Readers: if you haven’t already been to a Hash House a go go location you MUST go! Hash House has a breakfast unlike anything I’ve ever had before and their presentation is outstanding! Typically one pancake wouldn’t sound like enough for one person, but at Hash House the pancakes are as big as the plate – if not bigger! You can easily get two meals out of one order.
During the end of summer, a few friends and I reserved a table (your entire party must be present in order to be seated) at Hash House for a brunch get together. Savory breakfast or brunch is usually my go to order; however, I went out on a limb this time and ordered the French Toast. The french toast was served on thick bread with a hint of banana and the perfect crunch on top. Thanks to Hash House – I’ve got a new recipe in mind!
