Fiddler's Elbow


Fiddler's Elbow is a bar located in SugarHouse. They happen to serve breakfast there, and to my great delight, I was carded when we walked in the door. I enjoyed that feeling for about 30 seconds, until I realized that because it's a bar, here in Utah they are required to card everyone. Dangit. Here I thought maybe they actually thought I needed to be carded.

Though our booth was comfortable and the service was friendly and prompt, the building was cold. I needed my coffee just to try and stay warm! 

We ordered, and soon our breakfast arrived. As usual, Kelly went straight for her side of sauce to try it out. She was shocked! The sauce was very bizarre; it tasted kind of fruity and sweet. We're not sure what was in it, but after trying that we thought this might be a problem. However, with the egg and muffin it wasn't as fruity or sweet and tasted a lot better. The rest of the dish was delightful: the muffin was perfect. It wasn't soggy, it was beautifully toasted and so good – how it’s supposed to be. The bacon was perfectly sliced and the perfect thicknes, and seared a bit so it was really crunchy too. The egg is cooked just right – a little bit hard like Kelly likes it, but still runny. Though the sauce was odd and fruity, it was very light and fluffy and not too heavy. The net result was that it was quite satisfying as a whole. We considered giving it a 7, but the sauce was just a little too weird, and so we decided it is 6 leggs out of 10. With all the other superior alternatives in town (Market Street, Ruth's Diner, and Eggs in the City), we doubt we'll be back here.
