As we know all too well I have an obsession with brunch. Well pair Sunday Brunch with a Sunday baseball game and I am happy. Now, if said baseball game was a Tiger game I would in heaven. Brunch + Tiger baseball = KJ heaven. Now if you threw a pair of new heels in there I perhaps would then need to enter into indentured servitude that the person who made all of that happen.
Sunday funday started with an invite to the Rockies/Reds baseball game which then turned into brunch beforehand (score!). I had suggested Dixon’s but much to my surprise Elissa informed me they had closed. How in the hell does a brunch place in Denver close? And Dixon’s?!? The food was pretty good(from what I can remember the 2 times I’ve been), and the location for baseball games was ideal. After some digging (thank you yelp) I come to find out they decided not to renew their lease.
What was Dixon’s loss was Steuben’s gain. Steuben’s is a great lil place in Uptown, which is always packed. Think retro 50’s meets modern foodie meets Denver = Steuben’s. Comfort food that takes you back to home but is still worthy enough for a foodie.
It was so hard to choose what I wanted from this menu. I was torn between a benedict (big surprise), veggie burrito, breakfast chili rellenos, heuvos rancheros and skillet French toast. Seriously, too many choices! I ALWAYS go for eggs benedicts. I HAD to get something different. I went for the French toast. I am not a big French toast eater at all, but caramel and granola were calling my name!
When we got our food, I am pretty sure Chad told me I wasn’t allowed to eat it because it was too pretty! Indeed, it was pretty…pretty delicious. As soon as I took my first bite with warm drippy caramel and some fresh better, my sugar pleasure centers in my brain were in over load! I knew there was no way I could finish all three French toast stack, oh but I did! I was in a sugar coma for hours! But oh so worth it.
J got the chicken and waffles. I have never seen him eat fried chicken before, let alone with waffles! I don’t think I will ever get the south 😉 Thank goodness Katie got the eggs benedict, so I could stare longingly at her plate. The serving was seriously huge!
Food was great! Coffee was superb as everyone kept draining their mugs! Company was excellent! Go to Steubens! Oh and way to go Rockies for the win!
GO TIGERS!!!!!
