Southern Creole Cooking a Mile High

Well it has been over a month since my last post, my bad yo. I have been to a place that we need to talk about. Lucile's at 275 S. Logan (a little north of Alameda on Logan) other locations include Boulder and Fort Collins. Lucile's brings a taste of southern creole cooking to the metro area. With a variety of creole inspired dishes that are sure to please the most deeply rooted southern gentleman and the prettiest southern belle. My breakfast favorites include the Eggs Jennifer which has an English muffin, spinach, tomato, avocado, and poached eggs covered in hollandaise, served with grits or potatoes, and a biscuit. The crowning jewel of the breakfast menu for me is the Pain Perdu, this southern version of french toast is to die for. The crusty bread is cut to a medium thickness dipped in a savory sweet egg mixture and cooked to a light golden brown, served with fresh fruit, one egg, and a Louisiana hot sausage link. There is no maple syrup on this table, the Pain Perdu is served with this sweet cinnamon buttery syrup that has a taste and a place in my heart all its own. Lucile's is always busy for breakfast on the weekends (no reservations) so expect a long wait, but do not let that sway your decision to enjoy Lucile's, for they have the best bloody mary's in town not to mention the Cuban OJ MMMMMM!

To another point it is summer here in the Mile High City take some time to gaze out at the mountains, watch the kids in the park, walk the 16th street mall, go to Water World, or watch the surprisingly competitive Rockies in an afternoon game in the middle of the week. The Denver area is home to some great parks, restaurants, shopping and activities take a minute to enjoy some of them. Talk to you soon.
