Just So We're All On The Same Page Here, The Breakfast Burrito Is Always The Go-To Order On The Brunch Menu
As the calendar turns over to the month of October, you’re going to have a bunch of folks out there talking about how it’s “spooky szn” or fill your Twitter timeline up with how they’re the biggest Hocus Pocus fan on the planet and that they can recite the whole movie by heart. Now I certainly agree that fall is the best season of the year but spooky has nothing to do with it. The weather cools down so you finally don’t have to worry about sweating through 5 different shirts everyday. You get all 4 major sports playing at the same time. And I’m a firm believer that fall is the best time of the year for brunch activities because you can eat outside without having to deal with the aforementioned sweat, and you can also roll it right into either the 12pm college kickoffs on Saturdays or the 1pm NFL kickoffs on Sunday. Either way, there is always going to be football to watch right as you wrap up your delicious meal and Bloody Marys.
But while you’re slamming back that Bloody and eating that delicious meal, what are you ordering? What is the #1 item on any menu that is immediately going to speak to you? What is the pièce de résistance of any brunch menu? Well it’s an incredibly easy answer–the breakfast burrito.
I am trying my hardest here to think of any breakfast item that can even come close to how perfectly constructed the breakfast burrito is. I guess the only thing I can possibly think of here would be a standard breakfast sandwich on a bagel or something like that, but you can easily make that yourself at home. There’s something magical about a breakfast burrito that you just can’t quite seem to be able to achieve in your own kitchen. You’ve got the eggs, you’ve got the sausage, you’ve got avocado and salsa and cheese and throw a little jalapeño in there if you like to live your life on the spicy side. If a restaurant really wants to kick things up a notch and give you one of the best meals of your life, they’ll throw some hashbrowns or breakfast potatoes in there as well. Add some black beans, melt some cheese, pack it all in, wrap it all up, get a little crisp on the tortilla and you’re good to go. And then from there you just alternate putting Cholula on the burrito and in the Bloody Mary.
You can’t sit there right now and tell me that any sort of pancake order can compete with that. I’m not going to shit on avocado toast because I do enjoy it, but much like life itself, it never leaves you fully satisfied. Chicken and waffles is a strong order. If you don’t go with a breakfast burrito, chicken and waffles is surely next on the list. But yeah, this was an ode to the breakfast burrito because it deserves all the praise in the world and I feel like it doesn’t get nearly enough of it. I’m also just really hungry right now.
