How New Yorkers Start Their Day

- Today we're making the New York classic bacon egg and cheese sandwich. Or just simply BEC-SPK. The first job I ever had was working at a deli and I loved working the grill. I've made thousands of these and all their other variations over those 3 years when I was a kid. I hope you enjoy this bacon egg and cheese sandwich video!

Hey brother, I'm almost certain those are called Kaiser rolls. And of course you want them with poppy seeds.
Man, I already said it on another video but I can’t emphasize enough how much it means to see you sharing these moments with your son. My dad used to work at his father’s deli in Queens when he was younger. Now, 45 years later, he still makes those sandwiches like he did when he was a teenager. I would eat them at the island in the kitchen just like you do with your son. To this day, those are the best sandwiches i’ve ever had. Not just because the ingredients were good and the execution was perfect, but because they were made with love.
Thank you so much - I really appreciate comments like this.
There is absolutely nothing more “Long Island” than waiting in the deli for your BEC SPK while Billy Joel sings about Brenda and Eddie in the background.
Lol.
It's "BrenDER and Eddie"
the most Nassau thing I've heard today.
That's Brender to you dude ...
LI….
best tip I know to keep eggs from sticking: dunk the spatula in cold water before trying to slide under the egg, they might've stuck but the steam releases the egg as the wet spatula slides under
Your mom's a wet spatula.

From a Polish, New Haven CT resident to you, I admire your care for something as simple as the perfect breakfast sandwich. The water splash when melting the cheese is such an unnecessary yet next level move. The tri-state area has some seriously great eats, maybe the most underrated in the country. I watched the whole Sunday series as a clinic on Italian American food, and now I'm just working through the rest of your videos. You got a fan in me, bro.
Thanks very much! Most of the criticism I receive on this channel comes from people outside this area. I take it as a great compliment when a neighbor gives these vids a thumbs up.
Man, I love your channel. Not too much talking, great camera work and plenty of options for those who may not care for quantities or ingredients (e.g. “if you don’t like this much onion...”). You seem like a good guy, as well. If I drank, I’d say I’ll buy you a beer one day. Anyway, you’re doing great. Keep up the good work and don’t get all full of yourself.
This is rapidly becoming my favorite cooking channel. I like how you explain some of the basics for people that may not have the experience.
Thanks very much!
Love watching his son taste the food. He's always so excited for the assignment
this guy seasons like all four seasons A+
If you want to take the BEC to another level, lightly toast the roll and put some cream cheese on it.
It’s awesome.
My childhood breakfast while waiting to school. Bacon,egg&cheese or sausage,egg& cheese $2.00& coffee for $1.00 don't get sweeter. Thank you for bringing these memories back friend
Thanks for sharing!
i lived in nyc for a long time, i had one of these almost everyday. now im in LA and i miss 'em like crazy. im on a constant quest to find a BEC here that compares. its the bread, they just dont have those rolls out here. its not a regular ol kaiser roll, its so unique, so ny/nj. love your channel man
New York born, Jersey raised. Every time I go back for a visit these are a must for breakfast. I personally go s/e/c. We don’t get those rolls where i live.
Btw. I use to be a chef myself, so I’m big in the food channels. Love what you do. You do everything with such care and passion. Wish you success!
Thanks very much Chef!
I would eat that for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
Thanks! Me too!
Bacon and egg goes with every meal. I enjoy at least one egg in some way, shape, or form as an accompaniment to every meal :) scrambled, boiled, fired, poached, I love them all (except funnily enough, omelettes - not a fan at all 😅)
I’m a native New Yorker … lived here all my life … bec is soooo fundamental to my day… and homemade is amaaazzziinngg… sometimes it’s better than getting it at the bodega .. thank you so much and I love your channel
Just found this video at 11 at night. I'm from Staten Island and how we say it is "lemma get baconeggandcheese onna (whatever you want) everything bagel". Then you grab some cawffee. Simple as that. Best of the best.
