I had seen a few "influencers" who do not live in Chicago raving about this "restaurant" and I just…read morelaughed. I had not been there to sample the food but definitely would not refer to Egg Tuck as fine dining. That said, they do make one hell of a breakfast sandwich!
The Queen is a frequent patron of this fine establish and since we were home, she asked if she could get me breakfast. I decided on the Royal West (Signature Patty, Over Medium Egg, Cheddar Cheese, Grilled Onions, Pickles, Fresh Chives, Brioche Bread). The sandwich also comes with Sriracha Aioli and their Egg Sauce (House Mayo), but I opted not to get that on my sandwich, but I did get smoked bacon and avocado added to it. The Queen got the same thing but the spicy version with everything on it. I also got some tater tots as I thought those would hold up on delivery better than the fries.
The sandwich itself is impressive to behold, golden in color and quite fresh looking, if fresh itself could be described as a visual concept. What impressed me the most was the bread itself, before I had even tasted it. The bread sort of presents as a file folder, conceptually, that you can stuff food into. The slice of bread was very thick and even after splitting it to allow food to be placed in the middle, each slice was still thick. While it was toasted to that lovely color, biting into it had some give, but it was not hard to bite into. I was impressed at how well the bread functioned in holding all of the ingredients together. I thought it would be a messy ordeal, but I was able to hold the sandwich and eat it.
I know the bread is described as brioche, but upon my first bite I thought it was a milk bread as there was a slightly sweet flavor to it. The Queen said it could also be the meat patty as that was some sort of Korean patty that sometimes has a sweet taste to it as well. I would have to agree with Yelper Mahika A's description of this being a fluffy egg sandwich, it truly was. Everything was soft!
The tater tots were okay, just your standard tots, but I love potatoes in general and definitely with breakfast, so that is why I got them. I am happy that they deliver as I would definitely order food from them again. The delivery was on point as the food was still warm when it got to us, so I would definitely order from them again. And being able to eat at home, I was able to have some champagne to wash the sandwich down with to make sure I was cutting some of the cholesterol to my arteries as this is not a health friendly meal, but that is why it tastes so good!
