Breakfast at French Meadow

Our family tradition is to go out and have a great Sunday breakfast whenever we can. We love trying new restaurants, but we have a few favorites. This week we tried French Meadow Cafe in South Mpls. Anton had ate here before, but I never did.

Let me start off by saying this an organic restaurant in a great location. The restaurant has a rustic vibe that I loved.

I ordered the Cajun hashbrowns and added one egg and chicken chorizo. Yum! I love a place that can give me a breakfast meat option since I don't eat pork. Anton got the sourdough French toast AND the burrito. He pretty much always gets French toast for us to share and a main dish. We both loved our dishes. My hashbrowns had just enough Cajun spice and the chorizo was a great addition. The sourdough French toast we shared had a traditional sourdough taste allowing a sour but sweet taste in each bite. The burrito was also very good. It had a delicious veggie chili on top. This place gets two thumbs up from us. We will definitely be back.

We Got Souled

Today's trip brought us to Corner Stone Cafe. They are home of the infamous Soul Rolls. They are located in N. Mpls off Glenwood. Most people talk about their soul rolls and amazing kool-aid.

We came in and were greeted by friendly staff, a few loud customers, and a fruit and salad display that looked amazing. My friend and I settled on the platter that included 3 chicken wings, a waffle, and a soul roll for $14.99. I selected the 9am roll filled with eggs, turkey sausage, and unbeknownst to me jalapeño or a spicy pepper (I would have declined that). My friend got the Nanny filled with chicken, mac and cheese, and greens.

Overall I would give the experience 3 out of 5 stars. The waffle had a savory taste which I wasn't sure if I liked or not. While the chicken wings were small, they were packed with tasty seasonings. The soul roll itself was different and worth a try, but unfortunately not something I would go back for. If I ever stop in again it will be for the yummy looking salad.
