Mighty Whitey

Over-easy with sage sausage and beef bacon

On Saturday, I went to a new eatery located in Koreatown at Bloor and Euclid called White Brick Kitchen. The room was cozy with both tables and diner-style booths done up in dark wood and chocolate upholstered seats. For brunch, I got the Classic with over-easy eggs and sage sausage ($8) and an intriguing side order of beef bacon ($4).

The eggs were nicely made with the yolk still very soft and runny. The herb potato was lightly fried and toothsome. The loosely packed sausage fell apart in your mouth. The beef bacon was a perfect copy: fatty, crispy, and salty. Only after several chews do you realize that the texture is not the same as pork. This is a great substitute for those not incline toward porcine products.

There were other interesting items on the menu including a southern-fried chicken dish. Given the excellent quality of the brunch, a dinner excursion back to this casual spot is in order.
