| Fox & Goose Mimosa Menu |
Location: The Fox & Goose
Food Rating (out of 10): 4
Drinks Rating (out of 10): 9
Ambiance and Service Rating (out of 10): 8
Food we tried: Benedict Arnold (Eggs Benedict), New Yorker Omelet
Drinks we tried: 2 Beers which were apparently good but I couldn't tell you what they're called, The Duchess (Pomegranate and Pineapple juice mimosa), Washington Apple Mimosa (Cranberry juice, apple pucker, champagne)
Ben was not happy with the Benedict Arnold, but after the Eggs Benedict at The Shady Lady, I don’t think Ben is going to be happy with any other Eggs Benedict. The Canadian bacon and eggs were not too flavorful. The omelet was my second choice after the quiche that was posted on the specials menu was changed like one minute before I ordered. I was reasonably happy with the omelet, but I was happier with the fruit salad on the side. The drinks were fantastic. I could see myself becoming a tiny bit plastered and losing an entire day from drinking too much at the Fox & Goose (oh wait that happened), because they have a MIMOSA MENU. Next time I come here, I’ll prepare by being hydrated and travel on foot. And I’ll order 3 different mimosas with sides of bacon and an English muffin. Our waiter was attentive and I got to glance at college football scores from our table. Tips: 1) Don’t order food, unless it’s that quiche I wanted, and then tell me how it tasted. It had feta cheese, basil, tomatoes, and swiss cheese. 2) Appoint a designated driver.
Don't worry, Ben and I redeemed our disappointing food with a trip to The Shady Lady the next day. Apparently we weren't the only ones whose brunch cravings weren't satisfied by Fox & Goose, because we spotted a couple from Fox & Goose at The Shady Lady the very next day.
At the risk of hugely underestimating what is a big deal, I strongly dislike geese. If I were still in school and I had to write one of those "How I Spent My Summer" essays, it would be a 20 page description of my failed and semi-failed attempts at keeping geese out of a wild rice plot at work, along with the physical and emotional turmoil that accompanied these efforts. Geese are smarter than every animal ever. I think they can smell the presence of an attentive human being, because geese are present if and only if I am not there. I proved this fact over the summer via probablistic proof or proof by exhaustion, along with a lemma that says I've lost my mind. Example: Fox & Goose almost lost my business because of its name. But then I remembered the song "The Fox" by Nickel Creek:
The Fox and his Wife, without any strife
They cut up the goose with a fork and a knife
And they never had such a supper in their life
And the little ones chewed on the bones-o, bones-o, bones-o
They never had such a supper in their life
And the little ones chewed on the bones
They cut up the goose with a fork and a knife
And they never had such a supper in their life
And the little ones chewed on the bones-o, bones-o, bones-o
They never had such a supper in their life
And the little ones chewed on the bones
Can I get a purchase order for one family of foxes please? Just kidding.
