The Take
Get the bacon egg and cheese on a roll with salt, pepper, and ketchup. The rest of the menu is processed regret.
Bodega earns a 52 Slop Score because the legendary order stands alone while hot cases and pre-wrapped meats push industrial filler.
NYC locals treat the corner spot like a status ritual, but the slop aisle wins most of the day.
The Verdict
The bacon egg and cheese remains the only civilized move. Skip the hot case and pre-wrapped options entirely.
Order the BEC, skip the rest. Slop Score: 52
