The "Which Came First?"
Chef Nick Wallace, a Chopped winner and Top Chef contestant, stacks crispy chicken, a fried egg, tomato jam, lettuce, herb mayo and potatoes on harvest bread.
Where we found it: Islands, the best breakfast sandwich spots in the US (Jun 2026) · The Daily Meal, the best breakfast sandwich in every state (Mar 2026)

The chicken and egg biscuit
45 min, plus 1 hour to brine · 4. Crispy chicken thigh, a fried egg and something sweet and sharp, in a split biscuit or bun. Brunch's best answer to which came first.
The pin is Jackson, not the door: use Directions for the address.
