Stacks: Chorizo Scram

Submitted by Kira on Sunday, 7 December 20084 Comments

Stacks was my post-photoshoot breakfast stop on Saturday. I’ve been going to Stacks for the past year or so and I have to say that the food quality has gone completely downhill. I don’t know what’s going on there, but something is not right.

I got there around 10:30am and although there were alot of people waiting, it wasn’t nearly as busy as I had remembered or experienced before. When we got seated, I decided to go with a Stack’s repeat – the Chorizo Scram. Basically it is an egg scramble with chorizo, onions and olives, topped with cheese and served with salsa, guacamole and sour cream. It also comes with some home fries and a buttered bagel. The homefries are underneath the bagel and they are the shredded kind.

Here’s a closeup of the scram itself. The potatoes were bland and way too peppery and needed butter BAD (and also to be cooked a little more)… sorry I forgot to take a separate photo. The bagel was sourdough flavor which was good, but there wasn’t enough butter on it. The eggs were just OK… I think the strong olive taste kills the salty spicy chorizo flavor and it just didn’t have that WOW factor that I had remembered.

Bleehh.. brunch really didn’t satisfy me like I was hoping.
