When I booked my trip to Las Vegas, I feared the food selection. “Buffet” seemed to be the word on the strip. Personally, I am not one for the buffet experience, especially when I travel. I prefer a unique dining environment, one with a story or two. Lucky for me, I hit the jackpot at Hash House a Go Go.
My friends and I arrived for breakfast before tending to our tourist duties. Anywhere with a name like Hash House a Go Go is worth an investigation (I am either a victim of marketing or a supporter of creative ideas; I prefer to believe the latter).
Try the House Mimosa, a yummy twist on a traditional morning cocktail (tangerine and champagne anyone?). Ordering a meal was not as easy. It sounds crazy, I know. How can breakfast be a challenge? The morning staples of eggs, pancakes, waffles and bacon can’t transcend too far out of the ordinary. Well friends, they can. The chefs “a Go Go” far beyond conventional preparation.
I finally decided on the Smoked Salmon House Hash. I am also into themes (again, I believe this is an artistic choice, not an advertising injury). Whatever the reason, it was not in vain because the dish did not disappoint. In fact, I do not remember eating breakfast with such enthusiasm ever. Despite my satisfaction, there was a more exciting plate on the table.
My friend, Katie, ordered Fried Chicken and Waffles. She took the cake (not that she needed to after that) for the most impressive dish! The waffles (stuffed with bacon!) and chicken were stacked as high as the hotels on Las Vegas Blvd.! We dared Katie to clean her plate with immature intent. Once she was half way done, she decided the waffles were a little dry. Considering the bacon grease stuffed inside, I don’t really know how this was possible. Nevertheless, adding more syrup solved the problem. Katie left the building as a breakfast rock star!
Hash House a Go Gois located a few miles off Las Vegas Boulevard. and far away from the portion police. It has been a feature destination on various Food Network programs and has won numerous awards. Everything from the rustic décor to the decadent dishes is sure to impress. So next time you are in town, “a Go Go!”
