There are two things that FoodFash doesn’t particularly enjoy: restaurant reviews and committing to a single favorite.  For reasons as simple as food is personal, company kept is critical to a dining experience, and I can {sometimes} be fickle – reviews and a single favorite are just not typical FoodFash offerings.

But today, as I sit here looking through my Instagram library, I can’t help but notice I have a clear favorite in the brunch department.  Josephine House has become my go-to spot, and here’s why:

– I rarely order the same thing twice.  This is a huge feat for a restaurant, to get me out of a dish rut.  If I really, really love a dish, I’m most likely going to order it every time.

– The dishes are unique.  Forget your typical eggs benedict, shrimp & grits, and pancakes, Josephine House’s menu is full of dishes that you’ll only find at Josephine House.  Check out the menu!  It’s creative and adventurous and I never leave thinking “I could have made this better at home”.

– Cucumber gimlet.  Theirs is of the best I’ve had and they never flinch at my off-menu order.

– Ambiance.  Whether seated indoors or out, I feel like I’m on vacation whenever I arrive.  Maybe this is why I bring every visitor that comes my way to brunch here?

– Location.  It’s a mere three blocks from my house and I love walking through my neighborhood and arriving at such an adorable spot.

As far as FoodFash dish recommendations go, I’ll always order something savory and egg-topped.  I’ve been digging their grit-equivalent dishes {polenta in the middle picture and farro in the bottom picture}.  And the steak and eggs is definitely worthy of being a rotating regular.
