Today we are reviewing the bacon egg and cheese from duck donuts. As one of the elite breakfast sandwiches the bacon egg and cheese holds a special place in my heart and stomach so I was curious to try this variant of the classic dish. After ordering, I passed the longer than average wait by watching the automatic donut fryer press out and fry regular donuts which were then deposited on a sheet to cool. After finally obtaining my sandwich I opened the box.
Upon opening the box I was greeted with neatly assembled bacon strips, egg patty, and slice of cheese on a classic duck donut. The presentation felt strangely calming as if the perceived softness of the donut bun can serve as a pillow to rest a troubled mind. Otherwise, the presentation was quite bare and the flaps of American cheese leave much to be desired. For presentation this achieves a 7.
The softness of the bun is realized upon the first bite. Teeth glide through cheese, cut the bacon with a quiet crisp, slice cleanly through the egg patty, and a chunk of this soft sandwich is separated into your mouth. After a few chews you realize that despite neatly chewing through the majority of the sandwich, the American cheese has stuck to the roof of your mouth. For texture this achieves a 9.
During the bite, the smell of the donut wafts into your nose along with hints of bacon and cheese. It is truly a pleasant smell that is capable of both waking and relaxing a tired soul. For aroma this achieves a 10.
The taste of this sandwich combines the sweet donut with the salty bacon, adding a complex element in the form of the egg patty, and smoothing it out again with the cheese. It is one of the best tasting bacon egg and cheeses I have had, but it feels as though it is missing something. For taste this achieves a 9.
This item was $5. Cheap for a breakfast sandwich with a "premium" ingredient. I expect to pay $4-$5 for a standard bacon egg and cheese so in comparison this is a good deal. However, the sandwich was not as filling as the average standard variant. For cost this achieves an 8.
The sugar filled donut is attached to a sandwich of already dubious nutritional quality. I would feel extremely unwell if I ate more than two of these in one sitting. For nutrition this achieves a 2.
