| - I wish Switch wasn't so far away. I went in totally blind on a recommendation from a person on reddit, and I am SO glad I chose this place to try.
I work on weekends but had one Sunday free, and since brunch is my favorite meal, I knew I had to try it somewhere in Phoenix. Why this place wasn't absolutely slammed for 'weekend breakfast', as they call it, I have no idea. $4 bloody mary and cape cod carafes, as well as screwdriver and mimosa carafes. I also learned that my go-to drink (vodka cranberry) is also referred to as a Cape Cod. Thanks, Switch!
Our server, Kai (taking liberties with the spelling) was the BEST. He answered all of our questions capably and was really sweet. The food came out swiftly and he checked on us just enough without hovering.
Okay, on to the food. The bloodies were delicious, served with all the requisite greenery (lime, celery stalk, olive). I love the idea of carafes. I've spent up to $9 on worse bloodies in INDIVIDUAL glasses.
My boyfriend got the special for that weekend, which was a Maple Bacon Pecan Sticky Bun. I had to capitalize it because OMG. I took a bite and it was perfect. Warm and bacony and mapley, and not too sweet. He gobbled up every bite. I ordered the fried bologna sandwich, sans tomato. It comes on texas toast, with housemade aioli, mayo's fancy cousin. It also came with a side of perfect potatoes. I asked for them to be made without onions and they obliged, and they were delicious. A good fried bologna is on the opposite end of the spectrum as the oscar meyer stuff. And this was the best. I ate up everything on my plate.
I can't wait to try out their regular menu. If I didn't work every weekend I would be here as many weekends as possible.
