Sassafras: American Eatery

Sassafras: American Eatery

 

My favorite breakfast place in Denver is Sassafras American Eatery!

 My favorite location is the one located in a quaint, brick house at 2637 W. 26th Ave., near the highlands neighborhood. The ambiance, combined with the soulful, southern palate is completely satisfying.

Very few places west of the Mississippi can you expect to find shrimp-n-grits done right.

But this place nails it. And they have created a new twist on grits, in the form of grit sticks (kind of like French toast sticks but with grits--delightful).

 

This location feels like southern hospitality on a plate.

 

Make it happen. You wont regret it.

Lucile's Creole Cafe

Freshly warmed beignets.

 



One of my favorite breakfast/brunch spots is Lucile's Creole Café.

 Mmmm..Mmmm...Mmmm...SO GOOD!!

 

Your meal usually starts out with a friendly waitress asking if you want to start with a round of freshly, warmed New Orleans styled beignets (hard to resist).

 

Growing up in the South, I value a scrumptious savory breakfast! I would say that Lucile's specializes in eggs benedict styles, shrimp and grits, and specialty French toast...among other amazing dishes!

But my favorite signature dish is Lucille's sweet potato and crab bisque!! It is lick-the-bowl delicious!!
