Bacon and Egg Chronicles: Gourmet Deli
• By Tuan Nguyen
My quest for the best workday morning breakkie bacon and egg toastie has taken me all over Darwin City. Well not quite all over but a fair few places. Shortly after moving into our new office mid last year, my mission came to a successful end when I tried the offering from the Gourmet Deli on Knuckey Street. This place differentiates itself from the rest by offering quality ingredients in all their dishes which has resulted in quite the following judging by the morning and lunch crowds. This mighty beast you see pictured features crunchy yet somehow soft Helgas toasted bread (Helgas being the BMW equivalent of the bread world), eggs cooked just how I like it, a few rashers of bacon and BBQ sauce. I believe what makes this better than the rest is the bread in conjunction with a generous and not so healthy coating of delicious butter. Taste comes at a price to your health I suppose, which is why I will only get it once in a blue moon. Highly recommended for a taste bud treat, but not so good for your cholesterol levels I bet.
