| - I had heard of Scratch through the grapevine, but had decided not to try it because I was hearing about it from vegetarian-type friends. I usually don't care for their hippie food and the name Scratch sounded like one of their "it's a hamburger made out of a mushroom" type places.
I'm glad, however, that I gave it a swing. In fact, I keep swinging - I was there today in fact...and Tuesday....and last Wednesday.
Far from the bean sprout haven that I had expected, Scratch smokes their own pork for their Smokhouse burrito and their own pork belly for the BTL. WHAAAA?! Yes, you heard that correctly.
Their take on the famous Kentucky Hot Brown as a soup is to die for. It is to the point where the staff just bring me the soup upon arrival because, sooner or later, that stuff is going to make it's way to my table.
The salads are huge and fresh.
The chicken tacos can be found on house-made tortillas.
The burger, with the house-smoked pork belly and friend onions, is supurb.
I had yet to try their breakfast yet, but the menu contains crazy things like...
Tiramisu Pancakes
Bread Pudding French Toast
French Press
And the Strawberry Shortcake Waffle
The food - awesome.
Secondly, the staff is incredible. I can't say enough about the wait staff, their helpfulness, and the speed of service.
All in all - excellent. Go there - eat - be happy!
