Friday July 17th (breakfast [with Mom and Dad]): I ordered the Huevos Rancheros (per usual) with spicy chorizo at The Good Egg. I was almost tempted to order the Cinnamon Apple Crunch Crepes, but I gave up and got what I always do. I first ordered Huevos Rancheros at TGE because of the reference to it in Rob's poem "A Fine Mist" - a fistful of huevos rancheros. I didn't necessarily expect to like it so much. I always order the eggs scrambled and then make my little tortillas into an enchillada shaped thingy before stuffing it in my mouth. Then I just eat the leftovers by themselves. Today, the chorizo seemed much spicier than it has been past times I've ordered this.
i love me some chorizo. "huevos rancheros" as a menu item scared and mystified me until my early 20s. now i too am a devotee of the ranchy egg.
ReplyDeleteI like The Good Egg because it's like being in Noe Valley, except you're in Phoenix.
ReplyDeleteIs it possible to get a fried egg on this dish? Apart from taking Leonean inspiration from huevos rancheros, I've always avoided them because I've assumed that they come with a more omlettey or scrambled-egg consistency of eggs, which I finally resigned myself to disliking in my 30s. But I would like them if I could get them with a fried egg or two. Please advise.
Yes - they always ask how you'd like your eggs, but I've been afraid of putting a fried egg with a runny yolk in the middle of my tortilla! But I suppose I could puncture it and mix it up first.... yes, I think I'll have to try that
