Do you prefer a bacon breakfast sandwich or a taylor ham breakfast sandwich?
Miss you guy😊😊
OH MY GOSH THE FIRST ONE IS MY DAD!!!!! I can tell you that they’re ALWAYS that generous with their food, camera or not. He refuses to let people leave with a bad experience. Definitely stop by Eastway Gourmet for good food and nice laughs!!! *he has the best jokes :)*
Your dad makes one hell of a BEC!!!
Haha yes he does thank you so much he’s so happy you guys visited!
No way! My parents are going to NYC this December, and we're hoping to join - breakfast sammiches are one of my fav things, and his look amazing! This was my recommendation to them after watching the video, I hope we get to try it :)
@@jocelynsmyth6604its reg price to if it’s over $6 they scamming tbh unless its really at a cafe but it’s best & tradition at a bodega
I’m about to head out there now. 🙌🏾🫶
The first place looked the best! You can’t beat the old school bodegas!
Hey Jon, just wanted to say we spent 2 beautiful weeks in NYC in August literally BASED on your video recommendations. Our 2 kids kept looking for you at every spot, unfortunately we didn’t see you :-) I not only wanted to thank you for your precious content, I also wanted to let you know: We still watch your videos as you can see and miss NYC so much!
Amazing!
just wanted to tell you you wasted your time visiting nyc based off this transplants recommendatations
@@darealemveepeeI’m ngl as a bk native this guy gives good recommendations for restaurants but he’s even better for tourists bc his videos feed into what tourists want to visualize the city as before coming, and the vids make tourists feel like they’re more in the loop when us natives know where to really go
Also Only evil people are gonna tell tourists to go to E NY or tremont ave for fun 😂 even the nice parts of other boroughs people don’t care enough to go to
Nothing better than getting a BEC from the local bodega or deli, and watch it being cooked in front of you. 😊😋
They all looked good but that 1st one looked the best to me. Yum 😋
Fun fact. Company producing Arizona Iced tea started in Brooklyn in 1971 and started making teas after Snapple in 1992. And 92 when got to US and was drinking lot of Arizona in 90s :)
The default standard for a New York breakfast. You can get it practically anywhere, and it's hard to mess up unless the roll is stale. Pair this with the classic Arizona iced tea, and that's your classic NYC breakfast. 💯
So blessed to eat 3 BECs in one day, no wonder New Yorkers are obsessed with it 🎉🎉
Thanks for joining me my friends!!
Where obsessed Cause it's cheap good eats
Hey thanks for covering East Way! Live 1/2 a block away and can assure that their sandwiches are ALWAYS this big and delicious, plus the entire staff are some of the nicest people around. All praise to East Way!
I love when i moved back, i got a bacon egga n' cheese as a first. Part of my childhood and just a memory bomb.
Personally, just light black pepper is fine for me since the ketchup can make it too soggy, especially if they make it with some good butter on the roll
$17 for a BEC is wild. Only ocky way can justify that price because you pay for the entertainment value as well and general ock is a celebrity at this point so it’s well worth it.
I normally don't pay no more than $6 with a small coffee in NYC for a BEC.
I don't need a pop tart in my egg sandwich
You could try to replicate that specialty sandwich at home but it may not work if you don’t know the ingredients and method . Hence I would pay for it
Hey Jon! I love when you have Ming and Ben on with you. Bacon, egg, and cheese on a sesame bagel is my favorite, too. I don't use ketchup but if they accidentally added it, I would eat it. My local bagel shop here on Long Island (Avenue Bagel) is a small spot that does everything right. Occasionally, I add home fries to the mix. That's a sandwich that will hold you for hours.
It's sad to see so many diners disappearing. A good diner is more than food, it's part of your social life. I love the idea of fusion...Asian or other ethnicities putting their take on classics and new will pump new life into the experience.
John thanks for making this video, with so much turmoil In the world lately It's nice to escape from this even If it's only for a few minutes! Shout out to Ming & Ben !
Glad you enjoyed it
Yes! This is the way 😀 To start a day. Ty 4 showcasing an important meal of the day with your friends. Much enjoyed - C U on the next 1✅
B-E-C-S-P-K, and yes if it’s on a roll. It isn’t quite the same if it’s on a bagel.
