Cheap Eats 2006

By Margaret Seiler

As if a giant biscuit exploded and scattered its crumbs all over the metro area (like the white goo of the Stay-Puft marshmallow man at the end of Ghostbusters), this five-location local chain has probably already taken over a nondescript storefont near you. Inside, chipper servers bring bright, mismatched and overflowing plates of sweet-potato pancakes, daily specials loaded with fruit and powdered sugar, rainbow-medley omelettes, and biscuits ($4-$6 with gravy, $2.50 with jelly) that are worth naming a restaurant—or a firstborn child—after. Bring on the world domination! (MS)
