After arriving at the office this morning, I popped open the cardboard clamshell containing a bacon, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich from Eggy’s Place. The distinctive aroma of food-truck goodness wafted to a colleague two cubicles over.

“Whoever is eating something, that smells amazing,” he exclaimed.

Whatever is beyond amazing, that’s the taste of a BEC from Eggy’s, which opened for the season in late April. I suppose the eponymous owner has a legal name, but he’s been called Eggy since his breakfast days at the former Quintessence in Albany. Eggy started serving from a vintage food truck — which he swears is still drivable — in 2004. It’s parked in the same place in Albany’s warehouse district, at the corner of Eric Boulevard and North Lawrence Street. Understating the matter, it is not the most scenic spot for outdoor dining, flanked as it is by railroad tracks, I-787 and the tenacious, hulking monstrosity that is the doomed but very much still standing Central Warehouse.

Eggy’s sandwiches smell as they always have, and the taste — bacon plenty crisp, sausage just the right combination of juicy and greasy — is instantly identifiable as an Eggywich. There’s a real what-the-hell attitude to Eggy and Eggy’s Place. He can’t be bothered with nonessential chatter. When I questioned him once about how many eggs he cooks a week, it drew a terse, “I don’t know” and a refusal to estimate. When a TV crew showed up this morning and wanted video of him, which is a definite no-no, he told me that he replied with colorful dismissal of nosy media.

Eggy’s Place is open weekdays, closed on Saturday and Sunday. Hours officially start at 7 a.m., but if you show up a little earlier, he’ll still serve you. Lunch starts at 11 and ends at 1:30 p.m. Said Eggy, “Put 1:30ish.” OK, done: It’s 1:30ish.

You can see last year’s lunch menu here. A two-egg breakfast sandwich with cheese and choice of meat costs $8.33, or $9.75 with coffee. Meat options include bacon, sausage, kielbasa, ham, beef bologna, salami and pulled pork. Call 518-577-3663 when you’re about 10 minutes away to order ahead. Eggy likes that.

Soaking in the morning sun before being in the car and then the office for the rest of the day, I asked readers on Facebook where they like to dine al fresco. Below is what they’ve said so far. Email your favorites to sbarnes@timesunion.com.
