| - Lately, the Mr and I have been referred to as "Brunch People." And that's a role that comes with a lot of responsibility. Saturday and Sunday mornings often turn into a "Where should we go for brunch?" discussion before I'm even out of bed.
Fact. It was Sunday morning and I was hungry. Moving from the "Oh, I could eat" to "I am going to punch someone if I don't get food immediately" state of mind. After running through the list of places
a) open for breakfast/brunch at 9am
b) we hadn't tried in a while/ever
c) were close to our home...
we settled on the dependable Flying Biscuit.
In my heart, when I'm hungry and I think of breakfast, there is nothing more satisfying than the perfectly executed PASTA, SAUSAGE & EGGS. Say what you will about the rest of the menu, but this is one dish that they get right every time. Given my dietary and lifestyle choices, I always ask them to substitute soysage for the sausage, which the kitchen obligingly does.
For this dish, expect creamy eggs with cheese, penne pasta, sausage (or soysage), spinach, mushrooms (and maybe a bit of onion) all scrambled together into a perfect melange of all that is breakfast.
Fire that up with an unbelievably tall and bizarrely sweet biscuit topped with a squirt of apple butter and a side of creamy dreamy grits and I swear, it will be worth the 10 minute wait on a weekend.
Their coffee is notably not the worst I've had.
Other interesting, veggie-friendly things to try:
- Fried green tomatoes (a twist on the traditional)
- Orange scented french toast (order extra anglaise -- trust me)
- Clifton omelette (winner)
I'm sure their non-breakfast offerings are good, but I can't stray from my favorites.
