| - Continuing our losing streak, we had a disappointing brunch at the Tin Front Cafe. Now, I know that Pittsburgh can do vegetarian, having gone to Quiet Storm a couple years back. Alas, they have gone to the great carrot juicer in the sky, so we decided to check out Tin Front for a Sunday brunch. I will say this: their baked goods are more than reasonable, but you don't go out to brunch for the cookies.
I got the mushroom gorgonzola omelette and Heather and got the apple-brie French toast. The omelette was a lumpy affair of huge blue cheese pieces and a couple slices of mushroom. I took out some of the cheese chunks and put them on top of the salad, which otherwise consisted of limp mixed greens with cranberries and shaved carrots. I tried to round it out with the chili, but that was just too tomato-y.
The homefries were cayenne-spicy without having much flavor, and the coffee was weak. The French toast, made (bafflingly) from baguette, had not been in egg very long, and therefore trended closer to plain old toast.
The bloody mary was good with the house-infused horseradish vodka, but it did not justify the trip. I appreciate that there is a certain intrinsic value to a vegetarian restaurant, but this one didn't do it for us.
