Food Hounds... there are times that ole' Brim and the boys get SO attached to the food at a restaurant, that we get a hankering for their delicious treats while on the road and count down the minutes until we are re-visiting a specific city and can once again dine on their delectable eats! The Porch at Schenley Park happens to be one of these places and we were lucky enough to fit a visit into our schedule... this time - for Breakfast! I cannot begin to tell you how excited we were because the dinner we had here awhile back was simply epic. Now, breakfast is done a tad bit differently as the inside dining room is not open to the public; however you place your order at a ginormous window that reminded me of the Wizard of Oz. It seemed as if all the answers to everything in life were right behind that window - in this case; it was the BEST answer to my grumbling tummy!
We had the two of their breakfast delicacies - a hearty slab of freshly baked fluffy and tasty sourdough (made in house), split open and stuffed with over-medium local free-range eggs (SO good), fresh butchered and smoked bacon (butchering done in house) and flavored to Chef Kevin's liking; then drizzled with melted Vermont cheddar... orgasmic! Next up, we again enjoyed that insanely soft sourdough; but this time smeared with homemade raspberry jam and honey butter (unreal), then stuffed with prosciutto, Parmesan cheese and topped with juicy eggs! WIN... WIN... WIN...! After begging a little bit, management did me the honor of making me those addictive Smashed Potatoes that I have had on my mind for over a year - Yukon Gold potatoes smashed and fried to perfection. LOVE them. I have to say that we enjoyed our dining for a second time at The Porch; fresh food - fresh coffee - great start me up! If you are a student or work in the area, I'd start my day off there as often as possible if I were you. Also, I'd watch out for their Brunch served starting at 10am on Saturdays and Sundays... that is next on our list!
