The Battle for best Breakfast in San Diego

Man Vs Food has become one of my favorite food television show. I like Adam Richman’s choice in restaurants; they tend be affordable and serve classic, simple, delicious foods. Adam Richman filmed an episode in Las Vegas, Nevada and went to the restaurant Hash House a Go Go; where he ordered their famous one pound stuffed hamburger. The burger looked amazing and stuffed with ham, egg, and cheese it seemed like a burger I could eat for breakfast. While watching the episode with my roommates I was ecstatic to hear that there was a Hash House A Go Go in San Diego (that rhymes), and I knew it was the next place I had to check out.
Breakfast is arguably the most important meal of the day and in my eyes the tastiest. I’ve visited the Broken Yolk and feel that the Hash House can put up a fight.
The Hash House A Go Go is located in Downtown, San Diego that means finding parking coould be semi-hectic. But, when finally reaching the restaurant's front steps, I was really surprised with how “cute” it looked. I expect the restaurants in downtown to give off this corporate/fancy look but the building gave off this homey feel. The burgundy/dark reddish paint job gave the restaurant it's classy look. We had to wait around 25 minutes to get seated but it was a really nice day and didn’t mind. We got seated the inside, and décor matched the outside of the restaurant. They had mahogany style and colored furniture with wood-like panel floor to continue with the flow of elegance. The menu was presented on this long laminated page but it was filled with interesting, complex, and intrinsic dishes, they definitely know how to remix the typically breakfast platter. I was going to order the same dish as Adam, but seeing that I was on a date I didn’t want to get my hands and mouth all dirty with hamburger grease, and the egg Benedict plates really caught my eye. I ordered the Adam’s sage Fried chicken egg Benedict with an orange juice and my date ordered the roasted chicken dish with a coffee. When our food arrived we were surprised with large the portions were and how they were decorated with a 12 inch garnish. The food was spectacular; it had various ingredients and made it rich in flavor and taste. The Egg Benedict definitely strayed away from the classic style as it was served with mashed potatoes, fried chicken, and a very creamy chipotle sauce. It was an enormous serving size and my date and I were definitely content.
Even though I did not get the one pound hamburger, I agree with Adam in that Hash House a Go Go integrates different style of cooking to provide you a unique and different yet pleasant dining experience. The food is great and even though you’re paying $15-$20 a dish, you can definitely share with someone else or take leftovers home. I’d say pass on the $7 home squeezed orange juice because it’s not worth it. Other than that I give Hash House a Go Go 4 out of 5 stars and I’d “Go Go” to Hash House over Broken Yolk any day.
