Biscuits for Brunch
As long as we’re talking about Baron’s birthday, I should mention where we ate brunch that day: The Flying Biscuit Café. There are 2 locations, and we went to the Midtown one. The Flying Biscuit is a local favourite that serves breakfast all day in an eclectic, yet cramped space.
I had never actually eaten at the Flying Biscuit before, and when I suggested going there to Baron, he wouldn’t stop talking about their cranberry apple butter, which comes with the biscuits. I took this as a “yes” to my recommendation.
After parking in their tiny, tiny parking lot, I ordered The Flying Biscuit Breakfast: 2 eggs, a biscuit, sausage, and grit or potatoes [I chose grits]. One thing I appreciated was that I had the option of ordering soysage instead of sausage, so of course I did so. But since I rarely eat fake meat, I made Baron inspect it before I would eat it to make sure that they hadn’t accidentally forgotten to substitute the soysage. As a devout vegetarian, you learn how to always be a little paranoid and on the look-out for rogue meat.
For his meal Baron chose The High Flyer, which is the same as what I ordered, except it also comes with an organic oatmeal pancake topped with peach compote. Everything we had was tasty; I did rather enjoy my biscuit with the cranberry apple butter. I also enjoyed Baron’s pancake, of which I snagged a few bites. It was denser and heartier than the pancakes I’m used to. Even though the restaurant is really tight and crowded, the food is filling & tasty, the service is decent, and the atmosphere is fun.

Yum!
I went to the strip district over thanksgiving — it was great. I think I need to get a better camera so I’ll start taking some good foodie pictures to post.
