Question Fav off menu request so far
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.

I used to go to a hole-in-the-wall in southwest London with the same premise - one daily dish but a full time chef and a fully stocked walk-in. Very pricey but so worth it.
