Tell me why! Why?
I don't know. I'm just trying I'm just trying to make something out of nothing here. But truth be told,
I don't even know where I was going with that. I guess that's what I was trying to do though. Truth be told though
I haven't done a lot of reviews for breakfast items, breakfast sandwiches, breakfast foods ...
And I guess that's because I'm just not a big not a big breakfast consumer. I'm not a big breakfast
aficionado - not that I have anything against breakfast. Not that I I
detest
the breakfast or any of that. If you want to eat breakfast food, you know,
24/7? That's fine by me and like I know some people have this irrational hatred
toward people who like eat breakfast food for dinner. It's like, you know, I hate these people right? So fine, whatever you want to eat.
But this is a breakfast sandwich that really I'll tell you the truth right now. It's my favorite. It's my favorite breakfast sandwich.
I'm a huge fan of it.
And that's why I wanted to make this video because it's again
It's something that I don't really talk about that much that I don't eat all that much,
but this is one of those things that I just ...

Okay on to the sandwich itself.
With the world's most
anticipating buildup winding to a close now, you know,
and that's also why I wanted to give that little promotion there cause, all of a sudden, the anticipation is through the roof!
Don't tease me like this Reviewbrah!! What's the sandwich? Let's see the sandwich ...
Alright, here's the big reveal!
I don't know why I'm doing this. Here's the big reveal!
My favorite breakfast sandwich is the Starbucks double smoked bacon cheddar and egg sandwich!
That's right. It's from Starbucks. I have to give them credit and there was a time
when Starbucks ... I was not a fan of their food, you know, I've always been a fan of their coffee.
Always liked their drinks.
But I mean you go back to 2015. I was saying that their food was was awful.
That their food was terrible that the quality was just ...
deplorable, but it was like, you know something you'd feed to your dog or something.
But they've really really really
picked up the quality over the last few years and it's has gotten a lot better.
And now I'm probably again my favorite breakfast sandwiches, uh is one of theirs from the Starbucks. Sometimes I'll go know
get a coffee of the iced variety.
And one of their breakfast sandwiches as well.
Yeah, the double smoked bacon
cheddar and egg sandwich. It's pretty much exactly what they said is is on it. Comes when a croissant which is really nice, too.
Has egg has bacon and then the cheddar cheese? It's a good
breakfast sandwich.
There it is!
Right here. See there's the there's the croissant that it comes on. There ... Let's zoom in for that ultra high res.
Right? There's the egg and there's the bacon,
Right there!
And then
lifting up the top croissant
see there's some of the bacon and there's the cheddar right there too.
It's just a good breakfast sandwich though. I like it. It's just an all-around. I don't know
I always consider it a complete sandwich - best way to put it - because it's one of these things where.
It's not necessarily
loaded with a dozen different ingredients and sauces and seasonings, etc.
it's got a couple ingredients, but they do a really good job with it and
let's give it a try. I'll tell you why it's my favorite. It's the double smoked bacon cheddar and egg sandwich from Starbucks going in!
I'll take one more bite for you.
Gone with the silent consumption sequence today.
Venti iced vanilla latte - what I'm going with as the beverage accompaniment.
Here's why I like it so much:
For me, what really does it with this sandwich is that it's a combination of the various factors.
Sometimes you get an item where it's like, okay ...
Now, you know, maybe the planets just aligned in the right way
and this one ingredient is what makes it, right? Sometimes you get that.
It's the sauce that does it.
Maybe the beef that they were using is higher quality or the seasoning that they put on it - the way certain things blend together.
One... one ingredient that saves it from just disaster.
This isn't one of those things.
Every single ingredient on
this sandwich in my opinion is excellent and
It works out just right. I mean, let's start from the top, right?
Let's start with the croissant here. I've always liked their croissants number one and I like them because they're buttery
they're light and they're
just very flavorful. I mean I'll just eat the regular croissants as is I just like that nice buttery, you know
just how light and buttery it is really - it's the best way to describe it.
So to have that exact flavor number one as the bun and
it provides good structural integrity as well. I like that just to begin with.
The egg itself
Is perfectly cooked in my opinion. I mean, it's flavorful.
And again, it's also light it's not like it's it's overwhelming. It has this nice little fluffiness to it.
Very flavorful, too. But again, it's not like it's overbearing.
It's not like it's just too much right? They get the ... they get the portion size is all right here.
The cheddar cheese blends together good too helps tie everything together.
But the biggest thing that I think they've really nailed with this one is the bacon.
One thing that I've been noticing more and more I go to fast-food places I go to various
establishments. I always like getting bacon with my with my sandwich with my burger. Whatever it is. I was like getting some bacon.
And one
disappointing trend that I've been noticing more and more lately is that
you have these places that just keep screwing it up. They keep they keep cutting back. They keep messing it up.
They take the bacon and
you just start getting less and less
and less
And what used to be three strips is now two strips of bacon and now instead of two strips you're getting one strip and
now sometimes you get even a place I will just take one strip of break and
Break it and have to make you think you're getting more.
And they just keep cutting back more and more and just gets thinner and thinner and it's just like it's it's really going downhill!
That's what I notice.
So to see the bacon that they give you these these juicy slabs of bacon.
That are just really flavorful and you get a lot of it you get bacon and every single bite.
It's there. It's prominent. It's pronounced probably one of the most flavorful things with this sandwich. I'm a huge fan of that.
Because it's also defying what you see so much of
in this day and age with fast food
where they just cut back more and more and more and
it's like is it ever gonna end or are they just going to eventually take it away for good because it seems like,
you know, it just doesn't get any better, but then something comes along that changes all that you get ... "Wow!"
They actually, number one, give you a good portion size.
They give you a good amount, but it's high quality too, and you can't beat that!
So that's why I'm a big fan of it. Everything just blends together perfectly on it
And again, you know, this isn't something that I eat every day.
But when I go to Starbucks if there's a food item that I'm gonna get from there. This is what it is every single time.
Because it's done me good - it always has - and I'm just consistently impressed with all the quality of the ingredients.
How it all blends together and the price for it is five bucks. You can't beat that.
A really tasty sandwich for five bucks. Sometimes you pay six seven bucks for a sandwich. It's not even anywhere near as good.
So I just think it's the best breakfast sandwich I've had to be quite honest. I'ts just ...
The quality of it just continues to impress. That's the best way to put it.
So, I mean therefore out of 10?
Like I've said I'm a big fan of it.
I always have been so I think rightfully I'd give it an 8.8 out of 10.
I just like the quality of the ingredients.
It all blends together good and it's just... I think they really did a good job with it.
I think they got everything right on it. So I'm just a big fan of it.
And with that that's all that I have for you ladies and gentlemen.
I just wanted to make a little bit of a kind of a review/talk
about my favorite breakfast sandwich and why and why it's the double smoked bacon cheddar and egg sandwich from Starbucks.
Usually I just call it the Starbucks
Sandwich, so I kind of forget the name.
But that's why it's my favorite just a big fan of it. That's all that I have for you.
But thank you for watching and do take care. I'm your host TheReportOfTheWeek.
