| - Breakfast and brunch is the most fast and furious time of the day, what with all of the people in a hurry to start their day, the prospect of a full day of work ahead, and the fact that most people haven't eaten since the night before. In contrast, some folks, like us who are in the food industry, find ourselves usually off on Mondays or Tuesdays. We savour our solace, looking for the the perfect place to just chill while the rest of the world whips around us at breakneck speed.
It is comforting to know, that no matter what world I'm currently in, I can rely on brothers Gil and Jeff Carlos to deliver an experience that exceeds expectation and makes me feel right at home and perfectly content in my moment. Upon being greeted with a warm welcome, I pull up a chair and have a fresh cup of Fratello coffee, locally custom blended and roasted for the Bro-kin Yolk. As I read through the morning's emails or peruse the morning paper, the place is alive with conversation and banter from the customers and cooks in the open kitchen. Being a chef myself, I enjoy sitting at the bar so I can have a front seat to all the action.
The menu is a simple, yet solid breakfast and lunch selection featuring the classics like Farmer's breakfast, homemade hash and sausage, to waffles, poutine, and eggs benny. All of these delicious selections feature super fresh local ingredients and the most beautiful eggs you will ever see. Such rich golden dark yolks that taste sublime, needing only a simple seasoning of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
From an industry perspective, breakfast is the toughest service of the day. It's fast, intense, and unforgiving. It can eat a young cook alive and spit him out. Add to this the fact that you are working with the most delicate of ingredients...eggs. It takes a keen sense of timing, organization, creativity, and patience to do all the wonderful things you can do to a humble egg. Chef Jeff has a good crew that brings the utmost professionalism and attention to detail to every dish.
I support local businesses with all my heart. Passion really goes a long way when a business owner makes the huge decision to invest in a community and become a part of it, servicing and contributing to its whole and becoming an integral institution, whether its fixing cars, cutting hair, or serving up breakfast. On the other hand, I have seen business owners that come in with the wrong intention, finding the best place to make the most money, and wonder why a short time later, they're finished.
It's with a great sigh of relief that I can say that I'm glad that Gil and Jeff have found a home in their community to operate and grow their business. And it is my recommendation that if you are lucky enough to live here, to take advantage, drop in, have a cup of coffee, and find your moment here at The Bro'kin Yolk.
