Chowhound just named this Brooklyn breakfast sandwich the best in all of New York State
Enter the 'Green Eggs & Ham' sandwich from Brancaccio's Food Shop, a low-key neighborhood gem where the sandwiches are stacked and the lines are justified. Chowhound called out the shop's Italian-style approach and gourmet ingredients, but it's the sandwich's pesto scrambled eggs, prosciutto cotto and fontina cheese on a hearty roll that won reviewers over.
'It's hard to overstate how much hype Brancaccio's Food Shop in Brooklyn gets,' the article notes—and in this case, the buzz seems entirely deserved. This savory, herbaceous flavor bomb isn't your average hangover cure.
Located on Fort Hamilton Parkway, Brancaccio's has quietly been serving locals since 2002, but this shoutout may put the small shop on the radar of sandwich pilgrims far beyond the 11218 zip code. The menu changes often, but the Green Eggs & Ham has become something of a signature. And with hours from Wednesday to Sunday, 8 am to 6 pm, you've got a solid window to chase the sandwich dream (just don't roll up on a Monday).
The team at Chowhound compiled their list using thousands of Yelp reviews, Reddit threads and food forums, prioritizing places with consistent, enthusiastic praise and sandwiches made with high-quality ingredients. So while taste is subjective, the Green Eggs & Ham clearly made enough mouths happy to come out on top for the Empire State.

Chowhound just named this Brooklyn breakfast sandwich the best in all of New York State
Move over bacon, egg and cheese: Brooklyn has a new breakfast royalty and it's wearing green. According to Chowhound's newly released roundup of the best breakfast sandwiches in every U.S. state, the crown for New York goes not to a greasy bodega classic but to an elevated, Italian-accented creation tucked away in Windsor Terrace. Enter the 'Green Eggs & Ham' sandwich from Brancaccio's Food Shop, a low-key neighborhood gem where the sandwiches are stacked and the lines are justified.

Tray-baked garlic mushroom, mascarpone and artichoke pizza
This style of pizza is probably my favourite. It's easy to make, and not far off from a focaccia – light, fluffy and ideal for a summer lunch in the garden. The topping is elevated by using quality ingredients from the Tesco Finest range. For me, that includes tender marinated violetta artichokes, creamy mozzarella di bufala and exotic mixed mushrooms, including shiitake, oyster and other varieties for a rich flavour and texture. Prep 30 min (plus 2 hr 45 min proving time) Cook 50 min Serves 6 For the topping 2 tbsp Tesco Finest Sicilian extra virgin olive oil, plus a little extra to drizzle 450g Tesco Finest exotic mixed mushrooms, larger mushrooms halved 2 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced 2 tbsp fresh thyme 140g Tesco Finest Italian violetta artichokes, halved 2 balls Tesco Finest mozzarella di bufala Campana, drained and torn 70g mascarpone 20g Tesco Finest parmigiano reggiano, grated (optional) For the base 500g Tesco Finest '00' grade pasta and pizza flour 1 sachet fast action yeast 1 tsp salt 1 tsp sugar 4 tbsp Tesco Finest Sicilian extra virgin olive oil 350ml tepid water To servePeppery salad leaves Suggested wine pairingTesco Finest Central Otago pinot noir Tip the flour into a large mixing bowl. Add the yeast, salt and sugar, and mix together. Make a well in the centre for the oil and water. Mix until you have a dough then knead in a stand mixer for 5 minutes, or knead by hand on a well-floured surface for 7 minutes. Form the dough into a ball and place in an oiled bowl, cover and set aside at room temperature for about 2 hours or until doubled in size. Oil a large lipped baking tray and line with baking paper. Roll out the dough and fit snugly into the tray. Leave to rise again in a warm place for 30 minutes. To create a 'pizza stone', place a second baking tray, overturned, on the top shelf of the oven and put the heat on to full power. Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large pan. Batch fry the mushrooms over a medium heat for 7-10 minutes, or until they start to brown. Add the garlic, 1 tbsp of thyme and cook for 3 minutes. Set aside to cool. Mix the mascarpone in a bowl with a little salt. Drizzle a little extra oil on to the dough and dimple all over with your hands. Top with the mushrooms, mozzarella, artichokes, dollops of mascarpone, the remaining thyme and the parmesan, if using. Rest for 15 minutes. Place the tray containing the dough on top of the 'pizza stone' in the oven and turn down to 200C (180C fan)/390F/gas 6. Bake for 40 minutes until golden and risen. Slide on to a board and slice into six. Serve with a well-dressed peppery salad. Shop the ingredients for this recipe on and discover how Tesco Finest can make your everyday taste better

