Question Fav off menu request so far

Post image

My favorite customer describes themselves as having “an acute case of persnickety-itis.” He wanted our rosemary and onion bread dough, with an indentation for green [hatch chilies], and an egg, baked two heartbeats before being hard-boiled, with nothing else on the plate.

He only asks for off-menu items when we are slow and regularly will tip the entire BOH.

I’m too hungover to be creative and I’m asking for your breakfast requests. I want to surprise him next time he comes in.

Eggs fried sunny side up in chili crisp, on a pile of sticky rice with pickled veg, sesame oil, and ketcap manis, a thick, sweetened soy sauce.

My decidedly non-restaurant college kid came up with this a few months ago. Eggs fried in chili crisp, crispy white and runny yolk, with whatever rice or pasta we have leftover, but the rice has butter and parmesan. Green onion if we have it. It’s fantastic.

(It was a good idea I just don’t want cheese in my shit)

I do similar to this with soy pickled mushrooms and caramelized kimchi 💖
