Nothing quite rivals the perfect breakfast sandwich. It’s a marvel to sustain you on your commute to work if you can remember such a time or, more likely these days, something to enjoy for a few quiet moments on a park bench outside. It requires no silverware, no table, no fuss. It is, by this login, the perfect takeout food.
As restaurants had set on the pandemic to-go path, many took the time to reflect on the ease and travel-readiness of their menus. Places like Whisk Crepes Café, known for delicious and delicate crepes, introduced breakfast sandwiches on its menus for a more grab-and-go-friendly option. Now, Dallas is brimming with eggy-cheesy-bacon-y breakfast sandwiches in all forms: biscuits, toasts, and arepas. Check out this list
