[MUSIC PLAYING - JADED, "PANCAKE"]
Welcome to the channel "We Are Sorted," a group of friends
in London looking for those amazing things in food
that make you go (WHISPERING) wow!
Between stitching each other up and innuendos.
[CHUCKLING]
Now be warned, we have two chefs.
But we give them limited air time.
And we make sure all of our ideas
start with the a suggestion from you.
(SINGING) I'm gooey in the middle, baby, let me bake.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Hello!
My name's Ben, and this is Barry.
Welcome!
And if you're new to this channel then please make sure
you have a look around.
That comes with a warning.
This will make you hungry.
Yeah, as will this transatlantic feast.
Get your Like buttons ready.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
I've got this one in the bag, literally.
Call it off.
Mate, I've done it.
This is it.
This is LA's best breakfast burrito.
Today, we're not in our studio, as you can probably tell.
This is a much nicer.
This is much nicer, much more professional.
We've been joined by Eric, Tori, and Tom from the React channel.
And today we are finding out and answering
the age old question, what is LA's best breakfast burrito?
We've been traveling around North Hollywood and Pasadena
to try and find the best burrito's they have to offer.
And I've got three contenders in front of us.
You know how this works.
Eric has made his pick.
I've made my pick.
And Barry's made his pick.
We're going to taste them.
We're going to compare them.
We're going to have a lot of arguments.
And Tori and Tom are going to join us--
Judges!
--in deciding what we think LA's best breakfast burrito is.
[DING]
Now up first and leading the way.
Barry, show us what you got.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
So my choice, we are in North Hollywood.
And if you're in the area or traveling through
and you're running on empty, this
is the place to go for an amazing breakfast
burrito and some petrol.
Now, before you judge me, this place
has made it on to some pretty prestigious lists
and its burritos are to die for.
I'm getting beef, beef chorizo and shrimp
with all the trimmings.
All the articles I read said you have
to go for a surf and turf option of the breakfast burrito.
[INAUDIBLE]
It's a bit more expensive, but I think that's just
the meal to win this challenge.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
I've got this one in the bag, literally.
Oh.
Check out--
Nice slice.
--that cross-section.
Oh.
Tight.
Yeah.
It smells phenomenal.
Wow.
I've got a beef and chorizo filling with, now wait for it,
I added shrimp for breakfast because everyone tells me
I have to do that for--
What?
Wait, you got gas station shrimp?
[LAUGHING]
Did you just go up to the counter
and ask for stomach flu?
Please.
This is not helping me.
Cheers!
To burritos.
We're going to have to share burrito.
Mhm.
I'm getting a sauce, I don't know what the sauce is.
Ranch.
It was chipotle ranch.
Can I tell you what I'm not getting?
Go on.
Breakfast.
[INAUDIBLE]
That-- that's a burrito.
That's not a breakfast burrito.
That is an interesting point.
I still-- I'm--
I like it.
I'm with you.
I taste the egg.
I taste the chorizo.
See, I also like, feel like certain foods are reserved
for different times of the day.
So I don't know if I like shrimp in my breakfast.
Breakfast burrito.
I would agree.
The thing that I find really funny
is the shrimp wasn't in there before you
asked for it to be in there.
Yeah.
[LAUGHTER]
A brunch burrito.
Excellent.
And when we film LA's best brunch burrito,
we'll maybe add this into the-- into the mix.
Do you want to bring it on in?
I would love to.
I'm going to put this burrito down.
Guys, do you know who the real lucky boys are?
It's us because we get Lucky Boy's Burrito's today.
By the way, I've heard about these.
Everywhere you are, people are talking about this place.
They are pretty delightful.
I'd also like to point out this wasn't
even on the original menu.
They added it later on because so many people
were making their own breakfast burritos
out of the ingredients the had.
This was a request by the people, for the people.
They listen to the people.
I-- I appreciate that.
Lucky Boy is in Pasadena, which is a cultural hub--
[LAUGHTER]
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
Pasadena's great but calling it a cultural hub?
Once again, we're tourists--
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
They lie to you.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
So bad.
Mmm.
I think this is like a classic breakfast burrito.
You really can't taste the shrimp.
You know what I like is the bacon is so crispy.
Hey, it tastes-- there's so much texture there.
Usually it kind of clumps together, but that is epic.
Mm!
It's funny the-- the, uh--
what you can get when you don't go to a gas station.
[LAUGHTER]
I'm like torn between the one that's different and creative,
but then the classic.
But it's still a breakfast burrito.
This is the most breakfast-y burrito.
So far the most breakfasty, yeah.
But dare I say it?
It's lovely, but it's a little bit boring.
How dare you!
It's predictable.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
I would like a sauce on it or something like that.
Like a hot sauce--
Yeah, salsa, anything.
It is-- oh my goodness.
This is the box.
I don't want to do Eric's show for him,
but this was in the box.
No, please.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
We were suppose to try it together then.
What's it adding?
Oh, it's like, a little bit spice.
It has a little bit of a kick.
I like that.
