On this day, my husband and I chose to follow yet again in Adam Richman's (of Man Vs. Food fame) footsteps and try out Hash House A Go Go in Las Vegas.
While we generally are healthy eaters and work out regularly, we do like our wacky indulgences as well, so when we saw the crazy-size portions of "twisted farm food" Hash House A Go Go Las Vegas dishes out, we decide to make a dunch (combo lunch and dinner) out of it.
The restaurant's atmosphere is loud and noisy and a bit funky, but you don't go to Hash House A Go Go for that, you go for a Snickers flapjack (as featured in the photo) and a huge farm scramble. As our server explained, the Snickers pancake or Snickers flapjack, is a traditional flapjack with a Snickers candy bar crumbled on top and baked in. It's beyond huge, taking up residence on a giant oval plate. If Hash House A Go Go was serving pizza, it would be this big!
This is not for those of you on a low-carb diet! And you will be taking at least half of this Snickers pancake home (so breakfast the next day is handled) despite the fact it tastes so good you don't really want to put your fork down.
As an egg lover (usually egg whites, of Eggbeaters, but I do usually indulge in real eggs out), my eye went to the farm scrambles (you can see a peek of it in the top of the photo as well). I was a little disappointed that my server said I couldn't substitute spinach for the mushrooms in what was otherwise a very appealing ground turkey, broccoli combo because "the cooks get funny about changing around their recipes." I was even willing to pay for the substitution--no dice, this is not Burger King where you get it your way, but the food is in a totally different class, so you have to deal with it.
So I ended up with the scrambled egg, broccoli and ground turkey (which I never had before in eggs), and a side of grilled mashed potatoes. Really yummy--in fact, I'm now trying to figure out how to recreate this dish so I can make it at home more often with some slightly healthier substitutions, because I'm hooked.
A worthwhile outing? Definitely! And you can choose from the Hash House A Go Go Sahara and Rainbow location we went to, or the Imperial Palace if you're visiting and staying on The Las Vegas Strip.
