Heading to Myrtle Beach? Here’s where to find NY-style bacon, egg & cheese
Summer season is underway across the Grand Strand.
With many visitors coming to the area, especially from New York and New Jersey, some look for a taste of home when they’re on vacation.
A bacon, egg and cheese, or BEC as many New Yorkers call it, is a quintessential bodega sandwich. Often served on a bagel or a Kaiser roll with melted orange American cheese, soft eggs and crispy bacon, it can be served with hot sauce, ketchup or some combination of both.
In Myrtle Beach, some folks who moved from the New York and New Jersey region are opening up delis of their own to serve sandwiches that remind people of home.
Here’s a roundup of some delis in the Myrtle Beach region that serve bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches:
