Around the World 12 - Bacon, Egg & Cheese - I Didn't Look Forward to This

I am going Around the World on the Primantis menu, eating every sandwich, in order.

I had the Bacon & Cheese just two sandwiches ago, and it quickly sank to the bottom of the list. It was cheap bacon, and the quantity of it didn't help. It has a metallic aftertaste that just wasn't good. You get better bacon at Wendy's.

Adding egg is a bandaid on a bullet wound.

It's under there...lurking.

Earlier, back when reviewing the oft-maligned Egg & Cheese, I said that this would be the good breakfast sammich at Primantis. I take that back.

First off, it's the same price as the Bacon & Cheese. Egg is $.50 more. So they had to take off $.50 worth of bacon to maintain that price. Usually, less bacon would be bad - it certainly had less crunch, but here, it wasn't much of a loss.

Darn tomato falling everywhere...

The bad bacon, again, this is a really cheap sub-fast-food bacon that does alright when it's crumbled over nacho cheese on fries. It does not do well on its own. Egg is not enough to stop that.

Bacon, egg, and cheese can only be so bad. I finished the thing, it's not abhorrent. It's better than just bacon. But I don't see the point of this here, especially when you can get a Bacon sandwich and add an egg. 

Think of the ideal breakfast sandwich. Eggs have to be involved, bacon or sausage should be there, a potato product - hashbrowns and homefries are breakfast foods, why not french fries? ...but would you put coleslaw on there? I wouldn't. The crunch is already there from the bacon. It doesn't improve anything, and it usually does. I love the coleslaw the most. But it's a third wheel here. 

Unless it's ridiculously early, don't bother with this one. I wonder if it's much better at the Smallman Street location...I can imagine that a Strip District establishment couldn't get away with using cheap bacon. I might have to try that and revisit this one. Until then, don't bother.

Taste: 1 The egg and less bad bacon deserves one notch up

Satisfaction: 1 The crunch isn't there, but the eggs are heartier

Flavor: 1 Egg is always good. This bacon is not, sadly.

Enjoyable: 1 The only sandwich that might be made worse with coleslaw

Pittsburghness: 1 Bacon, Egg, & Cheese can be found anywhere. If coleslaw is worse for a sandwich, that's anti-Pittsburgh

Should I Get This Sandwich? No. If you're really hard up for a breakfast sandwich, maybe.
