California is filled with mom & pop burger joints named Tommy’s, Tom’s, Tom’s Jr, Tam’s or some variation thereof. They all serve Breakfast Burritos, but only Slater’s 50/50 decided to make a burger out of one!
The Breakfast Burrito Burger is Slater’s 50/50’s May 2015 Burger of the month. The flavors combine to create a taste and profile that reminds you of a traditional style breakfast burrito that you would get from one of South Central Los Angeles’ many Tom’s, Tam’s, Golden Ox, or Fabulous Burger locations. The burger overall is good, and true to the inspiration of local South Central.
It had been exactly a month since my last video. Life happened. May’s burger has Slater’s 50/50 patty blended with chorizo, a hash brown, an egg over easy, pico de gallo, guacamole and chipotle sour cream on a brioche bun.
The hash brown is my favorite part of a breakfast burrito, and it’s delicious here. The chorizo adds spice the moment you bite in, and the hash brown and egg give it the breakfast burrito feel. A bite with a lot of pico and guac is like dipping the end of your burrito in salsa. All I needed was a pepperoncini.
Somehow I ended up with the regular instead of my usual two-thirds, so there was a lot of brioche for the meat. It’s paired with Firestone Walker Easy Jack IPA, which cleans your palate so you can go right back for the chorizo and egg. Twelve bucks, and it’s National Burger Month.
