Places dedicated to breakfast/brunch are super awesome. Even better are places dedicated to one particular brunch item, which in Yolks' case is eggs benedict (henceforth referred to as an eggs benny). Truth be told, I was never really a fan of eggs growing up. My appreciation for them only started with scrambled eggs when I was about 11 or 12. Any other method of cooking eggs - hard/soft boiled, poached, sunny side up - was not for me. I still have this resistance to this day, though I am slowly becoming more appreciative of eggs beyond their scrambled and omelette form. Since I was coming to a place that is known throughoutthe city for their eggs bennys (and people wait in lines for them!), then I knew that it would be foolish to get anything else. I went with my friend Jamie to celebrate the end of final exams, and we went to the more conveniently located West Broadway location (their commissary is on East Hastings at Commercial, a particularly run down and more difficult part of town to get to, though it can be done!). At Yolks, you are able to build your eggs benny, so I went with the classic English muffin with maple ham, the poached egg (of course) and topped with aged white cheddar, as well as added a side of the famous lemon truffle hashbrowns. Everything was incredible and tasty, and it helped my appreciation for poached eggs more and more! Yolks does not take reservations, and because of its popularity you might find yourself waiting for a bit. But I promise, it's worth it! Also, check out how ya girl was featured on Yolks' Instagram!

TASTE: 5/5 SERVICE: 5/5 PRICE: $ Even if you never get the chance to go check out The Eatery, go check out their website. Websites aside, The Eatery is a funky place for Japanese food. Owned by the same person who owns The General Public, the eclectic atmosphere is just as weird as the names of their rolls. I brought my friend Cielo down here on her first downtown adventure, and an adventure it certainly was. Cielo and I shared a Crazy Spice Roll, a Barbie Roll and a Tuna Crunch Roll along with a Chicken Yakisoba. The food was delicious and just as eccentric as the decorations hanging from the ceiling and the walls. It was all very good, and it came relatively fast as well. Just the same as The General Public, I recommend getting there a little earlier just to avoid the wait. However, the menus for The General Public and The Eatery are exactly the same, so at the end of the day it really doesn't matter which one you go to. If you are a relying on transit, then The General Public is an easier place to get to. If you are driving, then it's up to you! Both are incredibly strange but really delicious. |
