| - Hash House a Go Go is one of the top brunch spots in Las Vegas, specializing in massive portions of fresh from the farm food with unique culinary twists. And ever since it's feature on Man v. Food, it's become a destination spot for curious foodies like myself. So I couldn't resist this and made then my first choice for breakfast when staying downtown.
After much deliberation of the many wonderful-sounding breakfast items, I went for the item they tout as their best-known item, and the one that was featured on Man V. Food - the Sage Fried Chicken Benedict. It consists of a HUGE sage fried chicken breast, fresh spinach, hardwood smoked bacon, tomato, mozzarella, chipotle cream and scrambled eggs, served on a bed of mashed potatoes and a split biscuit. Eyeing the portions of the other dishes - the biscuits and gravy are insanely huge - I knew I was in for a challenge.
This thing was RIDICULOUSLY HUGE - see the picture I included. And everything was, for the most part, excellent. However, I really couldn't taste the sage in the fried chicken all that much. Everything gets piled together and mushed together after a few bites. Also, the biscuits were a bit hard and there wasn't enough sauce for them soften up, so they were mostly discarded.
Still, I ate about 90% of the plate, and promptly put myself into a food coma. My plans to go over to the Nugget for poker were delayed by a slight nap and digestion period. This is a great foodie "destination spot" and somewhere that you can literally split a plate between two people and both be completely full. I can only imagine the amount of food they throw out here.
