Egg, Bacon and Harissa Sandwich 112 Eatery 112 N 3rd St. Minneapolis, Minnesota 55401 Fresh off the plane and straight to 112. Now, we’re certainly not here to talk about mixed greens, but we have to give it up for the foie gras and lardon salad real quick. Not only is it seared foie gras and chopped bacon on the same plate, but it also comes with a pouched egg. One thing to compare to is the crispy, decadent, silky-rich, buttery fat on a really good steak. Yup.  On paper, the egg, bacon and harissa sandwich seemed like a leap in the opposite direction of the salad, but as an authority on egg sandwiches, I had to try it.  Glad I did.  The heat from the harissa is in the same vein as the Sriracha I douse on all my egg sandwiches, but the garlic, coriander and cumin stepped it up. Nicely spread on both pieces of toast topped with a perfectly fried egg—that oozed liquid gold all over the plate—two thick and crispy pieces of bacon, and leaf parsley. It was comfortingly familiar, yet markedly different. We’ll be alternating harissa and Sriracha from now on.  Details: •    white toast•    harissa spread•    fried egg•    2 pieces of bacon•    whole leaf parsley

Bennison’s Bakery Evanston, IllinoisToulouse I never eat breakfast.  Never been to Paris.  After this morning, I suddenly want to do both.  My hermano and co-worker Jesus, delivers once again.  Not only did he not have to come to work on a Friday, but he also didn’t have to bring breakfast sandwiches from, what’s turning out to be, my new go-to work spot.  Bennison’s mutha$&%^@*! Bakery.  If you’ll recall in my previous post, Buffalo Joe’s makes an unbeatable Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, served on a heavenly bun courtsey of Bennison’s mutha$&%^@*! Bakery.  Known for their wide assortment of sweets, freshly baked artisan breads, cakes, cookies and other bomb delights, the award-winning Bennison’s Bakery also serves a handful of Parisienne sandwiches. The Toulouse (only available on Friday’s and Saturday’s) murders any McDonald’s breakfast sandwich—even the McGriddle.  Yeah, I said it.  The croissant is warm, buttery and flaky; the eggs fresh, fluffy and well seasoned; the bechamel outstandingly rich and creamy.  The ham was good, not to salty, but the bacon is forgettable and initially undetectable.  If they can fix the bacon part, I would drive to get 2 of these every morning/afternoon after a night of tossing a few back.  Did I mention they put the bechamel inside AND out.  Be advised that Bennison’s keeps to the bakery standard and does not have any seating. They do have a couple of table tops that you can stand at.  My recommendation would be to take it to-go and enjoy it over at Fountain Square in beautiful Downtown Evanston.  Be sure to say what’s up to “Easy Rider.”  You’ll know him when you see him.  Details: croissant scrambled eggs bacon ham bechamel sauce Note: Names have been changed to help preserve anonymity.
