Dining Early Birds and Chicken Fingers Flock to Puckett's Downtown
Posted by Carrington Fox on Tue, Mar 15, 2011 at 11:06 AM
In this week's review of the new downtown Puckett's, I may have been a little overexcited about the March breakfast special, which I unintentionally exaggerated — to the chagrin of some customers who arrived at St. Cloud Corner only to discover the half-price promotion ended at 8 a.m. I can only imagine what the morning mob was saying about me behind my back. At least I was probably still asleep.
Correct details are described herein and have been updated in the online version of the review:
Catering to the growing community of downtown dwellers, Puckett's serves a long list of breakfast foods all week from 7 to 11 a.m., including French toast, pork tenderloin and eggs, oatmeal, pancakes and omelets. For the month of March, breakfast platters and omelets are half-price from 7 to 8 a.m., which means you can get two eggs cooked to order, bacon or sausage, grits and a biscuit for less than $3. A weekend breakfast buffet is available from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. with all-you-can-eat eggs, bacon, grits, sausage, biscuits and more for $10 per adult and $6 for kids.
Meanwhile, when general manger Claire Marshall Crowell, daughter of owner Andy Marshall, called my attention to my gaffe, she followed up with this tantalizing tidbit:
I'm happy to also let you know that your article was the final nudge I needed to make the transition to hand-breaded chicken strips. We are switching it over this month.
I'm used to people giving me the finger when I make mistakes — I'm not used to them being as nice to me about it as Claire was. Thanks, Claire, and please forgive the error.
