Breakfast at Cascone's

I had breakfast at Cascone's in the River Market this weekend.

It was a dank, rainy Saturday morning. Even at 6:30 AM, the place was pretty busy. The waitress was friendly, and the coffee was really quite good. That's one thing that always scores points in my book. Why is it so many places that have really good breakfasts have coffee that tastes like dishwater? But not the case here.... it was hot, robust, and she kept the creamer coming!

I had 2 eggs over easy, country sausage, hash browns and toast. Everything was nicely done, especially the hash browns. They were not cooked to a total crisp, but not soggy in the middle either. The toast was FABULOUS! It's made from slices of Italian bread 3/4 of an inch thick at least, and really smothered with butter. It came out first, and there were more than the usual 2 slices on the plate. YUM! The sausage was good, but just a bit on the mild side for my taste. Next time there, I'll probably go back to the Italian sausage, which is one of my favorites.

All in all, it was a good breakfast on a cold, wet, and dreary October morning. Just what is needed to start such a day out with a little bit of cheer.
