A Stockyard's Brunch

woo! this was a whiles back.. but its a good one.  We finally made our way to the Stockyards earlier this summer.  Clearly a neighbourhood hot spot, we had a short wait just as more people came in behind us.

Known as a smokehouse and bbq joint, the Stockyards serves up meat in all fashions and in plenty, so vegetarians beware.  We heard a lot of great things about this place and made a visit for our favourite meal.

May had the chicken and waffles.  It had a spicey crispy skin and a sweet citrus-y glaze poured all over.  The chicken was very tasty with a unique bold characteristic.  I had the Shirred Eggs which is basically eggs baked in a dish with creamy collard greens, white cheddar and smoked lardons.  Yes, lardons are indeed the fatty parts of bacon and I promise you, it added an amazing richness and saltyness to the dish.  Although a bit decadant, the serving size was appropriate, it was the perfect dish to dip my crusty rye toast into.

We loved the homestyle - open kitchen - neighbourhoody feel of the stockyards, and of course the smokey meaty aroma throughout.  We'll be back very soon!
