Elizabeth's

Went to Elizabeth's in the bywater yesterday for breakfast. It was my first time there since the Thing. The place is a little different, the bar is upstairs (I didn't go look, heck, it was just breakfast!).

The coffee was good, dark and strong. Had to get the praline bacon since it had been so long. It was yummy. Not as thick a cut of bacon that I remember but good.

I had the Eggs Aborgine (sp?) which was poached eggs on fried eggplant with a holandaise/mushroom gravy and a side of potatoes. My DC had the shrimp and grits. Both were excellent but I liked mine better.

I was worried driving over that the place might be packed but it wasn't at all. Only about 50% the whole time we were there.

With tip it was a $40 breakfast.

Bacon

December 6 2006, 12:44 AM 

Took my husband there a few weeks ago, we loved it and had two orders of the bacon (along with our cholesterol meds!) 

I think it is a brown sugar and pecan mixture. the waiter said the goal was to take it out right before it turns brown. I guess because it keeps cooking.  I assume you should mix butter and brown sugar, sprinkle with chopped pecans and put under the broiler.

I never got around to this praline bacon method. Sorry, too much going on for me lately.

Elizabeth's process is to grind together the pecans and brown sugar. Fry the bacon on one side, pouring off excess grease. Turning bacon the pecan/sugar mixture is added to the pan, caramelized and the bacon finished off.
