Let's be honest—can you really find a bad breakfast sandwich? It's like back in college when the best beer was always a free one. The same logic applies to breakfast sandwiches. If someone offers you a warm, delicious breakfast sandwich, you're definitely not turning it down.

But what even makes a breakfast sandwich ‘the best’ and how does one determine that?

The publication 24/7 Tempo recently put together a list of ‘The Best Breakfast Sandwich in Every State,’ and to compile their list, 24/7 Tempo considered various factors reflecting local tastes and ingredients.

The methodology used to determine the selections made by 24/7 Tempo involved consulting user reviews from Yelp, TripAdvisor, and Zomato, as well as local and regional review sites and national roundups of the best breakfasts and breakfast sandwiches.

So, what’s the best breakfast sandwich in Maine and where can I find it?

24/7 Tempo’s selection for Maine’s best breakfast sandwich is ‘The Deluxe Sandwich’ at Maine’s oldest diner, The Palace Diner in Biddeford. They had the following to say:

This 15-stool diner, opened in 1927 in a community just southwest of Portland, is said to be the oldest dining-car diner in Maine. Its signature breakfast sandwich is “deluxe” because the egg is baked rather than fried, so that it resembles a small frittata, then combined with applewood-smoked bacon, cheddar, and jalapeños, and served on a sandwich-size English muffin.
