My Little Brunch Secret- Revealed!
-
For the past few months I’ve been looking forward to the weekends which mean BRUNCH for me- nothing like a great brunch (and maybe a Bloody Mary or Mimosa) after a tough workout. I have found the perfect place for my weekend grubs- Beanie’s Pop Up Brunch at the Down and Out (5th and Spring in Alexandria Hotel).
I knew I liked this place the first time I saw the menu- Eggs Benedict w/ Home Fries for $6.25. I have ordered that so much I think I’m known as “Mr Benedict” now LOL! Today I had the French Toast Banana Foster which was amazing (and a beautiful presentation- albeit on a paper plate with plastic utensils- which I am quite fine with and totally understand with the “Popup” concept.
The really amazing thing is that it is all one family working there- brothers, sisters, mom, dad- and the brothers are all trained chefs (one cooks at Casa at night- another great place). They really care about the quality of the food and go out of their way to make sure people are happy. They are hoping to have a “real” restaurant of their own downtown by end of 2011- and they claim they will keep pop8p too.
So check out Beanie’s some Sat. or Sun. from about 11am - 3pm. No big lines, no waiting more than a few minutes- I’m in heaven!
