I’ve been on this side of the valley for a while now, and still have not found a great breakfast burrito. Its not for a lack of places that make burritos, there’s plenty. So, there’s got to be some great ones out here, let’s find them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The list will be updated as more quests are completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This isn’t like a burger, where bun, meat, and cheese is all you need for a good baseline burger measurement. Different places make their burritos differently. So, let’s define the baseline burrito.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, scrambled eggs, and a good tortilla are a must, easy, done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next, potatoes, this is where there’s a lot of variety. Some places have hash browns, other cubes, and some places even have large chunks of stewed potatoes. They are all good, but some are not ideal when it comes to being in a burrito – namely the stewed chunks of potato.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When it comes to meat there’s a lot of options out there, but once again, we’re looking for a baseline that all burritorias can meet. Based off of that, we’re down to bacon, ham and sausage for breakfast meats. Bacon probably being the most common of the bunch, so let’s go with that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, with that we have our breakfast burrito baseline:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Everything else is bonus (cheese, avocado, pico de gallo). For the sake of science, whatever burrito a place has on its menu, un-modified, that’s closest to the baseline will be the one I order and use for the aforementioned scientific study. No substitutions, or add-ons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now that delivery apps and ghost restaurants are thing, and there are definitely some good breakfast burritos on them, should they be included?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m leaning towards no. Mostly because of how regional some of these can be, and someone who is not ordering in my area may not be able to get one since they would be outside of it’s ‘area’. But they could drive out to any physical place to get a breakfast burrito should they want one, and not have to figure out how to be inside the geo fence that grants them access to a ghost restaurant on a delivery app.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
