French Toast Benny Burger | The Burger Crawl – Ep. 42

114 The California Breakfast Burrito Burger at Slater's 50/50 was a great way to have an all-day breakfast in burger form. Well, Scott Slater has outdone himself with January 2016's #BOMNation Burger, The French Toast Benny Burger. It is an open-faced burger with a runny sunny-side up egg, a 100% sausage patty, chipotle sauce, and a syrup-glazed sourdough french toast under bun.

I came two days earlier and got the one-pound version, and it was massive, with sauce covering the whole thing. There was no way to pick it up. This time I got the regular so I could actually hold it.

The French toast has a sweetness to it, whether the syrup is baked into the crust or on top. The sausage is a thick pork sausage and it’s so good. Then the egg yolk breaks. One of my favorite things is breaking a yolk and dipping toast in it, and that’s what this is: eggy, salty goodness. The chipotle sauce adds a little spice. You can’t taste the arugula at all, so it’s there as a formality.

Being open-faced made me nervous, because it’s messy as hell, but it’s well executed: sweet, savory and spicy. I never look at the menu here, because I only get the Burger of the Month, but today I did and found a Pop-Tart milkshake with a whole Pop-Tart broken up in it. I drank almost all of it.
