There's nothing quite like brunch out with family. This morning we made our way to a new venue. Well, it's only "new" by time slot I guess. The Southern is one of our favorite places for dinner when we're in the mood for good 'ole Southern cooking. What we hadn't yet tried was their Sunday brunch menu.
And we were absolutely missing out on something spectacular. Open at 11, Sunday brunch is everything you would imagine, and all with a delicious and aromatic Southern twist. The menu is anything from "normal", at least, "normal" according to midwestern "bacon and eggs" standard. Oh, they have them, but general, "bacon, eggs, and a side of biscuits" is all a "pick a side" compilation dish. Most menu options are more intricate, more flavorful, and way more Southern. One of our party goers had Shrimp and Cheese grits which was superbly yummy and with just a kick of heat and red pepper topping. My boyfriend had the "messy" breakfast, or french fries, egg, cheese, bacon, and gravy all in one big bowl. I chose the "all sides" option of scrambled eggs and fruit and the last person in our party also did an "all sides" meal of bacon, eggs, cheese grits and homemade biscuits. Wow.
But even more than that, their donuts are incredible, dipped in sugar and surrounded by a coffee glaze dipping sauce. The banana's foster french toast is humongous and thick, and the bloody mary's put other drinks to shame. Everything was perfect, and everything screamed "Southern, homecooked goodness." Now, who's up for next Sunday?
