"We'd go to our local deli - 24-hour late night situation - and get a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich, maybe after a couple of cocktails ..." Flay recalls fond memories of enjoying the classic breakfast sandwich, emphasizing its connection to his New York upbringing.
"The bacon, egg, and cheese - often abbreviated to 'BEC' - is something of a New York City icon, popularized through its relatively low-cost and grab-and-go nature." Flay underscores the cultural significance of the 'BEC', illustrating its popularity in NYC.
"Flay relies on both harissa and brioche - and makes sure to cook his eggs in bacon fat." This highlights Flay's culinary expertise in elevating a simple sandwich into a flavorful meal.
"Rather than toast the bread as-is, he shells out the soft interior. This process improves the ratio of bread to filling..." Flay shares his expert technique for perfecting the balance of flavors.