Exactly, it's just two words. "Baconeggandcheese, saltpepperketchup
Great video idea! I got out of the R rain and looked across the platform at the open train and saw you!!! In a suit formal outfit. I couldn't believe it!! And another day once I saw Adriana by my preschool where I work!!! I said hi, she was super nice! God bless you both in everything you do!
Very cool! Yes, i went to my brothers movie premiere.
All those bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches look so delicious!
Currently visiting NY and had the bacon egg and cheese from Lafayette this morning…. BEST bacon egg and cheese sandwich I’ve had in my life!!!
great video as always dude
Nice places and lights
a classic NYC BEC is def something I wanna try. We've got a version in Toronto using peameal (Canadian back bacon) on a Kaiser roll and it's sometimes considered the city's unofficial signature food alongside Caribbean patties
Wow I didn’t know that about Toronto
A BEC isn’t that difficult to replicate at home. The charm of a BEC is physically walking in a busy crowded city environment and getting it. Especially if you’re working or a college student in NYU because it’s like a mini oasis during a stressful week
Was in New York a few weeks ago and tried these bagels, absolutely insane. We really need to learn from you guys in the UK
Living in New York my whole life, I never really thought about bacon egg and cheese being a local thing. I guess I shouldn't take that and the best pizza and bagels for granted. SPK all day, by the way, you can't have it any other way.
Same here. When I started traveling outside of NYC I was shocked that BEC were not a thing for breakfast.
There is a nice charm of walking into a place and getting a bite. Outside of NYC, in most places in America, most Americans have to get in a car and drive to a generic chain food place for an experience that lacks charm
@@richardkim9952I don’t relate to that. I’m not from NY and have lived all over the USA and every single place I’ve lived a Bacon Egg and Cheese was extremely popular and able to be purchased at any bagel shop or deli
It's not really that local. Plenty of places have it outside of NYC. Every fast food joint has them
John, you crack me up mate! The comment re "would you put ketchup on a bacon egg and cheese?" and then you said "I say, yes, as long as it's on a roll"! So, if it was in Texas toast, no ketchup? Or a tortilla? lol. I love your work man
😮Texas toast wow good idea
Wow, this is my favorite deli. I love those guys sandwich is beautiful. They are the best. See you guys tomorrow morning.
Nothing like adding some nicely seasoned and cooked home fries onto the sandwich. Omggggg 😋 literally what I’m eating right now it’s my go to breakfast every morning.
This is a def yes, i always enjoy that for breakfast and regardless of bun i always put lots of pepper n ketchup on it.
The best bacon egg and cheese sandwich I've had recently is at a new place called Afternoon on Broadway and 107th street (across the street from Absolute Bagels). It's a Korean-style egg sandwich on toasted milk bread. The eggs are insane, I don't know how they get them to be so fluffy!
That last one, you did look really good with the milk bun. Never had that before. & I wouldn't mind trying that I think you said French toast or cinnamon. Something bagel that looks good to.
These sandwiches looks super juicy and delicious 😍
Yes. Sooo good.
John is the best. Like the gem of talent of internet complex personalities. He really gets it. 🌊🙏🌊👽🌊
Your videos are great, I love it.
18 years away from NY and bacon egg and cheese on a bagel is still my go to and favorite
On Sundays I always go to Leo's Bagels on Hanover Square to get my bacon egg and cheese on a cinnamon raisin bagel with salt, pepper and ketchup. So good!
your videos are rad, being from Brazil and being able to be in touch with N.Y.C food and whatnots is just perfect. I´ve been wathcing your videos for a while and I don´t usually post any comments, yet I would say that you really know what you do, keep doing your things, we learn so much from your videos and you´re a pro bro!
Glad you like them!
Ketchup is a must have with a bacon egg and cheese, I also add black pepper and sometimes hot sauce
Love this video, look that type of comfort food.
I have to check out your friends, UA-cam channel. I grew up in New York and now I’m in Florida and I miss it so much.
I went to Tompkins back when I visited in May and it was one of the best bacon egg and cheese I’ve ever had. I’ll be back this Halloween to try the other places. Saludos from Chicago Jon!!!
Fantastic Jon….my fave would be the first one, I like the soft milk bun. They all looked scrumptious though and I’d be guilty of eating one of those tasty morsels on the way to work. I’m a ketchup on the bun as well…❤❤❤
Hash browns on burgers or sandwiches are soooo underrated. You can throw a hash brown on a Big Mac and it instantly takes it to another level.