I’m a NYER living in Sacramento and every time I go home I bring back a suitcase full of Italian bread. I freeze them that last a good minute. I guess I better learn how to make authentic Italian bread huh ,Huh
Jim you are so right. The Kaiser roll is key. In Westchester, Cassone’s bakery in Portchester was the leading supplier. I went to high school with Don Cassone. The bad joke was always “Don needs dough”. The not funny truth, good luck finding a decent Kaiser roll in middle America
Sooooo true. Kaiser rolls are SO hard to find. 😤😤😤
Hello. This video on the egg and bacon on a roll just brought back memories of being a kid and running to the dehli across the street to get that back in 85. U know , when sandwiches were 2.25, not like today. U hand the clerk 2.25 and he says oh no this 10 bucks. Say what?. Or when a slice was 1.25. I grew up in eastmeadow and still here. Anyway, thanks for bringing that memorie back
Great video. In Jersey, we'll sub the bacon with Taylor Ham (North Jersey) or Pork Roll (South Jersey). Personally, I sub out the Kaiser Roll for a sandwich size English muffin but keep the rest as is. It all works. Keep cooking! The Sausage Egg and Cheese is the other popular combination.
Thanks for sharing and for liking the video.
You kept it neutral I appreciate that most north jersians and south jersians would be clawing at you if you picked one or the other
Taylor Ham? Pork Roll? Whatever. I don’t care what you call it. Just serve it. Prefer a real Kaiser roll but impossible to find in Florida.
No one cares about what they do in jersey
@@joejerkoff9221 I don’t give two shits what you think
Yes bacon egg and cheese with the morning coffee to start off the day, can't go wrong
Mayo instead of ketchup takes it to a whole 'nother level, my friend. It's magic.
I like your content. you get to the point yet still remain engaging. look forward to learning more about New York regional cooking.
Thanks very much!
That looks amazing. As a Londoner I have fond memories of visiting Ess-a-Bagel and getting a poppy seed bagel with egg and cheese. Walking NYC with a pipping hot bagel for breakfast was such an enjoyable thing. Love the channel 👍
That's a good place for a bagel too. Would have recommended an everything bagel though
haha "yeah alright ill take this one" the boy wasn't waiting any longer!
I am new to your channel, but I am going to work my way through some (if not all) of your recipes. I started with the butter and tomato pasta (delicious!!!). I am never excited about cooking, but now I can't wait to try the next recipe… thank you!!!
Welcome to the channel and thanks for watching!
Man I got homesick for southern CT watching this. Shocked me it wasnt a thing outside the tri-state.
Yeah once you leave the area they are nowhere to be found.
Moved from NY to FL 23 years ago. My husband still has this for breakfast every Sunday! Kaiser rolls are a must! Love it! ❤️👍🏼
loved the way you wrapped them to get the whole deli experience!!
Very good breakfast sandwiches. I know New Yorkers though who start their day with 3 donuts. 🍩 🍪 🍩 Whatever makes you happy . . . ...
Your little boy is the luckiest kid ever! So well fed!
"crystal balls" "Dey dance on da pan" Fucking love your vernacular sir.
Some excellent technique ideas in your vids, Sir. Subbed :)
Thanks very much and welcome to the channel!
Omg you don’t know how happy I am to see this! I’m from Oceanside but have lived up in Mass for the past 6 years and this is what I crave the most!
When I moved to new england from New Jersey I remember how confused people were when I'd ask for ketchup on a breakfast sandwich. I live in Boston these days, and I still prefer making these just the way you did-- a nice soft kaiser roll with BEC/SPK :) I'll admit to occasionally adding a sprinkle of garlic powder to the eggs as well.
They don't really have Pork Roll up here, either. Not the way we did in NJ.
Very straightforward video. Loved it.
That is a great looking Sandwich. I love the way you
make the eggs over easy.
Thank you ,
Jeff
Thanks so much!
Just discovered this channel this weekend, what a find. Your format is perfect, dont harp on things too long but just long enough to be concise. Love it.
Thanks very much and welcome to the channel!
I cook my bacon in the air fryer using lower heat and longer time and the results are excellent.
Man. I've literally been binging your channel. LOVE IT! Made the mushroom brandy pasta last week. It was delicious!
No. Taylor ham, egg and cheese. But either one works! NY, NY, so nice they named it twice. I love ur vids! Thank you!!!!!
Taylor ham is great! Thanks for liking the videos🙏
Yum! Thank you
Each looks really good.
Pork roll egg and cheese on a hard roll guy checking in. There was one deli in my small New Jersey town and that was my breakfast for decades as a working man. Now my sister owns a small deli. The last time I came up to New Jersey she asked me what I wanted, and I was like, really? You know what I want.
Yummy recipe! Thank you!
