Your first meal of the day deserves to be a good one. T: (702) 804-4646.Īdditional locations in Las Vegas, San Diego and Chicago.If you’re going to actually pay for breakfast in town, please don’t do it at a buffet (brunch is another story, though). Happy 4 th of July!Ħ800 West Sahara Avenue Las Vegas, Nevada 89146. Now, that’s a Sunday Morning fit for a true American. Possibly the most patriotic item on the menu, the O'Hare of the dog consists of a 24 oz Budweiser served in a brown paper bag and a side of bacon. Post Script: Being that we are equal opportunity alcohol consumers here at the Drunken Tomato, it is worth mentioning one other boozy brunch offering. So, if you’re looking to embrace the great American brunch, look no further than drinking a bloody mary, through a very American ( read: very large) straw, at Hash House A Go Go.
#Hash house a go go full
Overall, the drink was full bodied and felt very complete. The vodka was pleasingly prevalent and the tomato juice was spicy without being overly reliant on horseradish. The jalapeño infused bacon had the sweet smokiness of bacon accompanied by a nice jalapeño kick, but what I appreciated most about the bacon was that it was folded in half, leaving the majority of the bacon outside of the tomato juice to prevent any sogginess a brilliant move not always taken. Upon first sip, it was evident that some diligent effort had been taken in constructing this bloody. The presentation alone showed that this was going to be a serious drink. It was even served with a slice of some quite tasty toast. Tomato? Check for both the juice and the garnish. Now to the “meat” of the matter: the bloody mary! I have enjoyed a few BLT bloodys in my time but, you guys! this was like literally a BLT (please forgive my valley girl language, but I was just like totally excited for this drink). Consider my belly busted by the end of the meal. Unfortunately, the fried chicken was somewhat lacking in seasoning, in my opinion, but all in all, a good time was had by all (me, my mouth and my belly). The bacon waffles with maple reduction were wonderful. It was literally a bacon waffle fried chicken Tower of Babel with a rosemary stalk reaching out to the brunch gods. That’s right, bacon cooked INTO the waffle. This special item was the Sage Fried Chicken and Waffles with a maple reduction, fried leeks and bacon cooked into the waffle.
I promptly stopped reading, set my menu down, took a deep breath and waited impatiently to order. As I scrolled down the menu, my eyes locked onto one particular item. After being seated at the bar with The Drunken Tomato, I started to peruse the large menu, full of what looked to be a quite diverse and appealing list of entree options. This small chain restaurant prides itself on utilizing their “experience with farm fresh agriculture, livestock, and old recipes with a twist.” And it’s the perfect stop for an all American brunch. Using that as my working definition, I couldn't find a brunch more fitting, patriotic or American than the brunch at Hash House A Go Go. A truly American brunch consists of large portions of food often served with a liquid “appetizer” (sometimes a mimosa, but in my case, the bloody mary). One of my favorite aspects of the American food culture is brunch. Of course it’s appropriate to think about things like freedom, fireworks and Will Smith, but what we really embrace on the 4 th of July is eating and drinking. As the 4 th of July approaches, it seems fitting to reflect on the traditions of this country and its people.
