How I discovered toast and roast....a story

Once upon a time on a crowded N train that actually worked last fall my husband and I watched a man board the train on Broadway, had a seat and unbags his breakfast sandwich. As he's unwrapping it it's THE MOST beautiful bacon egg and cheese we've ever seen.

I've lived in Astoria since 1998- I've had my share of BEACSPK- this one was B-E-A-utiful.

Anyway, hubby and I debated on asking him where he got it from. Exchange went a bit like this: Me: babe look at that bacon egg and cheese Husband: that looks great M: d...do we ask him where he got it? H: no that's weird M: hear me, what if I say it's a pregnancy craving? H: not even pregnant M: Shhhhh.....none of us know that H: what?! M: do. We. Ask. Him?!

In the end we didn't ask cause we're cowards.

FAST FORWARD I was washing clothes over at the spot across from the McDonald's under the train, and I walk over to toast and roast for a BEACSPK and I had to contain myself in the shop. But I immediately texted him at work like BITCH I FOUND IT!

And now I'm a regular when I do my laundry if I have the coins to spare if not I get my butter roll and coffee from Parisi.

Figured I'd share the love since I've seen so many posts about them recently lol
