After geeking out for a second on twitter, ordering up some much needed warming to the soul Intelligentsia coffee & taking panorama pictures with my iPhone, we finally checked out the menu. Um. YUM. With options like grilled pb&j and brisket & mac n' cheese sandwiches how was I ever going to decide?
Why, ask the waiter of course!
And considering I had my better half in tow, in which eating off his plate is a requirement of dating me, we could try both the breakfast & lunch. He decided to go with the hash. corned beef, sweet potato, poached eggs, toast. Simple enough. Extremely well seasoned, he likened the dish to a "culinary masterpiece made by a cowboy."
As for me, drenched & cold, I couldn't pass up roasted tomato soup oven dried tomatoes, fresh basil. I went for the soup & half a sandwich combo, since sandwiches are half their namesake. The waiter told me his favorite was the pulled chicken arugula, pickled onions, garlic aioli, chevre, pretzel roll. Sold! The soup had a nice fresh flavor & chunks of sweet tomato and the sandwich was light and filling. I certainly finished feeling satisfied and content.
Wait. I lied. How could I finish this meal without a pie?
Being an avid lover of all things cupcakery, I do have to say, I'm slightly torn on the pie vs cake debate. While cupcakes offer the supremely wide variety of decorating possibilities, pies reign supreme in their simplicity. Would I take a bacon jam cupcake anytime... yes! But would I choose a simple chocolate cupcake over a chocolate chip pie? Absolutely not. It's the combination of simple & well made flavors, with a crumbly crust that make these pies an absolute delight!
Also, with flavors like Banoffee (could it be banana & coffee OR banana & toffee?), French Silk & Missouri Mud a couple of "cutie pies" were certainly in the cards.
In case you were curious, Banoffee was banana & toffee (WITH A HEAVY HAND OF CARAMEL.) Gods gift to aspiring diabetics. We also had to go with an orange creamsicle, with what shockingly was not a candied orange rind on top. Niki's theory of let's try everything on the plate was not pleasantly surprised.
All in all, this is a great new brunch spot to add into my weekend rotation. Yay for simplethings!
