We hunkered down at the corner stool spot near the window. [And a random observation, these stools are very comfy stools, because they have a mini back. Will this make or break your trip? Probably not-- just keeping you informed in all ways.] I ordered a lemongrass tea, which tasted like detoxifying happiness, and my boyfriend ordered a coffee, which tasted like coffee (good coffee, FYI, for you coffee peeps).

I ended up ordering the Spandex, which is miso quinoa, pickled carrots, greens, and a poached egg (I added a second). My boyfriend ordered the BEC, which looked like heaven, and was made of an egg, shelburne cheddar, blackforest bacon, tomato jam, fresh pickled jalapeno, on a delicious salted fluffy roll. We decided to split the El Camino (a bowl consisting of a poached egg, avocado, pulled pork, tomatoes, tortilla chips and cilantro) and the Hashbrowns (two lil hashbrown nuggs).

The El Camino was the winner to me. I get why they call it "The Road" because I would walk many a road for this bowl (namely, Broadway, because that's how I get from my apartment to this spot). I love sweet southern style pulled pork, and this was perfectly sweet and delicious and saucy. It was rich, not overly heavy, and overly heavenly. The other winner to me was the side of hashbrowns. I'm not a hashbrown person, I repeat, not a hashbrown person, and I was digging these. They're not overly oily or greasy-- more like crispy wedges of shredded potatoes, in a round ball. Like an adult-ified hush puppy. The ketchup was weirdly good-- I don't know why, it was slightly spicy and I slightly wanted to ask for more to put on everything. (I'm also not a ketchup person-- what is this new me Egg Shop has created?) I didn't try the BEC, but my boyfriend was loving it, and he's been around the BEC block more than a few times. The Spandex was good-- it just didn't stand out as much among the other amazing flavors. When I stirred in some of the pulled pork with the quinoa, though-- now we're talking.
