Food Brunch Alert!

Posted by Alison Hallett on Fri, Dec 21 at 4:07 PM

Last weekend’s installment of Brunch With My Parents™ took us to Podnah’s Pit, which is now serving brunch from 9 am-1 pm.

It was awesome. And bizarrely, at about 10 am on Saturday, it was empty. There were two other tables. It was crazy.

The menu is pretty short. Biscuits and gravy. Breakfast burrito. My smoked trout hash was phenomenal, Mom loved her huevos rancheros, and Dad’s ham and eggs landed satisfactorily within his (very small) comfort zone. And as a special, they were serving kolaches, pastries filled with a sweet poppy seed paste, served warm, which were… just outstanding. Next time I go nothing is standing between me and the biscuits and gravy. Nothing.

My only beef is that if you’re gonna make me self-serve my coffee, at least give me a bigger cup. We had to make about 14 round trips to the coffee pot to fill those teeny little teacups.

Thanks to altportland for their informative writeup.

What is the deal with the self-serve coffee in this town? Is it that hard to get a dishwasher or table busser or waitron to run around the restaurant with a pot? Your tips will suffer should I have to get my own!!!!

Thanks for the linkluv, Alison. I was there on Sunday and there were a couple of tables... which makes me feel better than the times I'm in there and there's no one else. The B&G are spectacularly good.

We must spread the word. I really want to see this succeed!

Hmmm...I was also there last Sunday as well. But I'm in love with the grits, so must have ham, eggs and grits (with a biscuit) when I'm there.