Nice love how you used the bacon fat again in the ham and eggs it’s really underrated. From NY and I never got the ketchup thing but a sausage egg and cheese can get right on top of a hangover.
I used to actually put mayo on the ones I'd make for myself. Then the customers would come in and mostly ask for ketchup.
@@SipandFeast Mayo??!! To each his own I guess.
the music over that shot of the eggs...divine. this is mesmerizing vid. can't wait to make it!
Yum! Looks like the way to start the day. Thanks Jim!
You got it Marty!
This man really used three different pans to cook the bacon, ham, and egg 😂
You can use the cast iron for the whole thing tbh, and the bacon fat will carry on to the ham and eggs nicely if you play your cards right. You can even use a lit to another pan or pot at the end to steam the cheese, but considering the egg was already flipped I personally find that a hot egg is enough to melt a kraft single thrown on at the end, without the steam.
I love the laid-back, non-gatekeeping approach to cooking this channel has!
I moved to Salt Lake City and have missed these every day for the last ten years. Grew up in south Philly, right across the river from Trenton. Kaiser roll makes all the difference. The fact I could walk into any bodega and get breakfast for 3.25$ then, and probably 5.50$ now, was one of the best experiences of living out there. You got to know the owners, and the individual people that made up that neighborhood. Still miss it.
Your recipes and videos are great. Thanks so much for taking the time to make them and for sharing. NYers are the best.
Thanks! Really appreciate it!
Looks sooooo tasty. Love seeing James enjoy his dads creations 🥰🥰🥰🥰
You do such a good job with the presentation I swear I could smell the eggs cooking. Keep up the good work
Thanks very much!
So right about the rolls! Miss them since moving to VA.
Great breakfast sandwich, you make it look easy and delicious
I grew up in Minnesota but my parents are from Long Island. Made trips out to East Meadow area almost every summer as a kid. We used to get our BEC’s at Figarelly’s Deli. Man I miss it!
Sequa deli in massapequa all day best egg sandwich around
I just ate and I could still take out both of those. Yes!
That is a good way to start off the day with a breakfast sandwich with either bacon ham or sausage eggs or egg whites cheeses seasonings and sauces
Move from NYC to Phoenix and this thing is non existent here. I do miss this at 6:30AM on a cold NY day waiting for the bus and trains.
Great channel, great theme music, great personality. Thanks for your hard work.
Much appreciated!
Taylor Ham, Egg & Cheese - S.P.K., Jersey Style. 😆
You're from Union County? That or Bergen.
In my hometown( Lowell, MA) they have a similar sandwich called the Boott Mill, that adds home fries and can have bacon, ham, sausage, corned beef hash or any combination of the four.
I've found a new Sunday breakfast dish to try making- looks absolutely delicious, mate!
Thanks so much!
Miss randomly popped up in my feed and now I have a new Cooking Channel in my subscriptions. Looks tasty.
'Yes' 👏 👏 👍 😊on that roll.
From Philly. Moved to Jersey around 75. Worked and lived in Manhattan in the 80s - had one of those almost every morning. Unless hung over - then it was dirty water chili dogs. Great memories and fantastic breakfast. Thanks for all your videos but this one in particular sent me all the way down memory lane.
Thanks man! I'm glad it brought you back.
Nothing better in the morning with coffee a NY must
All I know is when I went home (NC) for holiday from NJ my transplants were jazzed with the kaiser rolls i bought them!!!!!
You hit the Ock at the cart and get that beef sausage instead. Good layer of protection to handle 2 nips of baileys in your coffee's at work 🤣
I live down south now and miss hardrolls. Thank you
I grew up on BEC from stuff-A-Bagel, and Wally’s Bagels (Long Island) so I’m partial to having them on bagels, but the poppy roll is great too. You’re sandwiches look amazing! Keep up the great work!
Thanks! I used to live right near Stuff-A-Bagel.
Your son has an important job in the kitchen...that is as 'taste tester'. Lucky child! Enjoying the recipes too, thank you for sharing these delights.
This is one of the best bacon sarnies I've seen in a while 😊😊
Awesome channel man. This and a Sunday sauce is all I need 👍
Thanks so much!
Looks so good
Thank you!
I liked this because I'm from Nyc (SI) and you added the SPK . My guy.
