…moving away from the crazy theme I had going on earlier this week, I thought I’d share a new place with you.
As I’ve said often before, one of the things I like most about my job is getting to meet people, finding out a little about them, and finding new places to eat, go, do, see, etc.
Well, as luck would have it, a customer came in before Christmas and I was the one who got to wait on him.
In the course of the conversation, I asked what he did for a living, and he replied that he was a restaurateur.
He, and his wife own Another Broken Egg Cafe at the Peachtree Battle Shopping Center in Atlanta’s Buckhead district.
As a breakfast junkie, I had to check it out.
So, this Sunday, again, as luck would have it, I was actually off from work, and decided to take that special someone along for brunch.
Now, as you all know, I’m a Waffle House kinda guy, and fancy breakfast food is usually something I don’t do. Seriously, one egg, one piece of toast, and seventeen gallons of coffee, and I’m good.
But…this place is just way too cool to pass UP.
And apparently, I’m not the only one who thinks so. There was a 35 minute wait. Now, for Atlantans, that’s nothing, for folks like me who live in the suburgatory we call Gwinnett County, Georgia, that’s a life time. Just like most places, the weekends are the busiest. The wait during the week isn’t so long.
But, again, it was worth the wait.
Every thing there is charming and beyond. The Copper Top table, the rustic floors, the French attitude, and why not, one of the owners is named Mignon, and frankly, the only thing Frenchier than that is, well, not much really.
But, back to the restaurant. They have “starters”, translation: appetizers. We tried the Black Berry Grits.

“Black Berry Grits!”, you scream, “Grits are for butter, salt, and pepper.”
Well, not any more, Buford, so get with the program. They were AWESOME. Creamy, HOT, and covered in steaming Blackberries, they were a filling “starter” that has to be shared.
With over 100 items on the menu, I was hard pressed to settle on one, but waistline, workout, and walking in mind, I did.
I had Eggs Benedict Blackstone.
Again, AWESOME.
Their menu describes it this way ” An English muffin topped with grilled tomatoes, two medium poached eggs, creamy Hollandaise, and a baked bacon crunch and chives.”
I describe it as delicious. Two perfectly poached pullet pellets smothered in a rich and yummy sauce and covered with BAKED bacon. (BTW, Baked Bacon is THE only way to go, less grease, no splatter, easier clean UP, better taste, etc.)
There were home fries on the side as well. The best thing about the taters was that they weren’t greasy, didn’t leave a pool on the plate, and were perfectly done.

Yes, I know, I need a better camera…hello Ricoh and the rest, where are you?
Seriously, the pictures don’t do them justice, but the menu does, so click HERE if you want to see it.
There’s lots of meat on the menu, but all the crazy-assed, pork and beef eschewing scary people vegetarians out there need not worry, they have a menu section for you as well. It’s an all inclusive restaurant!
I’m sure many of you are thinking, “Why is he talking about a local restaurant, when his blog is an International phenomenon?”
Well, Just Another Broken Egg isn’t only in the ATL.
They have locations in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, California, and soon to be in Tennessee and North Carolina!
So, all my fans in Austin can check it out and let me know what they think.
The restaurant is open from 7AM til 2PM, seats at least 100 people, has a FULL BAR, so Sam can bring his mom and dad! They also have a room that looked like the perfect place for a Bridal Shower luncheon. There’s a giant screen TV showing Tom and Jerry cartoons, so it’s kid friendly, and the playoffs were on the tubes over the bar.
Parking isn’t too bad…for Atlanta…and I recommend that you park as far away as you can, since you’re gonna need to walk it off anyway…the portions are healthy – or maybe my Cardiologist would say un-healthy!
Frankly, if you don’t go away full and happy, there’s just no hope for you!
Check it out.
*I am NOT being compensated for this post, I paid the check, left a tip, and was glad to be there!
