Style Weekly dines at Spoonbread Bistro
The location 2526 Floyd Ave has seen many restaurants come and go. Perhaps this take on southern cuisine will stick around.
The nearby Fan dwellers I know have sung Spoonbread’s praises. Judging by the review if you grab brunch you won’t be needing to eat again that day.
Baked eggs, bacon, potatoes, swiss cheese and Smithfield ham in muffin tins result in breakfast cupcakes ($8), served over a circle of Sally Lunn bread with hollandaise sauce for frosting and pimento peppers for sprinkles. Both clever and tasty, these easily could be a main course rather than a starter.
Not for the faint of appetite, savory short ribs braised in red wine and port join with sautéed spinach ($12) to transform the cheese omelet, although the flavors balance best once half of the Mornay sauce is kicked to the side of the plate.