It adds more taste to it too.
I think that's what makes it feel less boring.
Yeah.
It's a French taste.
I'll have a sip.
Like a wine tasting.
Oh, that's nice.
So far, really strong, very close battle.
Yeah.
I would say.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
For my choice, I've come to Burbank to Corner Cottage.
[CAMERA CLICKING]
Yeah I know what you're thinking.
Is this really the home of LA's best breakfast burrito?
Well, every list that I could lay my hands on,
LAist, Thrillist, Eater, Time Out, every single one of them
has this place on its list.
Doesn't get any better as soon as you walk in, does it?
But I've got my trust in every review
I've ever read on this place.
It's not unusual to have to queue for 45 minutes
to get your hands on one of their breakfast burritos,
particularly on the weekend when the queue is
the around the block.
And they only serve them until 11:00 AM,
so at 10:30, this place is absolutely pumping.
We're here at 7:00 on a normal Wednesday morning,
and it's still packed full of people.
It's amazing.
Yes!
Call it off.
Mate, I've done it.
This is it.
This is LA's best breakfast burrito.
I don't even have to taste it.
I've been here, I've smelt it, I've seen what they're doing.
No competition.
What you're seeing here is egg, steak, obviously, hash browns,
there's cheese.
And also, I asked for the hot sauce,
which is their speciality, the thing that everyone
says is so great, to be inside the burrito
rather than on the side.
A lot of potato before I've eaten into it.
Mm!
I was going to say the opposite.
I think that the proportions, just looking at it,
they had it all just perfectly-- that everything
was pretty equal.
But I don't know.
Ooh, right off the bat, I taste that hot sauce.
See, I'm going to bring back the original point.
Is steak really breakfast?
Steak and eggs.
Yeah, I will say this one too, this one has peppers in it too
and other little fresher ingredients
that I really appreciate.
This is a contender.
It's a contender.
It really is good.
I'm really torn now between all three of the options though.
Because I feel like they were all different,
but they were under the category of breakfast burrito
that I don't know where I fall.
Well, there is one other way that we
can help make our decision.
Money.
Let's guess how much we think Barry's gas station--
Now bare in mind--
Burrito--
Bare in mind, I've also got some chips
with mine and a free drink.
Oh!
But was it free if it's included in the total, though?
You tell me.
I would like the price to be $9.
I feel like just under $10 just because with chips,
a drink and the burrito.
And it's not that complicated.
So, $9 I think is good.
I say-- I'm going to say $10.18 after tax.
I think it's over $11.
With the shrimp?
All right, I don't want to guess.
It's fine.
All right, fine, guys.
[LAUGHTER]
I'm going to say $9.
OK.
With the shrimp and all the extras, it was $9.70.
Oooh!
Hey!
Without the shrimp, it's $6.75.
What?
I would not trust that burrito.
Eric's Lucky Boy burrito.
Sorry, re-directing.
This one that it definitely had the least
amount of ingredients.
It was just eggs, bacon, potato.
So I want to say $5 is what I would pay for that.
What?
$5!
It's basic.
Tom, what do you reckon?
I'm going to say like $11.25.
Whoa.
Yeah, I'm saying it's expensive.
Got that bougie burrito.
So, I'm going to go in the middle and say $8.00.
I think $8.00 is probably about right.
Can you really put a price on happiness?
Yeah, how much is it?
You can, it's $7.99.
Oh!
That's way cheaper than I thought it was going to be.
Well, should we come on to the steak special?
How much do you reckon I paid for it?
I think that's one was the most complicated of the burritos.
I'm going to say $11.30.
$6.50.
I'm going to say $7.74.
I'm going to say $7.73.
Dang it!
Oh, small.
Price is Right.
Yeah.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
I got higher then, fine.
I'm OK.
I'm happy to tell you that the steak breakfast burrito from
Corner Cottage cost me a total of $6.10.
Wow!
Cheaper than the gas station one.
What?
With steak.
Without the steak, if I'd gone for ham or sausage,
it was like $5.50.
The winner, of my choice, my palate,
I'm going to have to go with the steak one.
Steak one.
I'm sorry.
It was cheaper than every burrito.
And I feel like the flavor was comparable.
Personally, I went for my choice because I love shrimp,
and I love, avocado and I love brunch burritos.
So I'm sticking with my brunch burrito.
Brunch Burrito.
I have to.
No question in my book.
Steak breakfast burrito is the winner.
See, I'm not picking mine because it's mine.
I'm picking mine because mine is the winner.
[DING]
So it literally comes down to me and Tori again.
OK.
Come on Tori.
Will it end in a tie?
Honestly, I have to give it to the steak burrito.
Yes!
I was great!
All of them were good, but I just
think that steak burrito had the most to offer.
I agree.
And now there is really, really, really good chance
that we missed some amazing breakfast burritos--
In ever chance.
In every county in LA other than Burbank or Pasadena or West
Hollywood.
Please comment down below.
Let us know which ones have we missed,
what would have been your pick out of these three.
Guys, thank you very much.
