| - If I could start every day with a meal from Jack Flaps, I would. (I'd also be dead in 3 weeks, but that's just a minor detail.)
There's something to be said about consistency in breakfast: regular dishes like scrambled eggs with toast and regular pancakes are mainstays for a reason. But, every now and again, it's worthwhile to flip those notions on their heads. Jack Flaps is the place where those notions get flipped.
Simple breakfast staples get a lot of extra attention at this restaurant. Everything is taken just to a level of overindulgence, but pulls back just a little to remain accessible and familiar.
I got the "Real F-ing Breakfast Burrito." It was a big portion, but I was up for the commitment. All of the components, from the beef filling and eggs to the crema and salsa on top were delicious. I also asked for some of their hot sauce, which was so good that I brought a bottle home. ($2 well worth it.)
The absolute star was the mexican coke pork belly. The only mistake I made in ordering the pork belly was sharing with the other people at the table. (Lesson learned.)
Others at my table ordered the Fat Elvis, (waffles with peanut butter, bananas, and candied bacon), the Vietnamese-Style sausage patties (SO GOOD), creamsickle Jack Flaps, and the PB&J Eggy bread.
We all left happy and stuffed. It's the perfect way to start your day if your immediate post-breakfast plans include a nap.
