| - We didn't mean to eat here.
The Brad and I are big fans of Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, and on a Sunday we planned to go to a Mexican place a few blocks away and have lunch. I take the blame for being the idiot who didn't check the hours. Sitting in the parking lot of the closed restaurant, we pulled up the Triple D map on the phone and found Parkview Nite Club only a few miles away and decided to give it a shot.
Did I mention that it was Sunday at lunch time? Yeah, Parkview only serves brunch (and limited lunch items) on Sundays until 3.
At this point, I was too annoyed to try finding another restaurant (breakfast foods are not my favorite), so I grudgingly ordered Eggs Oscar (it's like Eggs Benedict, but with crab - or in this case, krab - instead of Canadian bacon). It looked pretty delicious when she sat my plate in front of me. One bite, and I deeply regretted my earlier desire to leave. It was absolutely the best breakfast dish I'd ever eaten. The sauce was rich and flavorful, the english muffin was toasted just enough to keep it from getting soggy in the sauce, the eggs were cooked perfectly and did that lovely little burst when I cut them.
Brad ordered the Hash Lafayette (creole seasoned hash), and much as that's not really something I would ever order, I thought it was great! The seasoning was just right, the meat was flavorful, the potatoes were spot on, and it was just a well done dish.
I will have to go back someday for the regular menu, but speaking as someone who just isn't that into breakfast, that Sunday brunch menu was definitely worth the trip from Columbus.
