not so secret breakfast oasis
twelve hour restaurant shifts leave me laconic.
my words and energy used up i become a hulu addicted couch potato, too lazy for capital letters, sentence structure, or logical thought.
and while i may never have a friday or saturday night off, i can eat a broder breakfast midweek without having to wait.
hell yeah.
while not under the radar, i consider broder a must for every pdx breakfast aficionado.
swedish. neighborhoody.
a narrow banquette bar space accented by clean modern lines and warm wood.
intimate.
better half selected it for our anniversary brunch. go wifey. go yelp.
while intriguing i put down the menu after a quick glance to the left.
i did an "i'll take one of those"
"one of those" turned out to be a "pytt i panna (swedish hash)." potatoes, peppers, roast beef and ham, topped with baked eggs, served w/ walnut toasts.
as tempting as an aebliskiver might be, i doubt i'd ever order a different breakfast here.
lunch is another story though...the lamb burger with tomatoes, pickled red onions, curried ketchup, and chevre pretty much had me at "lamb burger." {drool}
i imagine its crowded here on the weekends. it should be. this isn't ubiquitous mindless artery clogging drivel.
not cheap, but worth it.
crafted with the care and thought of an evil genius blog post.
creative. well executed. delicious.
a perfect place to celebrate the best seven years of my life.
quite possibly a perfect place.

Broder's the kind of place that makes me want to move--I wish it were my neighborhood breakfast spot! Love the breakfast boards, too--and their waffles were delicious (I think maybe they're not on the new menu?).
ReplyDeleteAlso--my favorite bloody Mary in town--made with House Spirits Krogstad Aquavit, and lots of in-house pickled veggies as garnish.
Thanks, am looking forward to a return visit. I stole a few bites of my wife's breakfast board and indeed it was excellent as well.
ReplyDeleteOh sweet procrastination thanks to your delicious blog! Your flexible punctuation and lack of capitalization resemble poetry rather than fatigue. But you had already revealed the source of your creativity for this particular post. I can't wait to eat at Broder. Thanks for the delicious-sounding diversion.
