| - One Sunday morning as I was leaving work at 7am and hungry for breakfast, I thought to myself, "Self, you should finally go to Eggs-R-Us!" Sometimes, I must admit, I have the best ideas.
I arrived just before 7:30am and they already had a few patrons at tables. I was solo so I just took a seat at the counter. I had been drooling about the breakfast burrito for awhile. You might even say I have a breakfast burrito addiction. I ordered mine with the sweet sausage and oh my.....it was everything I dreamed it would be. Before I even devoured it, I was impressed with size. Biggest breakfast burrito I've seen yet. Now I'm not afraid of food in the least. But about halfway through that burrito I had to take a breath. At this point the waitress came over and asked me if I wanted a box. I acted a bit insulted by her assumption that I was unable to finish this burrito in one sitting. However, shortly after that I started to feel lightheaded. Then I kind of picked apart what little remained and ate the sausage and a few other bites until I had enough. Yes, faithful followers, I was just narrowly defeated by the Eggs-R-Us breakfast burrito. But when I was done it was quite clear that I did not need a to-go box.
All told, my burrito with the meat addition was $8.75. Not bad when the size is taken into consideration. That bad boy was stuffed with eggs, cheese, sausage and enough potatoes to serve two people. Sitting at the counter was also probably not the best idea as I watched several other delicious looking items being made like the mancakes and the breakfast sandwich. Or maybe it was the best idea because now I have a few reasons to return.
As I left, a gentleman, perhaps the owner, was taking empty boxes outside. He held the door open for me and personally thanked me as I left. That sincere appreciation was the best way to end one of the best breakfasts I've had in recent memory.
