The art of the breakfast sandwich

If you lived in ABQ in the 90s, you've had a hamburger from Rex's. What you might not know is that Albuquerque's favorite hamburger joint that mysteriously disappeared is back... well, kind of. Busbster's (San Pedro and Montgomery) is the new restaurant from the former owners of Rex's. The menu is exactly the same and they even kept a lot of the decorations from the old restaurant. The burgers are amazing, but a lot of people don't realize that they serve breakfast too (when I went to pick up my order this morning, I was the only person in the whole place).

Rebecca and I are both huge fans of their Texas Sandwich. It's your choice of ham, sausage or bacon (Bec prefers the sausage and I prefer the ham), cheddar cheese, green chili and an egg that's not quite over easy, not quite scrambled. It's more like they just throw the egg on the skillet, breaking the yolk and let it cook that way, creating a marbled masterpiece of white and yolk. All of this is served on two slices of buttery Texas toast. There's definitely an art to making a great breakfast sandwich. You can go anywhere and find these same components in a different version of the same sandwich, but very rarely do they come together as perfectly as the do in the Texas Sandwich from Bubsters'.
