From the East Coast Grill circa 2008. Gburski’s Latin brunch was ahead of its time, man. Grilled tropical fruit. Ribs in spicy sauce. Half a dozen clams.
Tortilla rellena, in roasted tomato salsa, stuffed with smoked duck and melted jack cheese. Cuban Reuben. Breakfast platter “in the style of the Yucatan.”
Beyond endless coffee, there was Brian shucking an oyster into your self made cocktail from the Bloody Mary bar, the Eggman, Verna’s Donuts, John making liquados dangerously, guest appearances by dinner servers Dave, Tina, Brenda, and when Christa, Shokoh, Jess and the brunch captain teamed up to form the best team ever, there were a few brunches that Gburski and friends made happen that were real magic.
Yaaaaassss!! Such good times and good food! Though I’m happy having my gentleman not work brunch anymore (but I get to reap the benefits of all that egg mastery whenever he makes us breakfast)! š
“In the style of the Yucatan”: I think of this often.
