For some reason this summer I have been really into breakfast sandwiches, and I thought I would share some of those sandwiches over the next few weeks that I consider the best in Portland. Here’s my first Best in PDX breakfast sandwich highlight.
This is one of the most frequent breakfast sandwiches I crave is from Portland Penny Diner downtown. This sandwich stands out because of the unique trait of being on a fresh Parker House Roll. They have three versions of this sandwich at breakfast (served until 7 – 11 AM) that includes a mortadella version with egg, sauerkraut, and coffee mayo (PDXWT, which I’ve shared before), a meatless Hipster one with tomato, hazelnut romesco, and egg, or this one…
The New Yorker on a fresh Parker House roll with house sausage, bacon, egg, cheese. This one is available at breakfast and also on their mid-day menu unlike the other two breakfast sandwiches.
You can eat this sandwich here in this modern diner or get it to go. Every time I’ve had one of these damn things I always eat it in like 5 minutes because I just can’t stop, they are always so good. I love all three versions of the 3 Parker House roll breakfast sandwiches, but I most often get the New Yorker because of the longer availability during the day.
I’m still waiting for them to come to their senses and also offer a Parker House roll sandwich in the evening because I would totally grab one to go and take it down to Bailey’s Taproom if it was available. Hell, if I could even just get a try of these rolls, I’d do it… Instead, I pop over to Imperial which has the Parker House rolls on their regular menu for $1 a piece and get one at the bar, as I’ve already shared here as Imperial is one of my favorite bite and a drink highlights in Portland.
What are your thoughts on Parker House roll breakfast sandwiches? Have you had one of these from Portland Penny Diner before? Where is your favorite PDX breakfast sandwich from?
