"It's always a glorious day when the topic is bacon. Thin, thick, or center-cut, it doesn't matter - when it's cooked well, this wonderful treat from the meat gods is something that shouldn't be taken for granted. Whether it be on its own or sprinkled atop another dish, a bite containing bacon has the potential to elevate your entire meal - or even your whole day."
"What started as a family business venture has since become a Midwestern darling. Even as the Egg Harbor Cafe continues expanding into states like Georgia and Colorado, it's in its home state of Illinois where you'll find the most locations. But whatever you happen to be when you wander through its doors, bacon lovers are in for a treat. Egg Harbor Cafe's secret to success isn't just the quality of its bacon - it's the variation as well."
Top breakfast chains prioritize bacon quality, texture, and flavor to elevate breakfast dishes and customer satisfaction. Restaurants offer varied cuts and smoke profiles to suit preferences, avoiding limp or overly greasy slices that detract from meals. Chains balance classic preparations with inventive flavors and limited-time offerings to attract diners. Egg Harbor Cafe exemplifies this approach with multiple bacon varieties, including maple bourbon, cherrywood, applewood, and a 2024 Habanero bacon, and continues expanding beyond its Illinois base into states like Georgia and Colorado. Multiple reviews praise flavor variation and experimentation as key reasons bacon stands out at these establishments.
