Murray’s Melts – A First Look

The humble bacon, egg and cheese sandwich may never be the same.

Can you ever go back to a deli sandwich with a too-big roll, meager egg, and supermarket quality bacon and cheese after one of Murray’s breakfast sandwiches? The answer is unclear, because Murray’s combination of farm egg, fontina cheese, gourmet bacon on a thin English muffin that perfectly frames the ingredients within is pretty redonk, even for someone who thinks they’ve sampled the best bacon, egg and cheese in the land.

It’s hard to avoid the siren call of the rest of the cheese melts, prepared on a simple panini press right there in the Bleecker Street shop. But an untapped market for gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches has met its match in Murray’s Melts.

Now if only there were an entire Murray’s lunch counter dedicated to the project, complete with those Van Leeuwen milkshakes….

A girl can dream?
