The $5 Granola, Yogurt and Fruit at this brunching mecca was under-your-radar because you’ve been busy loading up on the rashers, bangers and other carb-heavy gems the restaurant offers. My old favorite was the Huevos Rancheros, a dish that looks like a sloppy hot mess but is delightful. Basically, it’s a Mexican breakfast: sunny side eggs, sour cream, avocado, black beans, cheddar cheese and salsa. And yes, it’s a laxative with a 10-minute time release.
Since I was sick of wrecking the cutesy, artsy bathroom mid-meal, I looked for healthier options this weekend. Which was difficult with hangover-induced fatty food cravings, I gotta’ tell ya. But I summoned the health food freak within and holy poops, am I glad I did. The Granola, Yogurt and Fruit dish is served in three separate, neat bowls. The granola is full of almonds and other yummy nuts that I don’t know the name of, the yogurt is creamy and vanilla-y, and the fruit is a blueberry, strawberry, melon mix. And like any good collaboration, all the ingredients together are even tastier.
If you quit drinking coffee, the grey tea pairs perfectly with this meal.
I’m tellin’ ya: next time you head down to F-town, consider getting in touch with your inner Whole Foods nazi.
