Best Breakfast Sandwich

Lutherf said:

It's got to be good chorizo...something with a little kick to it. It also needs to be drained. So many chorizo breakfast burritos end up dripping grease and that's just hell on my stomach.

There was a place around the corner from where I worked in El Paso that made AWESOME chorizo breakfast burritos. Generally, never order a chorizo burrito from any place they speak English and you'll be OK.

Around here it is about 70% Hispanic so good "Mexican" food is readily available.

Probably more flavorful than Wheaties, at least.

Beer is the breakfast of champions. Never heard that?

I figured two slices of bread makes it the breakfast sandwich of champions.

At least you could make the bread whole wheat.

I don't think that's good for a hangover.

Honestly, even though we have a bunch of great Mexican restaurants out here some of the best food is what I call "trunk tacos". At most job sites some guy will show up every morning with a trunk full of home made burritos and tamales. Generally speaking, what he's got will be head and shoulders better than what you get in a restaurant. There are also a bunch of lunch carts that put out damned fine food.

I'll defer to your apparently superior hangover knowledge.
I've actually heard that a bit of alcohol actually helps a hangover.
Not that I would have any experience with that sort of thing...........
But I've heard stories.....and I know some people....

Two slices of white bread. Mayo. Lettuce. 2 fried eggs over easy (still a good bit runny in the yolk). Salt. Pepper.

Once the yolk is broken, the goodness really begins.

Oh, I've had my party years. These days they seem eerily distant, but I remember them.

This quote pretty much sums up the mcgriddle

"I can only assume from your cavalier attitude that you have yet to partake of the wonderment that is the McGriddle. Let me enlighten you. What happens is the One True God grows them on trees in the Elysian Fields using a heretofore unused incantation. He then proceeds to magic them down to your local eatery where whatever Ghetto Bastard cook your McDonalds has rescued from welfare that week proceeds to wrap it in cellophane and pass it along to you, the fortunate consumer. You proceed to ingest this finery in the vain hope that your obviously overmatched taste buds can somehow grasp the delectable intricacies it is suddenly faced with. Is that egg? Why yes it is, and bacon too. But wait–they didn’t add…yes they did, yes they did indeed. They added cheese. And then, then my friends, they wrapped it in a sumptuous pancake bun! As your taste buds try to process that amazing piece of information, IT hits them…the syrup nugget. THE MOTHER****ING SYRUP NUGGET! It announces itself with a burst of confectionery grandiosity the likes of your which your palate has never seen.”

Egg, pastrami, Swiss, on a fresh croissant.

Even the gas station (Stripes under the Taco Laredo franchise) tacos are decent around here. There was quite a fuss when they increased their prices by 20% recently (2015?) but I don't think asking about $3 for two breakfast tacos is too much. I agree that food trucks, carts and trailers often have some darned good food but those making them fresh at home are better still.

Homemade tamales are to die for. So different from restaurant fare. Yum.
