| - I have heard plenty of hype around Fire, but every time I am interested in brunch, I'm usually not interested in looking my best, with a trendy scarf and well done hair, and have subsequently always passed.
But this Saturday we were at the tail end of the farmer's market, and my husband suggested at least stopping in for some coffee at the bar. We were former regulars at Katz's Diner on Lee Rd, and they always had the most amazing coffee (which is a Katz custom blend from Rising Star Coffee Roasters). I agreed, despite my jeans and puffy vest attire.
We opted to sit at the bar, which is our usual M.O., and I didn't feel too under-dressed or unwelcome. The bartender was extremely nice and helpful, and we got a pair of hot, steaming coffees and settled in for the full spread, since we were both starving.
Although everything on the menu looked amazing, my stomach wanted something on the simple side. I went for the eggs and potatoes, but not before asking the bartender about how it came. I was concerned that $10 is a lot of pay for just eggs and potatoes (no meat, no toast, no fruit, no salad), but I was pleasantly surprised. Server said 3 eggs, but its more like 4 eggs, and light, fluffy, perfectly done (attributable to the butter I'm sure). Potatoes were also fabulous, and I got a side of house made breakfast sausage. The sausage was a little dense for my liking, but the flavor was outstanding. Husband got the chicken livers dish (totally not my thing), and he said they were the best he'd ever had.
I can't wait to bring my friends from Columbus here on their next visit!
