The Farmers Table

There is a new breakfast place in the old Relish spot, at Listening. Cherie and I took the kids there on Sunday, and we were generally pleased. Cherie started by giving the poor waitress the single most complicated eggs order I have ever imagined, much less actually heard. The eggs came back not at all like Cherie had intended, but I don't think that's really a fair criticism.

I had an egg sandwich with bacon, prepared "any way you see fit" (after Cherie's egg order-from-hell, I only thought that was fair), and it was excellent. On bread that I think they probably made themselves. We ate early, and this sandwich kept me full until dinner.

The kids loved the eggs, pancakes, granola, fruit, and home fries. The potatoes had a dominant herb, which Cherie tells me was rosemary. They were really good.

I should mention that there was also a buffet, which had pretty much everything on the menu on it, but at $12, I didn't think I could do it justice (the entrees were all about half that price).

Oh, and the coffee was really good, too.
