Delicious brunch in the Annex.
I can't count the number of times I've passed by Fanny Chadwick's and the huge line of hungry patrons waiting outside. To be honest, I'm not big on brunch but we decided to check it out anyway early after opening at 10am. Even at this hour, the restaurant was near capacity except for the outdoor patio area where we had the area to ourselves for a hot 10 mins.
My gf's eggs benedict was probably the best I've had. Their hollandaise is made with beer (awesome!). You can add a variety of toppings including wilted greens (recommended), american bacon, peameal bacon, and so much more. You can even choose the type of bread too! Highly recommend with hash browns. Many places seem to screw up hash browns. These were soft warm, well spiced, and had pieces of crunchy goodness (gotta have the crunchies).
My order of finnish pancakes came out with an impressive presentation but was somewhat lacking in flavor. I could have used a side of maple syrup to go with it. Enjoyable as the meal was, the real highlight was the benny.
BTW: the homemade "hot sauce" is more of a hellish relish made with habanero. Seriously...proceed with caution.
