The unmistakable aroma of bacon wafted in the air as we were finishing up the last leg of one of my bike rides with the lads. That's coming from Lucky Boys, proclaimed one of my fellow roadies; their breakfast burritos are da bomb! After putting away my machine, I headed back to this mystical place to partake of my first of many Lucky Boys breakfast burritos.
Those burritos became a standard apres-velo meal after hours in the saddle. Thenone fateful day one of my daughters thoughtfully sent me an email containing coordinates for nearly 40 more renowned breakfast burrito eateries all over the Los Angeles area. A quest was born! With 6 out of 36 locations checked off my list, plus 2 additional locations I stumbled upon, I was thinking maybe I can pull this off in my lifetime, when one of my other loving daughters sent me a list of over 20 more locations to add to my quest!
Several friends, knowing of my quest said that I would be remiss if I did not share the fruits of my journey.
So I shall attempt to share my impressions and experiences in the weeks and months to come....

Art's Deli and Meat Market in Glendale's Kenneth Village. Although not on either of my lists, Art's has become one of my favorite stops for BB's. They are made to order with either bacon or sausage with all the usual filling options. The salsa is tasty as well and the crew are friendly and they make you feel at home...
