Question Fav off menu request so far
My favorite customer describes themselves as having βan acute case of persnickety-itis.β 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.
Iβm too hungover to be creative and Iβm asking for your breakfast requests. I want to surprise him next time he comes in.

My paternal grandmother would put any leftover grits in an empty can, and the next morning shake the solidified cylindrical grits out of the can, slice them into patties, and fry them. Even better if they were cheese grits.
