At My Venues
Double Awesome

"It's a super light, flaky scallion pancake wrapped around poached eggs, cheddar cheese and a local greens pesto. It's messy but fun to eat. Breakfast all day!"
Double Awesome

"They use a scallion pancake as sandwich bread and fill it with pesto, cheese, greens and eggs. Make sure to get it with the spicy ketchup. It's so good I always immediately want another one to go."
