Frankly Eatery, Frankly Delicious

Did you know I?ve been celebrating Waffle Wednesday for almost a year and a half now? Traditions like this one are just too good to give up.

Today?s waffle isn?t your typical sweet and fruity one. These days, I wake up wanted savoury. Eggs. Cheese. Bacon.

Cook your bacon in a frying pan while whisking together the other ingredients. Add the cooked bacon bits to the batter and waffle away!

I topped mine with low-fat Philadelphia spinach cream cheese. Again, not because it?s necessarily ?healthier.? It was on sale. I like it!

Forget cupcakes, this is one manly waffle ;)

While we?re on the the topic of brunch foods, I have something I need to say.

Listen, I know I am biased, but I truly believe I live in the best brunch neighbourhood in Toronto.

Those of you living outside the tee-dot may not understand what a bold statement this really is.

I live in a city obsessed with brunch. Every single restaurant touts a special brunch menu. Line-ups spill into the streets on weekends between 10 and 2. In Toronto, a restaurant is only has good as its brunch.

In Leslieville, my ?hood, you can throw a rock in any direction and hit a place that specializes in this holy meal. And me? I am a girl on a mission to try brunch at every one of them.

Which brings us to Frankly Eatery. A newer addition to the Queen East line-up, offering brunch classics with an Indian twist. Brunch is so overdone around here, I love the idea of fusing the traditional dishes with some cultural spice!

My roommie and I popped over after a Pilates class. Our abs were in pain, but our bellies hungry.

Our Pilates instructor (hi Sandra!) recommended their rice bowls. Megan went for the one on special: chicken in a tomato coconut sauce over rice.

I had a bite and it was gooooood. The sauce rich thanks to the coconut, but still light because of the tomato. Only mildly spicy so the flavours still stood out.

I however had eggs on the mind so I went with the Egg Bhuri.

Spicy Indian style scramble with onions, peas and tomatoes served w/ green salad and sliced baguette.

They asked me if I wanted it mild, medium or hot. After going back and forth, I opted for the mild, and happy I did! It was still spicy but without making me break into a sweat. Loved the peas and the amount of eggs I got. The greens were nicely dressed and I piled everything on top of the baguette slices.

The best part though?

My roommate, who doesn?t blog, but still takes pictures of her food. Everyone?s a closet food blogger ;)

Another one to cross off the Toronto restaurant list! And unlike last time, this local spot gets two thumbs up. One thumb for the awesome food, a second thumb for our waiter, who was wearing a Vandelay Industries t-shirt ;)

Question of the Day: What?s your favourite brunch item? Mine is the ?Peggy?s Poached? from Cora?s. One egg on toast with cottage cheese and a plethora of fresh fruit. Oh yes, and multiple coffee refills.
