Read MoreThe wonderful thing about dining at this spot is that you could come here 100x and never have the same thing twice. The rotation and variety of the specials, grounded on a foundation of an exceptional menu, makes eating here a real treat. It’s so refreshing to see a brunch spot that stays away from gimmicks and sticks to what is important: incredibly delicious food paired with attentive and friendly service. There are few places like this that still exist.
Today I had the Waffle Special which is their Cornbread Waffle topped with Green Tomato Chow Chow. It’s pairedd with a white BBQ sauce and buttermilk fried chicken (tenders 2x).
I’ve never had a less than stellar experience with the fried chicken tenders. They know what they’re doing because they are never over nor under cooked, literally perfect every time I’ve had them.
With this dish in particular, though I loved the friendliness of my server, she didn’t accurately describe to me what chow chow is. I truly had no idea what it was, but it’s actually like a pickled relish. She described it as a slaw and the two are fundamentally very different. I found that the amount of chow chow served on my portion made the dish unbalanced due to the intensity of the relish. I love a great pickled accruement (I’ve had their pickled red onions many times over), but even looking at the pictures attached, you can see that it definitely was quite a lot on the dish. I also didn’t get server enough white BBQ sauce and the server kind of took notice and asked if I desired more. It could be my portion was misfired today, but I needed to start with the negatives before I lord on the positives.
The white BBQ sauce was out of this world. I couldn’t believe how nuanced it was in its tanginess and its subtle sweetness. The composition is complex - something that A LOT of BBQ sauce (white or not) completely miss. The consistency is more along the lines of a vinegar-based sauce but it IS creamy, so maybe like a blue cheese dressing but just the perfect consistency.
I wish the way the dish was presented was more balanced, because each component on their own was actually really awesome. The cornbread waffle… just WOW. It was LIGHT, FLUFFY, and FLAVORFUL! I don’t know how many could tell, but they treated their cornbread waffle with as much love as you would any Belgian style waffle, with the waves of vanilla that coated every bite. It provided a subtle sweetness that was the perfect pair to the acid of the chow chow and the heaviness of the chicken. I would say this CORNBREAD waffle was LIGHTER than their Belgian. Just.. wow…..
Overall, TODAY was a ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 1/2 star experience, but The Brunch Apothecary is my overall 5 start brunch go-to because of just how high they raise the bar. Their specials are always creative and usually hit every single mark. Thank you to my wonderful server Izzy for being so awesome. In the past I’ve also enjoyed being greeter by Lily and Breanna (sp on both, please, haha). Anyway, much love to this gem of an establishment!