54 years ago, I would be walking to school and stop by a little corner grocery store/deli called Fishies. Run by a wonderful couple. I would give them a quarter and they would give me a kaiser roll with the other liverwurst a bologna on it. That’s what I would take to school for lunch. It was heaven. I’m so jealous because we cannot get Kaiser rolls down here in the deep south.
Does anyone else put spicy salsa on their breakfast sandwich?
It actually works for a Texas style thing if done right
Always, if it doesn’t make me cry, it’s not right.
Salsa yes though not too spicy
Hear me out…wasabi.
I add ghost or scorpion sauce on mine, sometimes sriracha
I’m from New Jersey my go to breakfast. There’s a bacon egg and cheese with potatoes on it. EVERY MORNING! you have to add that nicely cooked home fries on there for a beautiful texture. So filling. Makes me happy to start my day w it n some chocolate milk. Play some drums n ready to go. lol
Bacon egg and cheese sandwiches are the best! It’s my go-to breakfast! 🥓🍳🧀
Great video
On your way to 500K! Thumbs up!
The best I had was from Amsterdam Cafe in the Upper West Side. Bacon egg n cheese salt pepper ketchup came on a poppy seed roll in foil. Hot chocolate in the winter, Tropicana orange juice or Snapple orangeade in the summer.
I had a BECA bagel last time i was in New York. Even better!
I just got back from a 4 day trip to NYC for my first time and I loved it. I went to John's of Bleeker Pizzeria as well as Bleecker Street pizza, Sarge's Deli, Top of the Rock, took a cruise on the NYC Ferry for $4, visited DUMBO, ate at a late night halal cart, and saw Lion King on broadway. I also did some things on my own like eat at Buvette and Vinegar Hill House. Thanks so much for your videos. The next time I'm in New York I'll definitely be checking out jackson heights, harlem, flushing, queens, and way more based on your videos.
New York is actually a fun city. For whatever reason you get people posting that the city is terrible and they can’t wait to go home when nothing bad happens to them
This is a big controversy amongst my family and friends…I’m of the opinion that you can put whatever you like on your BEC but some say anything else besides butter is blasphemous. I get bored having it the same way all the time…some times I like ketchup, sometimes mayo…however you like it that’s what it is. 80% of the time I’m getting a BEC toasted, pepper, butter! 🤤 please don’t burn my eggs though! A good BEC in the morning makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside, pure NY comfort food!
Butter??? Salt, pepper, ketchup is standard. Anything outside of that is non-traditional.
Yooooo. Butter?
Imma tell you the real game changer, sriracha or tapatio..
*Fun Fact... here in Canada, Arizona Ice tea as shown here for 99c, is actually close to 2dollars cad in Canada.
New Yorker here, on a bacon or sausage egg and cheese I always get SPK.... SALT, PEPPER, KETCHUP!!
Ketchup is needed on the sandwich. I love having one on a bagel from a bagel shop and roll from bodega
Had my first bacon egg and cheese from a bodega Harlem 125 and Lexington.
Another good spot for the BEC is Best Bagel & Coffee. Even with it's touristy location, it's outstanding though yes the bagels are better at Tompkins (I generally get it on a roll at Best.)
Did you know you can buy the hash brown patties frozen at the supermarket and fry them yourself? They are so good!
So fun fact I went to Washington Iriving HS which is up the block from that deli…. Back in the day we couldn’t bring our phones to school, so the deli guys would charge us 1$ if you bought breakfast and maybe 2 or 3 if you didn’t to hold our phones until the end of the day…. Love you guys
NEW YORK is my best city In USA so I'm gonna stick with your videos bro❤❤
Corner store food is so good frfr 😁🔥
Well done video my friend
I left ny in 86 and have been going home almost yearly and I always return to sacramento with a suitcase full of Italian bread
I always put ketchup on my eggs. No matter how they are cooked I can’t eat them unless they have ketchup on the eggs. Delicious 😋
I'm going back just for the bagels 🥯 Liberty Bagels Midtown hands down was my favorite spot . I might even go as far as saying the best thing I ate overall in NYC . Living in California Bay Area nothing comes close .
