| - When you walk into a place trying this hard not to look corporate, it inevitably comes off in a creepy way. When you know that the place used to be a breakfast fixture in Atlanta known for it's organic, vegetarian-friendly, comfy, yet artful takes on breakfast and lunch, and has since had it's aesthetic, menu, and "feel" appropriated and mass produced, its difficult to enjoy it. For me, anyway. Despite the awesome tomatillo salsa and black bean cakes smothered in Queso Fresco. Even though we had a great waitress. This style of food is being purveyed by a number of places in Charlotte, often less expensively, by culinary entrepreneurs, so I guess my question is, why go to a chain?
