Give me my Firebird quiche!

I am now 0 for 2 in my attempt to try a quiche of my choosing at brunch.  First at Fox & Goose and now at Ink's Eats and Drinks.  I ordered a quiche with ham, gruyere cheese, and caramelized onions, and I was served a quiche with tomato, mozzarella, and basil.  It was good, but not what I ordered.  In case you read the title of this post, there's no such thing as a "Firebird quiche."  It's a pun.  Watch the following clip from Say Anything.

Are you the keymaster?

(Runner-up quiche pun: "I just want my [quiche] back!"  from Arrested Development - "I just want my kids back")

The waitress at Ink's Eats and Drinks also took awhile to process our drinks order, and the Halloween decorations were waaaaaay too scary.  I would go here again, but I'll wait and see what kinds of decorations they have for Christmas and proceed with caution.  Ink's has a pretty good looking drink menu, including a bloody mary bar (make your own bloody marys), which I was too intimidated to try.

Speaking of Say Anything, I love 80s movies.  I wonder what popular characters from 80s movies would have for brunch....

Lloyd Dobler (Say Anything): Breakfast burrito i.e. the kickboxing of brunch foods, and a beer.
Heather Chadler (Heathers): Some kind of fancy french toast with a Bellini (and some liquid drainer?)
Duckie Dale (Pretty in Pink): Veggie omelet and coffee, just because
Claire Standish (The Breakfast Club): Eggs Benedict and a mimosa
The Kid (Purple Rain): Steak Salad and Bloody Mary
Lane Meyer (Better Off Dead): bacon, boiled because his mom is crazy
The Thing (The Thing): humans, obviously
Raymond Stantz (Ghostbuster): Stay-Puft marshmallows

Okay now I'm just being ridiculous.  Literature edition of theoretical brunch orders to follow.  Eventually.  After I read some books.
