| - Eat 'n Park is one sneaky chain.
They like to create new items on their menus (at times only for specific locations) only to pull them away before I can craft a review.
For instance, an errand brought Kay and I to the Waterfront for brunch early one wet, dismal afternoon, and on the bill of fare were two dishes that apparently are no longer offered: The Hefty Ham Sandwich and The Caramel Apple Pancakes. The former was my entree, and the latter was dessert of course. Yinz know how I trundle.
The sandwich was a classic of economy and restraint.
I know you could make it at home, numb-butts, but it's always better when someone else does it. Besides, the Superburger's gettin' old, and taking risks at Eat 'n Park is like playing football in a mine field. We'll not discuss their meatloaf, please.
Narrow flaps of a juicy, full-bodied ham fit for an employer's X-Mas bonuses are carefully, artfully placed within a chewy toasted Bavarian pretzel bun. Broiled cheddar cheese tops it. Spicy brown mustard compliments (condiments?) it. I asked for mayo as well since it's essential to my being, and I'm quirky like that. Warm, dripping, elementary comforts were had.
Did Eat 'n Park do something to its cole slaw? It has more...color now, and it tastes somewhat better than it used to (think tangy). Regardless, I chose it instead of fries since EnP's tend to underwhelm me.
On the flip side, I was overwhelmed by the Caramel Apple Pancakes, almost. I shirked the complimentary bacon (or sausage if you prefer) onto Kay so as to battle this beast uno en uno. Two signature EnP pancakes are topped with warm cinnamon apples, streusel, candied pecans, caramel.
If you have this as a main, you're on your way to join Wliford Brimley, cousin.
This was apple pie meets a cinnamon roll meets a bag of candy corn. The flapjacks were airier than a daytime talk show and frankly would have been dull with just syrup and butter coating them (I never order regular breakfast items at EnP). It was the humid fruit, the crunchy nuts, and the sinfully sugary white and brown icings that made this a treat, eclipsing anything on the dessert section f the card in a rare triumph.
For a chain, Eat 'n Park can be one helluva lark. Why do to you go to Denny's again? Tell me, real quick.
P.S. I have nothing bad to say about the service. Kay and I were treated professionally and not without a smile.
P.P.S. As I've mentioned in another EnP review, try the bearclaw if you're sick of having pies and sundaes (even if they are pretty good) after your meal. It will be served hot with butter slathered all over it. If you are to die that day...
