Some say, "There is just to much bacon and cheese", and I Say Nay! The artisans at Lucky Boy make a perfectly balanced burrito. When it comes to size this thing is a 9.0 on the richter scale, a gut bomb I tells ya. Lucky Boy is located at 640 South Arroyo Boulevard
Pasadena, CA (626) 793-0120 They even have a web site WWW.luckyboyburgers.com 
This monster is my number 1 favorite breakfast burrito of all time, I am talking crawling over broken glass good. Morning, noon or night; it's never a bad time to be a Lucky Boy!

LAST OF THE HOMEMADES

It gets so hot during the summer in the valley that I am forced to turn of the oven in our apartment so as to help keep it at least a little cooler. So sadly this was the one, the last of the indoor homemade breakfast burritos. It saddens me each time I walk past her and know it's only cold frosted wheat for a few months. We had a good run this year, with the birth of the blog and my rekindled love for all things wrapped in a tortilla , I can only hope others out there can lend their support in this dark, hot as hell time of need....

EAT




Eat in NoHo, is your typical Nuevo-trendy, just out of culinary school and don’t have the money to open up a real restaurant type of joint. And that’s what is great about it. Real good food at real good prices, not to mention, the wait staff is far more into the smiths than I am. The food here is that of what you might find in an upscale Santa Monica cafĂ©. But to make it even better, I have fallen in love with my future Ex-wife. Her name, The Pepper Plant garlic hot sauce. This stuff is so good I want to freeze it in the wintertime and ice skate on it, only to thaw it in the spring and bathe in it. This stuff has changed my life. It has made love to my taste buds. Check EAT out the next time you want to have your mind blown.

EAT 'N PARK






Not only the best omelettes in Burbank, but they also have one of the best breakfast burritos as well. I got the old fashion breakfast burrito that consisted of chopped bacon(yes chopped, done for proper bacon egg distribution ratio), egg, hash browns and salsa. But the big kicker is that they also can make any omelette into a burrito, IE. The Hobo, The Sheep Herder and The Crazy can all become a signature Eat 'n Park burrito. OK pricing, a little high but good clean (for a B rating) atmosphere and fast, friendly service. Down sides, their only open until 2pm and it gets crowded.
Check em out 2517 West Victory Blvd Burbank, Ca.

Troy


Aside from one experience when I witnessed a man lick a ketchup bottle here, Troy has provided me with some fantastic experiences over the years. The employees are friendly and the interior is fly free (thanks to the only indoor bug zapper I have ever seen).



I ordered the sausages breakfast burrito and was not disappointed. The (hash browns) to (rest of ingredients) ratio seemed a little high to me, but the hash browns themselves were cooked perfectly. A solid B+ for this one.

Troy is located at 6705 Foothill Blvd. in Tujunga (91042).

CORNER COTTAGE

I lived my college life solely on top ramen and this place. I am not sure if my opinion is base on fact or on an emotional attachment, but this place has one of the best breakfast burritos around. Simplicity is in vogue and the cottage is doing it; egg, hash brown, bacon and cheese. Top it off with their super hot homemade hot-sauce and a large coffee, you will not have to eat till diner.
If you have ever been to corner cottage you know that the click clacking of the spatula on the grill can make you salivate like Pavlov's dog. Closed on Sunday, and a mad house any other day of the week, get there early and be ready to stand in line. It's worth it.

THE ROBERGRITO

Contrary to popular belief, the Robergrito was actually named after Senor Estaban Roberg Esquire, who lived on an island off of the Costa Rican coast. During Senor Roberg’s life he came up with a captivating dish known as gallo pinto, this breakfast burrito shows his influence. Two eggs over easy, carnitas or bacon, beans, cheese, sour cream and fire roasted garlic salsa. Take note, the next time your in the mood for gallo pinto in the morning, just wrap it up in a tortilla and call it a breakfast Robergrito.
