I prefer the one from 2018 (?).

This is too gaudy for me. Looks like it's a WMATA x JoJo Siwa collab (sorry Matt!)

ETA: this version. Im so sad I lost it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/334792819448?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28

>too expensive for what it is

This aint no egg McMuffin with off shelf mass produced products. The sandwich itself is practically a caricature of hipster-small-batch-homemade since everything including the hot sauce is made from scratch. They might as well tell us the hen's name. Queue Portlandia skit

I'm admittedly a Elle stan but i remember back in the day the bfast sandwich was made to order in front and it takes long AF bc they do that French omelet technique and put a TON of butter. Actually it's prob better that they make it BOH so people don't know how much butter goes into a single sandwich.

Best yes expensive and not a quick brand and go.

I've gotten in/out on a weekday before 8:30AM. It is a crap shoot depending on the latest article, IG post came out lol

It's good and I've been getting them when they started as a pop up at Purple but not something I'd wait in line for (and Im a "will wait in line for food" kinda person lol)

Lao food finally got out under the Thai/Issan umbrella.

Would be happy to see Burmese Malaysian Cambodian have a similar glow up.

RIP I loved the sauces. Some say Bandoola is closest they've gotten in flavors but haven't tried myself.

Hot take: magnolias are way prettier than cherry blossoms.
