BF and I went to our local gourmet grocery store - Balducci's - for breakfast this morning. We gave it mixed reviews.
On the plus side, they serve Illy Cafe - so what could be better, I ask you?!. On the downside, everything at Balducci's is gourmet. Unfortunately, there are some things in life that just shouldn't be made in a gourmet fashion. An Egg McMuffin is one of them. Sure we had delicious English muffins, finest quality eggs, cheese that was to-die-for and scrumptous smoked bacon... but somehow it was too much. I must admit we probably would have been better off with an Egg McMuffin at McD's. I'll stick to Balducci's for the coffee, though. I also enjoy their soup and salad bar at lunch. Of course, their gourmet prepared food for take-out or catering it out of this world. So go there for gourmet... not fast food.
Thanks for the review. That's where Hay Day used to be, right? I've been meaning to stop by there and check it out.
