About Hash House a Go-Go

Chicken Benedict

If one thing dominates American diets, it’s large dishes that challenge the stomachs of those who dare eat it all. The famous 72-ounce steak challenge has claimed many a victor [and victim!], but the one challenge that not everyone has heard about is the excellent Chicken Benedict.

Created by the San Diego-based Hash House a Go-Go, you can only pick up a genuine Chicken Benedict in Reno, Las Vegas, Orlando, Chicago, or Connecticut as well. If you’re not close to a Hash House a Go-Go, the trip to get to one is well worth the effort.

Eating Chicken Benedict is like having breakfast on steroids. It starts with homemade biscuits that make up the foundation of the dish.

On top of the biscuits is an incredible garlic mash that is rustic and sophisticated. And on top of that, you have some bacon. The sweetest food to taste in the restaurant is the incredible sage fried chicken. The sweetness of cornflakes livens up the batter, and to top it all off. You’ve got a chipotle cream sauce.

There’s also some salad tucked in there somewhere to get rid of some of your guilt. A sprig of rosemary and some toasted pasta juts out from the top of the dish, which adds some dramatics to the presentation. Plus, the fried chicken and scrambled eggs crown it all.

If you’ve ever imagined heaven on a plate, this really would be it. The restaurant serves lunch and dinner, offering a menu full of mouthwatering twisted farm food.
