| - "I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me.
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed.
Disappointment haunted all my dreams.
Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave her if I tried"
Thinking of Aunties & Uncles, reminds me of songs from the 1960s rock pop group Monkees. Perhaps it's the kitsch adorned walls, the hipster vibes and threads or the greasy home cooking that reminds me of a time when butter was never second guessed. Butter should never be second guessed.
It's almost impossible to get into Aunties & Uncles without a wait. If you want to skip the line all together, you'll need to skip a night of drinking or camp out after bar crawling to get to the front of the line by 10:00am. If you get there by 11:00am you'll be dealing with a small crowd but should be in no later then 25 minutes. Once in, you already can sense why its worth the wait.
Highlights:
1. Great ambiance and lots to look at. They've done a great job at collecting some precious articles from decades ago. There's a few questionable items but all in all it works together.
2. Always the same chefs in the small open concept kitchen. If you get a chance, try to watch them at work. It's like a rhythmic food trance.
3. Food is wickedly buttery and amazing. The sammie is something else. A sumptuous buttery onion bun, packed with greasy eggs, tomato, mayo and avocado. (subbed it for bacon).
4. Affordable. A lot of brunch places are offering eggs for $12 + which I think can be a pretty big rip off. For two you can walk away with a $30 bill. That's with drinks as well.
When I'm feeling like a greasy breakfast of high quality goodness I instantly think of making a hop over to A & U...sometimes you get in, sometimes you don't, but it's worth the try.
