Scott Drewno and Danny Lee’s daily-breakfast destination on Barracks Row specializes in deliciously indulgent dishes like a drippy bacon-egg-and-fontina sandwich served on griddled milk bread.

Danny Lee and Scott Drewno of the Fried Rice Collective (tfrc.com), Anju (anjurestaurant.com), Mandu (mandudc.com), Chiko (mychiko.com) and I Egg You (ieggyoudc.com). Also, Micheal Rafidi of Albi (albidc.com) and Yellow (yellowthecafe.com). I also love the work of Zach Ramos and Amy Phan of Ama Ami (amaami.com) and soon-to-open Two Nine Omakase (omakase29.com)

Our blue ribbon for best pandemic pop-up goes to this egg-sandwich operation from Chiko and Anju owners Danny Lee and Scott Drewno. Finally, it has a space of its own on Barracks Row, which opens daily at 8 AM. Besides its beloved breakfast sandwiches, there is a selection of toasts, a riff on toad in the hole with caviar, Dalgona coffee, and a whole slew of brunch-y cocktails. Nice touch: there’s Pedialyte, several bartenders’ hangover cure of choice, on the menu.
