One glance at Food 101’s menu and you know that GM and Chef Ron Eyester prioritizes “delicious” above “nutritious.” The breakfast bruschetta arrives as crispy toast buckling under a tower of eggs, bacon and goat cheese. The fried cheese grits are like edible cholesterol baseballs. Those are just the starters.
For the ultimate betrayal of your New Year’s resolution, try the secret menu item, The Big Nasty: a fried chicken sandwich piled high with eggs, bacon and cheese, served with perfectly baked breakfast potatoes.
With modest menu prices and generous, delectable portions, Food 101 is your next brunch stop.
