A few weeks ago, I got an email from Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar introducing their new weekend breakfast menu. Hold on there…breakfast menu at a burger bar?
We’ve visited their Birkdale location several times and really enjoyed their fried pickles and burgers. It’s a great location and at night, that joint is jumpin’. So what in the world are they doing serving breakfast? Not to mention what in the world would they actually serve? They have a burger on the menu that is served with a fried egg—will it be just an endless variation of those?
The email went on to list the menu and my jaw dropped and drooled as I read through the items: French toast, pancakes, eggs Benedict and bacon. I’m a huge fan of breakfast and brunch—so this is something that is looking good to me.
I immediately showed the email to the hubby and suggested that he wake up early one Saturday morning and, as a family, we’d give the breakfast at Bad Daddy’s a try. Of course, this would all have to take place after I finished yard sales.
For two Saturday mornings in a row, I came home after the sales around 8-ish and attempted to wake everyone up to join me for breakfast. No one would budge. The first Saturday, I let it go. That second Saturday? Forget them, I decided to go solo. This gal isn’t letting this brunch get away.
Take a look at the menu:
I think you can probably guess where I started.
That’s Bananas….with a side of bacon.
And let me tell you…it was absolutely amazing. Hands down, this was the most incredible French toast I’ve ever had in my life. It was piled high with sliced bananas (was it a whole banana? It sure looked like it!) while swimming in a rich, thick and warm caramel sauce—dotted generously with chopped walnuts.
That first bite was game-changing. I treated that first slice like it was made out of gold. If you’re familiar with the amazing-ness that is Moravian Sugar Cake, then this tasted like a thinly sliced (almost deep fried?) version. I was so bowled over by the taste that I only ate the top slice and brought the second slice of French toast home for the hubby. He needed to experience this mouthful of heaven.
Needless to say, on my next visit a few weeks later—I kept both slices to myself!
