thejohncheng’s Eat of the Week: Briarpatch

Restaurant: Briarpatch

Location: 252 N Park Ave #3814, Winter Park

Happy Friday everyone! Today’s letter is B. B for words like Breakfast or Brunch or Birthday (today’s my wife’s birthday so happy Bday to her), and Briarpatch. This Winter Park spot is a favorite of ours.  We’ve been coming here for years when we want to treat ourselves, and it never disappoints. This time was the first time our kids came, and they definitely want to come back…like right now.

The reason is because everything is delicious and made with care.  I got a California Benedict, my wife ordered an omelette, my son got a waffle with everything on the side so he could plate it himself and just dip the strawberries into the Nutella directly, and my daughter got the French Toast.  Okay, everything was awesome.  The omelette was super filling, fresh, and the egg was cooked just right.  The bacon on my benedict was nice and thick and sweet, and I’m assuming the waffle was excellent because my son smashed that thing so fast without offering me a bite, that I was a bit offended and scared. But I want to tell you about this French Toast.

The slices of toast were thick!  Sometimes French Toast comes out with these soggy thin slices, but not this one.  It’s like a brick of bread where the outside was firm, but the inside was so moist (my daughter did let me have a slice).  The texture on each bite was just great.  You mix in the fresh fruit and that white cream, and it just balanced out the bread wonderfully.

Now, they are packed on the weekends, so I suggest getting there early, but it’s worth the wait if you have to stand in line for a little bit. So good eats, enjoy the pics, and I hope you have many Beautiful Brunchtacular Bites.
