Over Easy brings innovation to two sectors that often stick to the traditional – eggs, as the title indicates, and less obviously, beverages. It’s hard for us to resist namesake items so we went with the Over Easy. Per the menu, this is “toasted brioche with sautéed spinach, fried egg and natural jus with bacon & scallions.” The waiter said we could choose whatever egg preparation we liked but that over easy or over medium were recommended; we got the latter.
Now it’s not like you need a PhD to combine bacon, scallions, spinach and egg. This could be done by you or maybe even me. But Over Easy dreamed it up and the result is salty nirvana.
We also got an omelette with American cheese, asparagus and mushrooms. The vegetables were fresh with a good crunch in the asparagus.
Now about those drinks – no need for the usual orange juice here. You’re better off selecting, as we did, the iced coffee augmented with cinnamon, cardamom, sweetened condensed milk and mint, and the strawberry lemonade with rosemary.
If we get a chance to get back here, we’d like to check out the French toast we saw on Guy Fieri’s show, and perhaps something from the long list of benedicts. One caveat: they close at 2pm.
