If the idea of a convenience store sandwich conjures up visions of stale bread and a mysterious filling that may not pass the sniff test, think again. Anthony Bourdain called egg sandwiches found at Japan's convenience stores "pillows of love." In the Okinawa episode of "Parts Unknown," which aired in 2015, Bourdain described this snack as having an unholy grip on him. Bourdain swore by Lawson's version in particular. Lawson, a chain of convenience stores, sells packaged egg sandwiches, or tamago sandos, for around $2. Before heading to the airport on her last day in Japan, BI’s Jenny McGrath stopped in for one. For the price and speed, she said, it was hard to top. Click the link in our bio to read more about McGrath’s experience.