Yes with ketchup 😀 but needs to be on the kaiser
So good 👍
Salt & pepper is a must
saltpepperketchup (one word) is the only way to do it. Imo needs to be on a bagel, but kaiser sometimes hits the spot if you want something lighter.
Ketchup salt and pepper yum!
Ketchup YES no matter what it’s on!!
Bacon egg n' cheese on a roll..plus ketchup mayo and pepper...can't go wrong! 😉
When I want to fill up for the morning I’ll get that with an everything bagel from the local shop.
Now that you’ve done NYC. Come across the river to NJ and have the staple Taylor Ham/Pork Roll Egg and Cheese. Gotta do it right.
That’s such a good idea
Bacon egg and cheese. Deli guy always ask saltpepperketchup one word, always a yes.
No cheese for me because lactose, and I’m not about that ketchup life on eggs. But egg and bacon sandwich on a bagel at my local deli still good!
I just said the same thing. It has to be said as one word.
As a New Yorker I agree with Ben that BEC is better on a roll than Bagel and when Ben pulled out the green tea Arizona. He’s official !!
Look yummy 😋
Watching this in the morning, in bed, hungry… 😢😢😅😅
I lived up state for 10 years, moved back to NC and I kinda miss eating BEC on a kaiser roll. everything here is on a biscuit. don't get me wrong a good biscuit like bojangles is amazing but a BEC on kaiser roll just hits different.
you definitely try Hot Bagels Deli in Queens! Best Breakfest in NY in my opinion, very kind owners and super cheap.
I do not eat bavin but enjoyed. Miss Ben
Spk on a bec is essiential and does anyone else have to add sausage? I love mine with that included
I will make sure to get a New York bagel next time I'm in town Jon !
I make my own heroes, sandwiches and all that but they were so goood in breakfast when I was lived in New York pal.
I'm a vegetarian but would gladly love to try the Potato Egg and Cheese Variant.
I’m definitely more of a bodega breakfast sandwich guy. I’m old school New York!
Saltpepperketchup, hell yes!
I need a trip to NY focused on just eating 😋😋
Us New Yorkers are blessed with the best food in the wold. The goat baconeggandcheese really is the best.
This is what I miss about N.Y.
TAYLOR HAM EGG AND CHEESE NJ FTW TRY IT
Bacon, egg and cheese on a roll with a regular coffee. NYC breakfast on the go.
I do ketchup and mayo on my breakfast sandwich. I do put hot salsa and mayo on it also if in not in the mood for ketchup. Try mayo if you haven't
Yes pls,ketcup in a toasted roll
its taylor ham, egg and cheese with salt, pepper and ketchup in NJ
Ketchup? That’s a personal choice. Hot sauce? Right on!
If there’s 2 breakfast food that us NYers do right, and dare I say it…..better than any place in America, it’s the baconeggandcheese and the bagel with cream cheese. Now I personally hate all condiments unless it’s soy sauce, lemon pepper sauce, and garlic Parmesan sauce (I’m a picky eater) with a baconeggandcheese I get mine with more eggs (egg whites, because I don’t like egg yolks), salt&pepper, and then some everything but the bagel seasoning. For a bagel with cream cheese, it’s gotta be evenly spread out and I usually get an everything bagel.
i was making this exact sandwich including catchup and mayonnaise and everyone thought I was crazy for putting eggs in sandwich
I used to get them from a little hole in the wall. The guy would say, "Ok, bacona egg onna roll with a slice. Saltpepperketchup?" They were my mainstay breakfast.
As a former NYer, I would argue BE&C on a roll and BE&C on a bagel are two completely different things. The bagel is too much, just get a schmear to bring out the true flavor of the bagel. The kaiser roll version is legit and yes, the guy gave you too much, it should be thin. Excellent work getting an MTA employee to keep it real. Thank you for your service Ben. As for French toast, sesame scallion or whatever bullshit bread so called artisans dream up should disqualify them for a true BE&C. Also, I almost closed out the video when you ordered this integral piece of the NYC culinary puzzle with fucking ketchup. Thanks for this trip down memory lane.
Absolutely need SPK!
Your dad has a master degree in coffee ☕️ and bacon 🥓 , eggs 🥚 and cheese 🧀 😋 👌 plus 30th years of experience
BEC SPK, but the eggs need to be over medium so you get just a bit of runny yolk
