Bacon and eggs have been a classic breakfast staple for centuries, with their origins dating back to ancient Rome. The dish gained popularity in the 1920s when Edward Bernays, a nephew of Sigmund Freud and a public relations expert, promoted it as a hearty American breakfast. The combination of crispy, savory bacon and perfectly cooked eggs has since become a beloved morning tradition. Chefs like Julia Child and Gordon Ramsay have popularized various methods of preparing this dish, from sunny-side up to scrambled eggs. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in diners and brunch spots across the United States, where the key is to source high-quality, thick-cut bacon and farm-fresh eggs.
