Zola Bites-A Gourmet Twist on Childhood Diner Favorites

I’m very excited this week because we have made some updates to our menu in the

Silver dollar pancakes

Spy City Café.   We have changed the table top items as well to present more of a diner feel.  As for the menu offerings man they bring me back to the diners of my childhood in Bloomfield NJ.

First how could you go wrong with a Taylor Ham, egg and cheese on a hard roll?  This sandwich, for me, is the best breakfast bite one can have.  Crispy Taylor Ham, from the great state of New Jersey, topped with a fried egg and on slice of good old American cheese.  All of this is served on a freshly baked roll delivered bright and early from our sister restaurant Potenza.

Cheddar Scramble

As if that is not enough we move into the daily specials which can be  anything from maple sausage and egg scramble sliders with cheddar cheese, a  Denver omelette Panini  to breakfast burritos and the list goes on.  Even though It’s hard to turn down the Taylor Ham, every once in a while one must partake in the simple pleasure that is corned beef hash.  Ours is loaded with freshly braised and diced corned beef that has been cured in house from local farmers.  We then have baked potatoes that have been diced, caramelized onions and sautéed red peppers some fresh thyme, butter and sear that mix on the griddle.  No it’s not done yet.  We fry a couple of farm fresh eggs and put those on top and for the finish we dress this pile of love with red pepper ketchup.  Aspen is the place where I first enjoyed this version of non pureed corned beef hash, and I must say the difference is truly great.

All of this said we do have malted waffles, malted pancakes, Swiss and mushroom omelette, cheddar egg scramble and an egg-bacon stuffed croissant sandwich.  That’s all for now but there is more to c
