| - Saturday 11:30 AM nothing seemed to be calling to us.....then we smelled meat.....we weren't sure where it was coming from but, in true carnivore fashion, I started following the smell......
When we got to the corner of Boston and Arizona, we lost the scent....
We crossed over, hoping to find it but it was gone.....but we found ourselves in front of Brunchies. Not being familiar with it but always a sucker for a good indie restaurant, we just had to go in. I think we got the last two seats in the place so I thought - it can't be bad.
And, my instincts were right-on! What a gem we found in Brunchies!
First and foremost, the coffee. Good and hot! Nothing makes a meal forgettable like lousy or lukewarm coffee. This was hot and the waitress kept the cups refilled to the point where I think we were floating out the door.
Now, the food.
I ordered the Multi-grain combo, which is 3 multigrain cakes with almonds and walnuts, an egg, and meat. I hate places that force me into potatoes or toast along with the cakes - seriously, why carbo load?? And these pancakes - well, if you told me they had pixie dust in them, I would not be surprised because they were simply magically awesome cakes, They were so full of nuts and flavor - I truly can say of all of the multi-grain cakes I have had anywhere, these were hands-down the best. I had a sunnyside egg which was cooked nicely and not overdone. And the bacon was fairly crispy. All in all, a great breakfast!
DH ordered the Chorizo skillet. Now, DH is not a small fellow and it takes alot for him to admit defeat, but that skillet did him in. It was a wonderful combo of sausage, eggs, potatoes, cheese, chilis, and onions. The flavors were great and he said the Chorizo was exceptional, better than most places we have had since we landed in AZ several months ago.
We did not opt for a cinnamon roll but I gather that must be one popular item as we seemed to be the ONLY table not ordering one... what I want to know is, how did they have room for one?? Yeow. we could barely finish our breakfasts, there was no room for a roll :) Maybe next time, we can pace ourselves better ;)
