Quick trip back to Love Handle. Met my friend Suzanne and had a little smorgasbord of treats.

My favorite thing was the straight up (vegetarian) biscuits and gravy. Last time I had this with meat and an egg added, and I have to say, I loved the pure flavor of the mushroom-based gravy on its own. It was delicious. And pickled onions on top. Very nice. I would eat this again and again.
The last thing we had was by far the prettiest, and the most unusual—it was “buck rarebit” ($6) which was a nice piece of bread topped with melted fontina cheese, shiitake pate, raspberry preserves, and a pickled egg yolk. Look how pretty. We were more split on this one….while I loved the runny yolk, I thought the sweetness of the preserves dominated the dish. Suzanne loved the sweetness with the cheese and egg. I guess it just depends on how much you go in for jam.
A very cool place (and I mean that figuratively and literally—the place is darn cold on a cold day) with super nice people doing super interesting dishes. The prices are very reasonable as well. I love that there are eggs all over the menu too. Check it out.

I haven't been yet, but that vegetarian biscuits and gravy dish is calling my name!
