This Is MI's Best Breakfast Sandwich, New Ranking Says

ROYAL OAK, MI — When not just any breakfast sandwich will do, head to O.W.L in Royal Oak.

It’s the home of the Chicken Fried Chicken and Cheese Egg Sandwich, which the food website Chowhound rates as the best breakfast sandwich in Michigan.

The popular sandwich features crispy chicken and runny egg on a sesame cemita roll with a tangy cheese spread.

"The Chicken Fried Chicken and Cheese Egg Sandwich will hit the spot anytime of day or night," Chowhound wrote.

To determine the best breakfast sandwich in every state, Chowhound looked at customer reviews on such sites as Yelp, TripAdvisor and Reddit, and narrowed the list down to restaurants whose breakfast sandwiches earned scores of at least 4.5 stars.
