Fried Rice Collective chefs Scott Drewno and Danny Lee launched I Egg You on Sept. 12, and it operates out of the Capitol Hill ChiKo location only on Saturdays and Sundays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
I Egg You also taps into locally sourced ingredients, such as smoked salmon from City Smokehouse in Northeast D.C., sausages from Logan Sausage in Alexandria, Virginia, milk bread from O Bread Bakery in Annandale, Virginia, and coffee from woman-owned Rako Coffee Roasters in Lorton, Virginia.
Breakfast sandwiches (which range in price from $5 to $9) include names like 鈥淵ou Bacon Me Crazy鈥� and 鈥淧ork, It鈥檚 What For Breakfast.鈥� There鈥檚 an open-faced griddle named 鈥淟ox of Love.鈥�
Sides include various versions of breakfast potatoes (with sides of Old Bay aioli and candied jalapenos as options).
