Tasty Nest, gotta love the name first off. I mean, come on, don't you always picture your breakfast eggs in the bird's nest? It's oh so appetizing! I guess it's not that surprising, given that the place itself is named Pork Store Cafe. But beyond the whole "nest" concept, the "tasty" part is pretty accurate. You gotta love grease though, and chances are you won't be hungry til dinner. Bacon, eggs, cheese, hash browns, mmmm... So if you can handle all that grease you'll be good to go, because the ingredients all blend together into this hearty, meaty, cheesy goodness (needless to say, great for hangovers). The onions were caramelized nicely and worked with the bacon to supply most of the flavor. The hashed browns alone are normally crispy, but under the "nest", turned out a little mushier than I prefer. Their hash browns, though perfectly crispy on both sides, are very oily, so that's where this dish gets all its grease from. They went a bit overboard on the green peppers, plus they were a little too crunchy and could have been cooked more. The tomatoes were slightly overcooked and were turning into mush. And the eggs--well--let's just say I ordered them over-medium and they came out over-easy and I had to send them back. This is a common inconsistency at the Pork Store, where I never know if today I'll be sending my eggs back or not. It can get a little frustrating, and that's why I don't come here as much as I used to. But when I do, I like to get down with the Tasty Nest or the french toast.
