Breakfast Time at Table 1





Being Ohio natives we were happy to find an independent restaurant near us. It had
Great decor, and the restaurant itself had a visually fun and hip/modern look (no surprise here.. most small businesses take this role). The lighting was at a relaxing level, they placed numbers above the tables to try and give a unique look. Enough about the decor though, lets move on to the important Tids!

First things first, drink options. They had a small variety of drinks offering the usual selections - Soda, Water, Tea, O-J, Milk. We decided on getting the Cola, because we had a long drive ahead - we were headed for Amish Country in Millersburg OH. (Blog soon to come..) Our server seemed to be lacking some energy that day as well, I mean it was Saturday. She brought our drinks and we were surprised to see more than a simple cup, Coca-cola served to you in a jar!



Enough mumbo about the drinks though, onward to the main course. We both opted for The eggs Benedict. We were unsure of what to chose, but the server had stated that they are the only ones in town (Lancaster OH) that made their own Hollandaise sauce completely from scratch. Neither of us had tried Holladaise prior, so we weren't really sure what we were to expect.



As pictured you can see it wasn't the most beautiful plated. But it was decent.As for the Hollandaise sauce, we thought it was a little too tangy. But as stated, we weren't to positive as to what it should be like. We want to try more sauces in the future to compare. It just had a tang that we weren't expecting. 

The eggs were Okay, but a little over cooked. When cooking a poached egg the inside should be a liquid, and perfectly yellow. These were only partially liquid, leaving half of the inside to be solid. So the yolk did not pour out when cut (which to me is kind of disappointing).




The hash browns were also decent. It didn't seem they were much different from any other hash browns we have had in the past, no other seasonings or flavors added. The ham was also just "okay". 

So all in all, we do give them credit for making their own sauce, although we were expecting something that was a little better via the servers explanation of how good it was. We definitely would love to go back and give lunch a try. We scoped out the lunch Menu they had placed on the outer window, and it looks interesting. As for a perfect breakfast, this place is probably not what you would be looking for, as for somewhere comfortable and affordable this is it! Easy access and easy options.

    Hollandaise is supposed to be tangy due to the lemon juice in the sauce. I, too, have had the eggs benedict at Table 1 - as well as in many other places and at home - and assure that they are quite delicious. (It's too bad your yolks weren't as runny as you like.) Moreover, I've eaten lunch and dinner at Table 1, plus had their catering. By and large, their food is top-notch - esp. for Lancaster! You should definitely return (and try the smoked tomato bisque!). However, don't expect typical pub grub or diner food. Chef JM is French, has traveled the world, and worked in kitchens all over. He offers comfort food with a bistro twist. I can tell from several of your reviews, that you are still just beginning to cultivate your palette. That's great! Lancaster is incredibly lucky to have talented chefs like JM and unique venues like Table 1 and the Well. Keep tasting, you'll get better at discerning!

Bourbon, burgers, and Bar Louie!

This restaurant may sound familiar to some. We've eaten here before and have never been disappointed with the food or service. Stop into Bar Louie for some great food and and a great late night type of atmosphere, or maybe just after doing a little shopping in the mall.                   Bourbon Bacon Burger Just by looking at the special limited time menu of this burger and many other special sandwiches alike, we knew this burger would be incredibly flavorful. A beautifully cooked meat patty deserves nothing better than a beautifully crafted sauce and delcious toppings to back them up. A perfect meat patty topped with cheddar cheese, bacon, a delcious bourbon sauce and a nice stack of fried onion straws... It's making my mouth water just thinking about it... Unsurprisingly, the look of the burger was astonishing. The juicy patty had a decent portion of crispy onion straws that make the presentation really stick out. The first bite ...

Noodlecat's Dream Buns

If you're strolling through downtown Cleveland we hope you stumble into Noodlecat . Located on Euclid Ave, you will be surrounded by a few different popular restaurants, don't be shy! Try them all! From our experience you can't go wrong. Noodlecat serves up three main options noodles, buns, and veggies. Unfortunately we did not come for noodles on this visit, we came for the Japanese Steam Buns! We picked 2 of the 5 bun options they had available and went with the J-fried Chicken bun and the Fresh bacon bun. These Buns are Japanese white bread sandwiches each topped with lettuce and pickle. For the J-fried Chicken Bun, this soft steam bun has a piece of fried chicken, sweet and spicy power ketchup. At first bite you're in love. The fresh steam buns are amazing. The chicken was crispy, tangy, and delicious but it was no match for the next bun that we tried! The Fresh Bacon Bun was filled with a delicious slice of lightly smoked, sugar ...

Tasty Tidbitt meets Tasty Made

Being owned by Chipotle, Tasty Made is a new burger joint with their first location being built in Lancaster, Ohio. So for the simple fact that we are Ohioans and Chipotle fans, we were very excited for this review and to be one of the first food blogs to review the Tasty Made restaurant. To start off, the decor and atmosphere of the restaurant is much like a Five Guys restaurant with a lot of red and white. It's not really what you expect when you think of Chipotle walking in. The menu was very small which isn't always a bad thing in a restaurant, especially a new one. There is nothing worse than a menu that is simply too large. The menu is basically the Tasty Made Original Burger, Cheeseburger, Hamburger, fresh made fries, milkshakes and sodas. All of the burgers can be ordered with an extra patty, called a double. We decided we would go with their signature burger, which is a meat patty on a bun topped with lettuce, tomato, pickle and their bacon sauce. The ...
