There are about to be massive lines for Dominique Ansel and Wylie Dufresne's $20 egg sandwich

New Yorkers will pay a pretty penny for a lot of things—$100 for a doughnut even—and now they can add a $20 bacon-egg-and-cheese to the list. But this is no ordinary BEC—this hybrid sandwich comes courtesy two of the city's most innovative culinary minds, pastry wizard Dominique Ansel and molecular-gastronomy pioneer Wylie Dufresne.

Available from Saturday, January 16th to Monday, January 18th at Dominique Ansel Kitchen, the wd~Ansel Egg Melt features soft-scrambled eggs with a confit egg yolk, homemade cheese, bacon, maple flakes and—brace yourself—black truffles on a smoked English muffin. And in case you're still balking at the price tag, the sammie is paired with crispy truffled hash browns on the side. Better get in line now.
