I Egg You is a breakfast and lunch spot on 8th Street SE in Capitol Hill, built around the egg by Scott Drewno and Danny Lee of The Fried Rice Collective, whose other concepts include Anju, ChiKo, and District Catering.
The menu centers on stuffed breakfast sandwiches made with ingredients from partners like Shilla Bakery, Logan Sausage, Ivy City Smokehouse, and La Colombe Coffee, with lunch options extending into the afternoon. The bulgogi sandwich and other specialty sandwiches have become standouts among regulars.
The 1,800-square-foot space seats 60 and shifts through the day, opening as a casual breakfast counter before its full bar comes into play with breakfast cocktails, coffee, and tea. In the evening, the room converts into a private event venue known as The Shell.
In 2025, the James Beard Foundation named I Egg You's restaurateur both a semifinalist and a finalist for Outstanding Restaurateur.
