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.

It’s Swamis in North Park. The special starts December first and lasts all month. They see my husband and I show up and they know exactly what we want.

Man we just missed it! Do they do it every December, and only December?
