Best Breakfast Food

Bttt

Usually Mrs. Brat eats fairly healthy for breakfast, but this morning she startled me by having this - egg & bacon on a caramel glazed donut (picked up at her church yesterday). 
She just fixed me a regular bacon egg cheese breakfast taco on a flour tortilla.

Have a question for all of you breakfast lovers. For many, many years, I have enjoyed putting runny-yolk eggs on top of my pancakes. Pancakes which have syrup and butter already applied. Combo of the cake, the sweetness, the yolk and slight bit of salt, ... mmmmm.

I have a couple of friends who find this to be the most disgusting thing they have ever seen, which I don't understand. One made the statement that "only 1 in 100 people would eat that." So, I ask all of you, how do you find this to be?

  1. Disgusting, I would never eat that.
  2. Tried it, didn't like it.
  3. Never had it, but seems like it could be ok. I'd try it.
  4. Love it, do it all the time.

I would never put random shit on top of a pancake. That's what waffles and crepes and what have you are for. A well made pancake is one of God's finest creations and just needs butter and syrup (the best ones really require neither - but can still be enhanced). It's like a perfectly smoked piece of meat. Take your compotes and powdered sugar and fried eggs and get the fuck out of here (oh and Jesus fuck - don't get me started on whipped cream).

I certainly won't judge anyone for it - just not for me. I'm a pancake purist. 

I will syrup up some sausage, bacon, eggs, what have you. I get loose in other arenas. Just keep your eggs off my damn pancakes. 

(Slight exception: there are some tasteful modifications to the pancake itself that I will entertain. Such as blueberry or gingerbread pancakes. Chocolate chips and you're pushing your luck.)

Y'all are all disgusting. Fried eggs is for combining with savory stuff, not sweet stuff.

Hell, just put a fried egg on top of a cinnamon roll. Why not.

This is me exactly.  I don't mix sweet and savory.  Egg yolk on bacon, sausage, papas, hash browns, toast, refried beans, or a tortilla?  All good.

I’m picky about where a fried egg goes. I ain’t down with them on pancakes or waffles. Don’t want them on my cheeseburger. Although I prefer fried eggs over easy on my Benedicts vs poached eggs.

I always make my eggs over easy when I make eggs Benedict at home.

you're breaking my goddamn heart with that pic.

I know.  Apologies.  Sometimes I do this to myself on purpose.

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real

The term “food porn” is overused, but absolutely applies here.

I’m gonna guess that you don’t know the backstory on this one.  The best enchiladas in the city of Austin, for decades, were served at a rundown bowling alley.  It closed a few years ago because the land became too valuable for a bowling alley to occupy the space.  Anyone who ever ate those Dart Bowl enchiladas would gladly murder someone to have them one more time.

Definitely had no clue about that, I just thought that looked fucking delicious

The backstory is true, and your statement is also true.  They were absolutely delicious.  RIP, Dart Bowl.

Fried egg on top of enchiladas is a fantastic breakfast food.

That’s a killer pic but it would be mightily improved by flicking that egg into the dogs bowl.

Don’t like the egg on correctly made TexMex cheese enchiladas. I do like fried eggs over easy on top of New Mexican cheese enchiladas with green chile sauce. Beans refried in bacon grease. With some hot sopapillas with butter and cinnamon honey.

They did an article on Peggy from Dart Bowl right before they closed down.

She would not spill the beans on thier recipe though.

I used to go to the the original Dart Bowl on Burnet for lunch all of the time.

They had great lunch plates and fabulous homeade rolls.

The guy in the photo is her husband Butch who ran it back then.

Old guy named Milton did the cooking back then.

Three hot waitresses including Peggy back then too.spacer.png

I like poached eggs over Canadian bacon & cheddar cheese on buttered English muffins. 
No Hollandaise sauce plz.

A fried egg on a burger is good, along with bacon.

You could not be more wrong. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Those enchiladas tasted even better than they looked.

Anyone tried the Dart Bowl Enchiladas at El Dorado and, if so, are they comparable to the original? 

Also, fwiw, the burgers at Big Lebowski at Highland Lanes are not close to the jalapeno cheeseburgers at Dart Bowl, so I'm betting that they're not (Big Lebowski uses sweet Hawaiian buns, which doesn't work for me).

Sweet and savory together? Oh my!

Maybe next time I put an egg on my pancake (with syrup), I also have some sugared bacon to go with it.

I'm not a huge fan of fried egg yolks unless it's busted over some otherwise solid cuisine.  Then, I'm all in.

Mopping up egg yolks with a nice piece of toast is one of life's little pleasures.

I need to lean into it more.  I moved past my runny yolk distaste with Stanley's BBQ's Mother Clucker.  I'm going to look for opportunities.

Guacamole, toast, fried egg, bacon, and Taco Bell Fire sauce. Delicious.

I also enjoy what my aunt called a One Eyed Susan. Take a piece of toast, cut a hole in the center, spray both sides with butter, crack an egg and pour it in the hole. 6 minutes at 350 leaves a pretty runny yolk. Top with bacon and Crystal hot sauce.
