At the center of it all? An all-beef longanisa patty, made entirely from scratch by Filipino-American chef Anthony Evan.

A breakfast sandwich is humble and familiar. But when chef Anthony Evan hands you one from his pop-up concept, Machette at Here&There Coffee, it is a personal look into the flavors he was raised on. Even the name Machette comes from his memories of playing with his grandfather's machete in the backyard of his home.

Chef Anthony’s breakfast sandwich is a layered experience that pays homage to his Filipino upbringing: a maple sriracha gochujang sauce that hits sweet, spicy, and a bit tangy all at once, a fluffy soufflé egg that melts into every bite (my favorite part), melted cheddar cheese, a crispy hash brown, and an option for bacon if you’re feeling up for it, all stacked on a toasted brioche bun.
