Starting this Sunday, September 29, Lucky’s Last Chance is unleashing a brunch menu we’re sure you’re going to love. The launch will be in conjunction with a Southern Tier Brunch Time Tap Takeover. Read on for the full list of brunch delights, which will be available from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.!
Breakfast Burger: A former burger of the month, the Breakfast Burger gives you sweet, savory, breakfast and lunch in one convenient package. In other words, it might be the world’s most perfect brunch food. Texas Toast prepared in the French style houses Lucky’s award-winning cheeseburger, a fried egg and country sausage. Maple syrup is served on the side in case you want to eat this with your hands, but we’d recommend a generous pour of the sweet stuff and a fork and knife. Your hangover never stood a chance.
Bananas Foster French Toast: Just like mom used to make, if your mom was a pastry chef and liked to cook with rum and Grand Marnier. Thick French toast topped with a bananas foster sauce and served with Grand Marnier whipped cream, because sometimes you need dessert for breakfast.
Bourbon Bacon Pancakes: Incorporating bacon AND bourbon into the batter of these pancakes makes for a highly efficient brunch dish. Not that you shouldn’t supplement them with a Bloody Mary anyway.
Lucky’s Sausage Gravy & Biscuits: Farm fresh breakfast sausage in a house made southern style white gravy over two amazing bacon fat painted biscuits provided by Lucky’s favorite little cupcake shop, Sweet Elizabeth’s.
Chicken Cheese Biscuit Sammich: Another gem featuring Sweet Elizabeth’s bacon fat biscuits. Sandwiched between them is a double-battered boneless fried chicken breast topped with cheddar cheese, and you can also add a side of sausage gravy to pour over the top. It’s enough to make a Southerner do the reverse carpetbagger.
Bacon, Egg n’ Cheeseburger: One of man’s greatest achievements was taking breakfast off the plate and putting it onto the bun. Lucky’s improves on this with the addition of a hamburger patty, thereby eliminating all indecision about whether to have breakfast or lunch.
Tots: Lucky’s offers up its tots plain, topped with chili and cheese or bathed in the house signature Old Bay–scented Main Street cheese sauce.
In addition to the full-time menu, there are two more fall offerings:
Pumking Pancakes: Griddle Master Kyle Murphy adds an entire pint of Southern Tier Pumking to his pancake batter, giving these fluffy flapjacks a copper hue and flavors of the fall.
Porkroll Express Dog: A hot dog made of pork roll, wrapped in cheese and topped with an over-easy egg. Enough said.
Following the launch, the brunch menu will be available Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Give it a try, and let us know what you think!
