Long Wait A No-Go

Have you ever waited hours for brunch?

We have now.

After seeing 389(!) positive reviews on yelp and per the recommendation of that girl, we headed to Hash House A Go Go, where she and her husband met us.

How crowded was this place? There was coffee and water available for all us suckers.

It was small and cute, which is part of the reason why the wait is so long.

Everyone was really happy when we finally sat down.

Fun drinks: ginger limeade, kiwi watermelon lemonade, and blueberry mojito. Don't judge that a mojito was ordered. By the time we sat down, it was about 2 p.m.!

The dishes were Enormous. Yes, with a capital "E." Very tasty, but I felt so extraordinarily full only about a quarter into my meal -- like almost an uncomfortable fullness. This is not the place for someone looking for light fare.

Sage fried chicken benedict with fresh spinach, hardwood smoked bacon, market tomato, griddled mozzarella, chipotle cream, and scrambled eggs with biscuit and griddled mashed potatoes.

Roasted pork tenderloin hash, charred tomato, corn, baby green beans, and mozzarella with crispy potatoes and topped with two eggs and served with fruit and biscuit.

Two eggs, sausage, potatoes, fruit, and biscuit.

Torry and a mini tree on her plate.

Snickers flapjack. It was the size of a medium pizza.

Smoked chicken scramble, sundried tomato pesto, spinach, and goat cheese served with crispy potatoes and biscuit.

Ground turkey hash, hardwood smoked bacon, onion, and smoked mozzarella with crispy potatoes and topped with two eggs and served with fruit and biscuit.

House smoked fresh salmon hash, cream cheese and scallions with crispy potatoes and topped with two eggs and served with fruit and biscuit.

We all barely made a dent in our meals. I think, if I ever go back, I won't get a hash because all the oil sits in the skillet, which is probably what made me feel so bloated.

But this heavy meal got me through the very long day that ensued. That's the next post!

  9. Thank goodness I ate lunch before looking at all this food porn.

    People actually judge about ordering a mojito at brunch?! I'm too much of a lush to have that thought cross my mind.
