| - Even with some sunny June weather and an open patio that pretty much doubles the size of Monki, we were still looking at 40 minutes, which turned out to be closer to an hour to get in. This is what has prevented me from eating at Monki until now. I've also learned, If you've got the time, the wait is worth it to eat at Monki.
If you want to kill some lineup time, I took a stroll down to Bumpy's http://www.yelp.ca/biz/bumpys-cafe-calgary to grab coffee and walked back. I have to admit, it was tempting to just give up on Monki right then and there and just grab some always decent food at the more than half empty Bumpy's, but I can tell you now that I am sure glad I didn't.
That Brisket and Chorizo Breakfast Hash! WOW. I ordered this on a recommendation from *Lindsey L.'s boyfriend, who when asked about it could only manage the words "Holy $#!+". Done. This is the breakfast I am having. A skillet full of potatoes, brisket, chorizo, 2 eggs and proseco hollandaise. I knew this was going to be one attractive breakfast but I didn't realize that the breakfast of my dreams was about to greet me at my table. With my first bite, he asked me how I liked it, the only words I could muster "Holy $#!+"
It's like a breakfast stew with I don't even know what for a broth. Love, maybe? Is that what love tastes like? One quick slice into the soft eggs on top and the yolk and hollandaise streamed down into the meat and potatoes. I think this is now love covered with even more love.
It's not every day a breakfast like this finds it's way to my mouth. It's memorable. The last time I felt this way was with OEB's http://www.yelp.ca/biz/oeb-breakfast-co-calgary-2?osq=over+easy+breakfast fois gras breakfast poutine. Taking a pause with every bite to savour and think to myself, "HOLY $#!+!!!"
