Behold ‘The Doug’ breakfast sandwich, which is only available at the Thurlow St. location of 49th Parallel Coffee. It sees a spongy, golden brown brioche bun holding chive-enhanced soft-scrambled eggs, good maple bacon and caramelized onions under a blanket of processed American cheese and a generous top spread of garlic aioli — all tightly assembled like a Mozart piano concerto. I’m 99% certain the immaculate construction was inspired by the beloved “Fairfax” sando made famous by the popular Eggslut chainlet in California, which is to say it starts and ends delicious. A whole restaurant could be built around this thing, which can be enjoyed for just $9.
Looks nice!
I’ve been dreaming about “Doug” ever since I tried the first one!
Too bad its only at their one location.
