I get what you are saying, but I feel like bacon is a great compliment to steak...so often you see the bacon wrapped around the steak on the grill, would be a shame to not include this

Interesting take on it. Bacon Wrap filets, nothing wrong with that, that would be a big ass breakfast burrito. I want to add some of those incredible cheesey hash browns into it as well, with some extra fantastic sour cream and you would have yourself a fucking masterpiece. Damn, I bet that thing would sell for 19.99 easily and be a huge hit

would the sour cream mesh with the hollandaise? On 2nd thought go with a little extra sour cream when you make the hash's so it soaks it up and then the hollandaise can top it off. Damn

Call me a heretic if you like, but I just refuse to buy into the whole "breakfast burrito" nonsense. LEGIT burritos are made to the highest standards at ALL HOURS OF THE DAY. You can have a *burrito* at breakfast if you like, but just because its early in the day doesn't mean you have standing permission to BASTARDIZE the burrito-making process!

Prepare it right, or GTFO.


There is a fine line between excellence and just another fried rice concoction when adding egg to anything with rice.

Adding a tortilla might or might not change that....

But I will concur that I've never been a fan of breakfast and I'm the kind that is very likely just to bust out a deli sandwich for breakfast.

Remember when Burger King used to have that "Your way, right away, at any time of the day" deal? IE: You could get a Whopper at 9 AM if you wanted to.

I remember when they stopped (This is at least a decade ago...Goddamn I'm old)...I went through the drive-thru with a buddy in the morning to grab a bite...Proceeded to order a whopper and got the "Don't you know what time it is?" rejection hand...so I go "What happened to your way, right away at any time of the day"...Apparently the promotion had not lasted very long and this was 4 or so months after give or take...but I remember distinctly the at least 15 seconds of deathly silence before my buddy went "Jiddy...What the hell is wrong with you?"


I still feel like I was in the right feeling ripped in the deal...That f*cking promotion was right up my alley...I'm sure some profit-mongering happiness of others-hating trust fund baby that got his hookup job cuz his dad worked with corporate decided to slash it...F*ck that guy...wherever he is.

BTW....Quick snippet from my most recent Chipotle visit:

Seeing as how they load the hell out of "burrito bowls" (I don't know how the hell it's a burrito if it is in a bowl and not a tortilla...and by my personal observation the only difference between a burrito bowl and a salad at that joint is one has the lettuce on top and one on the bottom....Sleight of hand marketing to make it seem like there's selection...which is pretty pathetic considering their primary menu item is franchise-anchoring in its soloness)....Sh*t...Ranting...So much for "quick snippet"..

Seeing as how they load the hell out of "burrito bowls" I decided to order one and ask for a tortilla on the side.

Managers were called in.

Heads asploded.

Much confusion, line-stalling, and general disgust was had.

Strongly recommend not going there unless you are a very patient person.

If yer not sure of your patience tolerance and your start date o fthis game is in the 2008 year, imagine yourself locked in a room with Yellow Balloon...If you could survive an hour without going all disaster date crazy nuts on him...then you can probably give it a go...

Well, thankfully for folks like you and me, Whataburger will serve a hamburger anytime they are open. I don't like starting my work day before 8 (I tend to be in the office until 7 pm as it is). But I'll start early IF there's a profit waiting to be had. On many a day of that type, "breakfast" has consisted of a double-meat Whataburger! Its a nice incentive to lessen the blow of the early alarm clock.

That's old school for sure- I do that too with the tortilla on the side - I demand 3 scoops of rice in my bowl - extra cheese - extra hot sauce and if I think there is enough room I'll chip in for extra meat - but usually when I ask for rice I get 1+ full scoops of steak anyways because that fuck beyond the counter knows I ain't playin - the bottom line is this for me - if the guy working behind the wrap your buritto assembly line is white i get a bowl with an extra tortilla because I know it ain't gonna be right- but if the dude behind the counter is killin it I'll still go with the burrito

Also if you're going to ask for the tortilla with your bowl do it last- otherwise that person behind the counter gonna play games with how much meat they give you because they know you pullin a fast one on them by taking that shell with a bowl- if they jerk me around on the meat I'll just pay for double and get a water to stick it to them and drink like 8 diet cokes- then I'll hang around until I have to pee and Spray it all over their bathroom walls

In some circles, credit is given to "Columbo" for this technique.

Another good tip is don't ask for extra rice until the dude gives you your meat- you gotta read his body language but if it's someone with additude best bet is to just say your order look down and wait for him to not be annoyed then jump on h and be like Yo Yo Yo more rice pls, and when he short changes you just give him that look and say no... More pls. More pls. And just keep saying more until you got what you came for-

I appreciate how the burrito artists working at Chipotle adapt their scoop size according to the size of the person ordering. When I dine with my wife at that fine establishment... Their scoop bias could not be more clear.....

My wife is about 5'4" 115 lbs and orders first... Medium size pile of rice and a puny scoop of chicken.
Then I follow at 6'6" 275 lbs and get twice the rice and chicken. They literaly deploy chicken onto my burrito... Look up at me and then continue to add until they feel the porportion is correct. Love it.

Bravo Chipotle. Bravo.
