Hungry CatI was still reeling with enjoyment from my brunch at the Hungry Cat just a couple weeks earlier, I came here again with my friend Ted. He was actually in the mood for brunch at Tupelo Junction, but when we walked by it was heaving with people. And honestly, I like the Hungry Cat more. Hardly anyone seems to know, or appreciate, that the HC is open for brunch, the place was nearly empty. We sat at the bar for good eats and idle conversation with the nice guys behind the counter.
We ordered and shared cornmeal biscuits and fried eggs with chorizo gravy (on left), and a classic breakfast of fried eggs, bacon and potatoes. I requested the eggs over medium and got just that. The bacon, incidentally, is smoked in-house. Fans of it can buy slices at local C’est Cheese. While dining at the bar, we watched the cooks start preparing candied grapefruit peel for their Greyhound Proper cocktails, and we got to sample their housemade grenadine. It’s this kind of casual chatter and interaction that I like about the Hungry Cat, compared to other crazy-ass busy brunch spots. After food, we hightailed it back to State Street for an afternoon showing of a Christmas Carol at the Granada Theatre. Happy Christmas! Photos by Ted Mills. Past words: Hungry Cat |
