Eat: Eggs and Eggs
Friday, February 12th, 2010 at 6:15 pmUnlike Google Street View Day, it was a cold and blustery February Sunday at a nearly empty restaurant.
The best thing I ate since last report: truffle egg toast with bottarga during brunch at ‘inoteca on the Lower East Side.
I can’t say that this is a great brunch spot (it was a last-minute pick). It felt like breakfast was an afterthought tacked on to a (probably good) dinner spot: the menu is short on A.M. comfort food, and something as simple as morning coffee seemed foreign (you’ll get Lavazza espresso served Americano).
THAT SAID, the truffle egg toast with bottarga is delicious. Crunchy toast yields to perfectly soft eggs with a delightful hint of truffle oil. The optional bottarga adds a nice complimentary texture. Yum.
PS: In DC, Pizzeria Paradiso offers something very similar in pizza form.
