"And in the Mornin' I'm eatin' Waffles" : Jack Flaps

If you're in Cleveland Ohio, you will find Jack Flaps.
A place that just may have you doing back flaps.. I mean back flips...


Jack Flaps is a hip breakfast and brunch spot right outside of downtown. 



The inside of this restaurant is modern, and they have a few cool photographs strewn across the walls of what appears to may be the owners. The photo's seem to bring the place life. We really enjoyed them!

After arriving we found the place to be full of people, and a bunch of people were waiting outside. We were told there would be a wait.

So, we waited. There wasn't much space for waiting and definitely not any seating. If I were to make any suggestions for the restaurant it would be to make some more room! Not always possible though.

While waiting we scoured over the brief menu. They have quite a few interesting plates. Seth had a hard time picking between the Benedicto Mexicano and the shrimp and grits. Finally, he decided he would try the Mexican inspired dish, and I didn't want to pass up the beautiful waffles they offer!




We were finally seated at the bar, with a few others. And we were brought out our plates briefly after.

Benedicto Mexicano



All you Mexican food fans out there, ready yourselves for an awesome one of a kind breakfast dish.

Mexican Eggs Benedict! This dish consists of Jalapeno corn bread, topped with Chorizo Ranchero gravy, Herb Crema, and sunny side up Eggs. 



The chorizo ranchero gravy was loaded with flavor. It had a little bit of kick, but was at perfect level for someone who enjoys spicy food. The gravy had a bold taste of peppers and spices which was definitely appreciated. The cornbread was the best thing about this dish. The cornbread had the same flavor as an authentic Mexican corn tortilla, and I thought that was very clever.

The tortilla pulled everything together perfectly, giving it a nice traditional Mexican flavor and still playing the part of a breakfast dish at the same time, which was a beautiful flavor hybrid.

I definitely recommend this dish to anyone who likes their breakfast with a little spicy twist.

Raspberry Crisp Waffle



This fluffy waffle was covered with raspberry coulis, vanilla mascarpone, and granola.



It was a decent Waffle that had a lot of different textures you don't normally find with other Waffles. The Waffle itself was fluffy which isn't always a good thing, but it wasn't a bad thing either. The tang of the raspberry went well with the granola. A little more crispness on the Waffle would have been great, but no complaints. We both enjoyed how beautifully presented it was!



Jack Flaps is definitely a new age breakfast restaurant that has plenty of food you might not find in very many locations.

Our Tasty Taste Test meter votes that we would give this restaurant another try! Just make sure that you're not in a hurry, because with great tastes also sometimes comes a longer wait. 

Until our next foodie adventure, Tasty~

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 ...

Roosters, it's an Ohio thing!

We are so proud to be from Ohio for so many reasons, and Roosters being one of them!  Roosters is a restaurant that only 'Ohioans' or Ohio visitors know about. It's not a five star fancy schmansy restaurant, just a tasty and fun place to eat at on a weekend or after a long days work. The famous slogan really speaks for itself "A fun, casual, joint", but it doesn't happen to mention the delicious food they have available!  We are regular Rooster customers, we usually go a couple of times a month. We usually stick with our favorites from the menu, but you really can't go wrong with anything they have to offer. Whether it's the loaded nachos, a burger, or their tender boneless wings dipped in your choice of TOP OF THE LINE wing sauce, you wont be disappointed. Most of the time we go with the boneless wings drenched in tangy sweet Thai chili sauce. The quality of the meat is unbeatable, but the big kicker for us is the sauce. The sweet...

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 ...