World War II documents discovered in Lanark home reunited with owner's family
Martin Reid found the letters and photographs wedged within an antique desk just before the 80th anniversary of VE Day A Lanark man who discovered a lost folder of original World War II documents hidden in an antique desk just before the 80th anniversary of VE Day has been able to reunite them with the son of their distinguished owner. Lanarkshire Live told in May how construction company director Martin Reid had just chanced upon the treasure trove of letters, maps and photos wedged behind a drawer in an antique desk which he had bought at auction four years earlier. He discovered that they had belonged to the late Ian Rodger OBE, who had served as a wartime army captain in Italy and Tunisia – and within days of sharing his story, was in contact with Mr Rodger's son Sandy and has since reunited him with the previously-unseen items. Martin was thrilled to be able to hand over the green folder and its historic contents to Sandy, who now lives in the south of England, when he made a special trip to Edinburgh to collect his father's old papers. The Lanark resident said: 'Sandy is a lovely guy and very proud of his father, and it was very moving seeing his reaction as he leafed through the folder and shared anecdotes. The sole reason for bringing this story to light was to try and track down Ian Rodger's son and return the documents, and I am very pleased that we have done that. 'It certainly captured the imagination of many people – the maps, letters and photographs are utterly fascinating and provide a really important insight into the British Army's involvement in the Italian campaign against Adolf Hitler's Germany.' Martin had regularly used the desk since buying it at auction in Glasgow for £110 in 2021, but only found the folder when recently moving furniture; while Sandy said he had never before seen the contents – which include an 80-year-old colour map of Tunisia from the British War Office, detailed route maps used by his regiment, typewritten letters from wartime commanders, reunion invitations and a photograph featuring both Captain Rodger and Major Jack Profumo, later a famous MP. Sandy told how the folder was missed as he cleared the Glasgow home of his mother Isabel during the Covid lockdown in January 2021 as she moved into a care home, with restrictions at the time giving him a very limited period to carry out the task He said: 'I was left with less than two days to clear her flat, trying to preserve the memories of her own and my father's long and rather remarkable lives. In the process I missed a folder of papers which had fallen behind a desk drawer, and, but for Martin's kindness and initiative, they would have remained lost. 'His kind return of my father's old Second World War papers put right a small consequence of a much more recent crisis, Covid-19. They add to a fascinating collection of letters, maps and photos, telling the story of the 8th Army's advance through North Africa, Italy, and into Austria in the last three years of the war.' Martin enlisted the help of the Church of Scotland to trace Ian's family, having discovered that he had been an elder at Wellington Church in Glasgow before he died in 2007, aged 91. Sandy said how he is 'hugely grateful to Martin and to Cameron Brooks from the Church for their detective work', as well as to all those who drew the subsequent article to his attention put them in touch – and shared more about his father's life and impressive achievements after the war. Mr Rodger, who was appointed MBE for his wartime service, was a solicitor and became a partner in Glasgow law firm Brechin Robb, lectured in accountancy law at Glasgow University; and was a co-founder of Scottish Opera as well as devoting years of voluntary service to the Scout Association, later being appointed OBE. Sandy told how his father was inspired to help found Scottish Opera in the 1960s after enjoying performances in wartime Naples, Rome and Venice; and added of the newly-found papers: 'The perspective of a signals officer offers an amazing overview of the conflict. 'There isn't much mention of the human cost of the war, and my father never really spoke of this, perhaps typically. The sense I have is that the war changed Dad and the course of his life, perhaps galvanising him into action as a leader in multiple areas of Scottish society, as well as making him a wonderful, if rather unusual, father.'
