Explored. Sassafras American Eatery.
My handsome hubby loooooooves breakfast foods and he loves finding new restaurants. I don't completely understand his love for all things breakfast foods, but after being married for almost five years now I really really enjoy our Saturday morning breakfasts. I have also gotten pretty good at making pancakes and bacon and sausage and omelets. I'm also working really really hard to like eggs more- over the past like six months I've stopped gagging when I eat eggs (I'm not joking).Anyway- this past Friday my husband decided he wanted to try a new breakfast place here in Denver called Sassafras American Eatery- which has a semi-unique southern comfort flair in their food that you don't find a ton here in Denver. It was really really good.
There was a fairly long wait I must warn you- but it was totally worth it. Plus they had a really awesome outdoor sitting area along with complimentary coffee and flavored water while you waited. My hubby and I took a little walk around the neighbor and then waited inside to admire the salt shaker collection and the awesome wood textures.
Now don't laugh at me... but it was the first time I had ever had fried green tomatoes (I liked them... yum yum). I ordered the Chicken Fried Eggs & Smoked Buffalo Hash (picked directly below) as the waitress recommended. I have never had hash before... or chicken fried eggs but I was pleasantly surprised. The has was awesome and the egg added a nice smoothness to the hash. My favorite part was the Jalapeño Cornbread... could have eaten like a million pieces of those bad boys.My hubby ordered the Breakfast Mac (pizza, mac & cheese, and breakfast food are his top favorite foods ever) with a side order of the Banana Custard Brioche French Toast. Looks pretty amazing doesn't it? He like the french toast best of the two things he ordered... but he said that was a hard pick. I was too full with my own food to try much of his- but it sure did look good. :)
