I had just landed in Detroit from my early morning flight. I was starving and wanted to find a local restaurant to grab breakfast. When I was checking out what was in the area, Brooklyn Street Local kept popping up with great reviews from past customers. I decided to check them out.
It was a small place on the inside and it was filling up quickly. One of the things I noticed was their chalk board on the wall. It listed out all of the local farms and establishment where they acquire all the ingredients. I knew from this that I was going to get a really fresh breakfast.
While I looked over their menu I got a mimosa. The orange juice was sweet, which is how I enjoy it. Nothing is worse than sour, bitter orange juice.
I decided to get the poutine for breakfast. I know it sounds strange, but I guess by putting an egg on top it makes it breakfast.
I took the egg off and ate it on the side.
The fresh cut French fries were covered in a mushroom gravy. It was savory and had a few pieces of mushroom throughout. The gravy was not salty at all, which was nice. The salty taste came from the chunks of cheese curd that were tossed in with the fries. The curds did not melt from the gravy, they stayed firm which made it easy to eat with a fork.
This was a great, quick stop for breakfast. The food was fantastic, and the service was fast. I would want to check them out for lunch.
