Hello all,
I'm back again from the land of the gator to do another food review. Obviously, I'm a fan of the classic baconeggandcheese, so I couldn't help but review one from Brooklyn Water Bagel, a chain that claims to make bagels as good as they do in Brooklyn. Their supposed secret to perfecting the bagel is water. Brooklyn gets its water from the pristine reservoirs and lakes located far upstate. The water travels down to New York City via a series of aqueducts and tunnels,, consumed by the City's residents and businesses.
Many claim that this pristine water is responsible for the superb quality of bagels and pizza available in the Big Apple. Brooklyn Water Bagel uses an ultra-purification process that purportedly transforms the poisonous, stinky, swampy Floridian water into the tasty, rejuvenating, crisp, crystal-clear water of the City That Never Sleeps. This filtration process has even earned the nickname of Brooklynizing.
I ordered a bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel which ran me $7. This is definitely one of the most expensive BECs i have ever ordered. The high cost of this sandwich and the size of it earn this a 4. The fact that a bagel shop in some run down strip mall in Florida was charging me more than the average deli in FiDi both disgusted me and made me hopeful for the quality of this sandwich.
The texture of the bagel was crispier than I am accustomed to and was almost stale. The cheese had a bit of an unpleasant stickiness to it but the rest of the sandwich had a decent unobtrusive texture so this earns a 6. The bagel lacked some of the flavor of some other BECs I have had but overall was satisfactory. It was good to a point where off of taste alone I would eat this sandwich again so this earns a 7.
The BEC had a decent aroma of a freshly made BEC but the cheese contributed too strongly to the aroma. This earns a 5 in aroma.
As a BEC, this sandwich is not very nutritious and earns a 4.
I actually quite liked the presentation of the sandwich, and it made me want to greedily consume it upon opening the wrapper, so this earned an 8 in presentation.
Overall, this is probably the best BEC around, evidenced by its higher-than-average price, but it has leagues to go before it can rival a true bacon, egg, and cheese. In total, this sandwich receives a 5.58.
