I am trying to be mindful of eating. I am trying to lose pounds, gain confidence, and see how I look when my habits and choices reflect a consistent health journey. But it is hard. Especially, when I do not pack my usual healthy breakfast or in others words, when I do not meal prep. Most fast food places, at least that I have encountered, offer hash browns, and sandwiches, with processed meat and eggs that are made from a yellow liquid as opposed to cracked eggs. I have not verified this, it is just my intuition speaking.
Yesterday, I did not pack breakfast and I refused to pivot away from my diet by choosing a fast food joint. I turned to uber eats, and scrolled through places and discovered a Buy one Get one (BOGO) offer. Then i scrolled this places offerings. I saw their Brioche Breakfast Sandwich and it looked tempting. But my desire to eat good food wrestled with my desire to keep my healthy habits on float. The sandwiches were bacon brioche, Fried chicken Brioche, Sausage Brioche and Avocado Brioche (vegetarian). The Vegetarian option seem like an indulgence that I could accommodate, and I allowed myself to believe that it would not break my diet, so harshly that it could be called Humpty Dumpty, you know that it could not pull itself back together again.
The breakfast sandwich came, and it had a partner in arrival. I decided to offer the treat to a colleague, who will call A. Cause one sandwich would meet my diet, two would be a splurge that my goals could not afford. I offered the sandwich to a colleague that is always a pleasure to interact with. He is kind, in a gentle giant kind of way. The type of colleague you do not interact with much, but when you do, you kind of get reminded that people work at places, not that professional work at jobs, if that makes sense. Thus, I offered him a sandwich that I delivered to him, without a car, and he accepted.
I had the sandwich and it was an airy delight. If you need a comparison to anchor your expectations imagine the brioche sandwich from EggSlut or Le Petit Quoitidian. The Bruxie sandwich was a pleasure to absorb. The bun was light, and airy, the egg, well-cooked and the avocado was fresh tasting, like morning dew in a mossy area. The best part of the sandwich is a competition between the bun and the avocado. The avocado was so clean in taste, that its impact was felt. The brioche, bun was a French kiss on my palette. But as I wrote this I decided to give the W to the avocado. Still the avocado would be a lonesome treat, if I did not pair it with the bread. The bread, wether
you believe it or not, made the avocado a sandwich, alongside the egg.
When I asked A. what he thought about the sandwich he simply said the sandwich was "good" and remarked surprise at the fact that the sandwich had "half an avocado." So there you go, I recommend the sandwich because of its airy quality that makes you felt like you ate nothing but joyous air. And if you are a quantity type person, then you will get half an avocado, so it will make you feel like you spend money on something that was worth its heft. And A. is right, there was a lot of avocado. If you notice the picture I put on this yelp, there is some avocado on the side of the bag. That does not happen by accident, it only happens, when there is surplus to spill.
I also enjoyed the chicken pictured in the bag cause its body looks likfe a waffle. So this is a picture that reminds us that waffles and fried chicken are a pair that belongs together like mustard and watermelon. They may seem mismatched but the combo works. read more
