mmm-yoso!!!, an old fashioned food blog. Kirk is not writing today because He and His Missus are enjoying some free time, while Cathy has some free time to write.
It has been more than six years since the last post about this mainstay (more than 35 years) restaurant in Escondido. Golden Egg survived the the shutdowns and is still going strong. The whiteboard of specials is still at the front door.
The menus of omelets (and other breakfast choices), lunch choices and baked potato casserole choices remain the same (other than, of course, prices).
It was lunch time and I was pretty sure what I would order- avocado stuffed with tuna salad ($13.69). (The menu choices are a tomato or an avocado stuffed with tuna or shrimp salad). This very large meal is a mini smorgasbord! Large scoops of a tasty (mostly) tuna salad inside avocado halves atop mixed greens with artichoke hearts, tomato, pickles, cucumber and cheese. A large slice of grilled bread and salad dressing are served on the side. Yes, there were leftovers- enough for another meal.
The Reuben ($13.79) is served on a great seeded rye (grilled) and is quite overfilled with a quality corned beef, plenty of sauerkraut and Swiss. It comes with side choices of fries or salad or soup. The soups are made here. The choice for that day was a creamy broccoli chicken. It was decadent-the old fashioned flavor of Vegeta, a condiment (primarily salt with dehydrated vegetables (carrot, parsley, onions, celery and parsnip)) I grew up enjoying in my Polish home.
Golden Omelet is crowded early on weekends, which is good to see. Always quality, fresh made food and friendly service.

Such a nice down home kind of place. Those were huge scoops of tuna! My husband would really like that Reuben.

Golden Egg is a wonderful place for breakfast and lunch, cc. I really enjoy an old fashioned stuffed tomato and do order it whenever I see it on a menu-the presentation here is wonderful. The reuben was great.
