This weeks visit: The Break
You will usually hear one of two things about bar food; it's either really good, or there is a reason you need to be drunk to enjoy it. We decided to tackle The Break (located in the strip mall location in daybreak) to taste of it's cuisine. One of their signature food items is their Mac 'n Cheese, which can be modified to include bacon, chicken, or anything your heart may fancy. Four of us got variations of the Mac 'n Cheese and we got the Bleu Cheese Burger and the French Dip Sandwich as well. We also enjoyed the Green Chili Verde Nachos as an appetizer, and Matt is going to start us off with his experience first.
Matt Baugh:
The Chicken Chili Verde Nachos:
The Chili Verde Nachos at the break are quite delicious. The Nachos are covered with cheese with jalapenos, diced tomatoes and black olives, and on this same plate is a squarish bowl with the shredded chicken chili verde. You can dip them in it, pour it over the nachos and if wanted to just save some of the chicken verde left over it would go great in a quesadilla. Like I said this is some of the best chili verde I have had yet; there are even some places up on the slopes where you can get some, but this has been a really good treat here.
The Bacon and Bleu Cheese Burger:
I got the Bacon and Bleu Cheese burger, which comes highly recommended by all the staff here. It's very meaty, but I obviously get it without herb-mayo, because mayonnaise is gross--don't eat mayonnaise, it's gross. They actually do the bleu cheese crumbles melted on the burger--not many places melt the bleu cheese crumbles on the burger. The bacon is crisp, a nice thick-cut. Yup, it's a great burger and it's for $8.50, it's a good deal.

The Mac 'n Cheese:
I just got chicken with mine, and let me tell you the taste was quite strong at first, not sure what kind of cheeses they used in it, but one or two were quite pungent. The strong flavor was a little off-putting at first, but it kind of grew on you. I feel that people that enjoy blue cheese and strong cheeses in general would probably find this macaroni 'n cheese quite delicious. As for me? I wasn't disappointed.
What Jules, Colby and Kayrene have to say about it:
Jules: It's really good, obviously homemade; it has a nice creamy sauce.
Colby: It's good, it's good.
And Finally Kevin Newsome:
The French Dip Sandwich:
It does not come highly recommended by the staff (like the Bacon Bleu cheese burger). It's very plain, and there is nothing really special about it. You could probably find something just as good at Arby's.
There you have it, The Break was a decent dinning experience, we had a helpful waitress, and they have some games of poker going on, as well as a couple of pool tables on the upper floor. It was a great place to visit and try some new foods, but overall we would probably have to give it 3 1/2 tacos out of 5.