Thanks for the small, simple skills....droplets of water to test the pan and steam the cheese...brilliant.
anytime i walk into the deli before 11am boss man in the back already knows what i want when i give him the look. the only time i deviate from the formula is when i walk into wonderbagel and sub the roll for a bagel
Simple and beautiful
It's like therapy for me... cooking up egg sandwiches. I don't often have time in the morning so it's usually a late night snack. I'm a bit more partial to a nice chewy toasted bagel, but it doesn't get any better than that for simple comfort food. Make yourself some good eats and you can even wash the dishes by the time it cools down enough to scarf up... love the channel man. My Mom's side of the family is Italian but I've always felt a bit intimidated trying a lot of the recipes, you make it approachable and give me confidence. Instant subscribe here, thanks boss.
Cooking is the best therapy. I try to really push the love of it in these videos and not get hung up on missing one ingredient or whatnot. Thanks for the kind words and for the sub!
First vid of yours I’ve ever seen- instant subscribe. 👨🏽🍳👌🏽 Nothing better than BEC SPK and it’s variations
Thanks very much and welcome to the channel!
I love that you're not a drama queen when it comes to non-stick pans :)
Most NYers do NOT get ketchup on their BEC. Most of us get hot sauce or nothing. And if you’re on Long Island, you probably get it on a bagel
I know that's Land O' Lakes Yellow American just by sight lol. Absolute perfection! Love your content!!!
Thanks very much! You have a good eye recognizing that.
😫😫😫 I just relocated a couple of years ago to the south…no bacon egg and cheese here! Thank you for your video. I started watching you and subscribed to your channel because you reminded me of home! I’m so delighted at how your channel has grown! I’ve been subscribed since the beginning and saw how you posted highly professional high quality videos consistently and now it seems it is paying off! The best of luck to you and thank you for your videos! ❤️
Thanks for being here from the beginning! Glad I can share part of home with you through these videos.
You can get it, it's just on a biscuit!! ;-)
Moved out west no B.E.C.on poppy seed rolls. I cry sometimes lol
@@BigB932 😩. Yes…gotta have it on a fresh poppy seed roll! 😋
@@BorntobeGreat1 Hell Yeah!!
He didn't say it in the video, but that salting the egg right before steaming the cheese. So good. Next level.
The pan and rack you put your cooked bacon on is what I like to cook it on in the oven at like 325 convection (watch carefully, rotate pan every 5 minutes until done). I used to use parchment, but the baking rack gives a crisper result. I learned this in food service making bacon for 150ish people. You may not need to rotate that often if your oven is evenly temped. I learned this on a gas oven with a hot back and a cold front.
Thanks for the tip!
I cook bacon in the oven too. They don’t curl up. I do a whole package of bacon at one time and just freeze the extra, just a quick reheat either in the microwave or in a pan (gives off enough fat to fry eggs). If you cook the whole package of bacon in the oven, you get a lot of the fat which you can save and use for other cooking. 😁
Looks solid. Reminds me of growing up in North Jersey.
Agreed! Kaiser rolls are the best for this sandwich hands down!
scrapple egg and cheese - ooooooohhh yeah, baby!!!
So happy I found your videos. I'm from Bayshore but I live in Missouri now. I miss the food but I do my best to bring the Island to my new friends here.
Thanks and I know it can be tough. I lived in Minnesota for 3 years and tried to share some food info too without being too much of an overbearing New Yorker lol.
I grew up in New Paltz NY
I definitely know those letters. Being in California I miss it very much.
I live in NY and always seen the yolk cracked while its cooking on the griddle and then bacon placed on the cracked yolk then cheese. The roll is a kaiser roll.🥓🥚🧀🧂🌶🐱⬆
My favorite recipe ❤❤❤
i loveee the yolk like that, please it is so tasty
You had me at Jersey!!....but like the youngun said....SCRAMBLED!!!!
When I was living in New York I used to have those for breakfast every day before work, but mine was what my friend called the “Muslim killer” I used to get a bacon, egg, cheese and sausage with salt and pepper an no ketchup on a roll. Nice cup of coffee to push it down and I was ready for a winter day hehe miss those days!
That's a good kid you got there. Very chill video and now time to hunt down a bakery near me that makes a similar bread. Going to be hard to find in California
Brought me back decades to when this was NYC
Not true anymore, but damn back in the day this was everywhere
Wow, this video takes me back to my days in NY. I remember going to Maine and asking for a ham, eggs, and cheese on a roll (HEC-SPK), and the deli guy asked, "What is a roll"? It's like I was talking to someone from another planet!
So freakin good!!!
