and because I tend not to need to go further west became a happy go-to notwithstanding Comfy Cow being a winning answer.

 

[huskyblooz]

How about Valvala’s?

Valvala's sandwiches are not worth the price. Just like the Sugar Bowl. Jake's used to be good.

I used to get BEC from McD (way back) while driving to work (60 miles in this case). But a constant case of the ('emergency - emergency please to get from street') trots forced abandonment of the golden arches. Try to find a timely crapper on the highway under 'emergency' condiditons. I suppose there are institutions with receipies comprizing less grease / gunpowder. Look forward to the reviews.
