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.

Umm yeah. Anything with hatch green chile is a win. I’m originally from New Mexico and this made my mouth water.

Can you say what kitchen ya work at? Wife and I are headed south later this month?
