| - Breakfast in Calgary continues to impress me, this small but refreshing joint being the latest addition to the 'must go', 'holy crap that was incredible' spots to eat away a late night induced headache.
Everything is done right: friendly and attentive staff, relaxing decor and well organized seating space with bar area, a menu that takes chances while keeping staples in reach for those who want to keep it simple, and my god the coffee was fantastic.
The pulled pork chipotle with poached eggs jumped out at me, odd because I never get something like this for breakfast. It did not disappoint, was one of the tastiest and flavorful dishes I have had for breakfast in years. The poached eggs sit on top of a mountain of pulled pork, yams, and peppers which are stewing in the chipotle flavored sauce in the bowl - guarding the sides of the bowl are two pieces of delicious cornbread which I imagine were freshly made. I enjoyed this treat with a 'mall rat', which is an adult (vodka) creamsicle like drink that could be dangerous if I came on a Saturday morning (feel like I could have 10 of these). Also got an omelette which was packed with meat and veggies, and a side pancake that despite not requesting came with blueberries and banana (sweet!).
Yea and as for the coffee, waiter said they don't bother with espresso or other drinks, just focused on getting great coffee - mission accomplished. I enjoyed my takeaway at home while in a lovely food coma.
