| - The name of this restaurant MAY conjure up memories of big unfriendly pills being shoved down your throat after a bout of flu... but I hope that it will now take on new meaning considering the non-flu-like scrumptiousness that takes place here!
I stumbled upon reviews while looking up different breakfast joints in the Old Town area and I was impressed with the many menu options, so I took my friend here on a Saturday morning. We only sat waiting for about fifteen minutes, which was impressive. It's a big place and they have many seats.
So back to those MANY breakfast options: Hello Waffles! Hello Omelets! Hello HEALTH NUT OPTIONS? I am that person who stares at the healthier options at a breakfast joint, telling myself that it'll be good-- or at least not filled with regret and coma-inducing ingredients. Unfortunately, delicious breakfast food is typically sprinkled with these for the utmost flavor and enjoyment. So, with my egg white selected, when the server comes around, I blurt out "Eggs benedict!" every time...ultimately failing. (But never disappointing myself!) This time, I decided to take a leap of faith because of the following:
Roasted Turkey Sandwich
House roasted turkey, corn salsa & red onion scrambled with three egg whites. Topped with chili cheese sauce & avocado served open faced on multigrain. Served with herb potato & fruit.
OK... I admit this has both cheese sauce and potatoes in it, so it's not EXACTLY an egg white omelet with spinach and mozzarella. Alas, it had tons of flavor and came in such a heap that I had to take half of it home! The chili cheese sauce and corn salsa really made the dish. My friend got the Belgian waffle with the DD hash and a side of their thick-cut bacon. What is the DD hash? you might ask. WELL, it is butternut squash sauteed in miracles and tears of joy. There are some onions and spices in there too. I will be getting an item that comes with the hash option next time FO SHO. Mmmm.
So the Daily Dose, overall, made me feel like I made a good life decision with the Healthy Nut options being just as delightful as the regular menu items all while introducing new twists on breakfast standards that really pop! I may have to start getting a weekly dose...
