I have no shame about the fact that I spend most of my week deciding where I want to have brunch. And there’s a newish brunch spot in town that you MUST check out. It’s a little place called Husk. And their brunch is truly a game-changer.
Luckily for me, when I went for the first time, my friend had the same idea and was brunching at the same time as me. She’s friends with the chef and was getting plate after plate, sent to her table. And then texting me under the table to come try a bite of this and that. So I feel confident in my assurance to you that the entire menu is phenomenal, and you cannot order incorrectly.
But here’s a breakdown of what I did eat and nibble on.
To start, we sipped on bloody Marys made with their own bloody Mary mix. Their mimosa looks like the perfect ratio of juice to champagne. Ratios are important people!
We then went with the deviled eggs and the biscuits and gravy. They were beautiful and tasted even better. The perfect plate for sharing...or not. Next up were the biscuits and gravy. And let me just tell you, if you can see the biscuit under the gravy, you are doing it wrong. Get your life together immediately, and pour some more gravy on there.
Now, the entrees all looked delicious, so ordering was a challenge. I went with the chicken fried steak, and my mom, as I planned, went with the omelet.
The omelet I made my mom order was ridiculously soft and creamy. Presented so beautifully, with a soft and delicate middle like omelets should have. I mean, there is even egg foam on top... who thinks of these things??!! It was just so creative and gave the dish that little extra to push it over the top. It’s definitely a lighter choice if that is what you’re looking for from your brunch.
The chicken fried steak was perfect, paired with a hash brown and peppadew relish. The coating on the steak wasn’t too thick, but just enough to give you that fried taste to let you know you aren’t eating something healthy. And that’s what brunch is all about, IMO. Of course, the fried hashbrown is the perfect side. I only wish I had two.
I also had a bite of the burger, another item I was eyeing. I was admittedly intimidated by the two patties that come on it, but after further inspection, I think it’s totally doable. The patties are not super thick and have that delicious caramelization on the outside from a hot griddle. I snuck a bite of my friend’s and can assure you that the burger is a solid choice, if not THE THING you need to try on the menu.
You can’t go wrong with Husk’s brunch menu. So do yourself a *flavor* and get that reservation this weekend. Take all the photos and enjoy all the bites!!!
