This week in Dining, Megan Seling reviews Steadfast Coffee, the year-old coffeehouse and dining spot in Germantown. She finds tons to love, much of the menu and especially the coffee, which is good news since the Steadfast team just opened a second location, Steadfast Commons, at Third Avenue and Demonbreun, which should appeal to the fun-loving SoBro crowd by also featuring a cocktail menu.
But what really stuns Seling about the menu at Steadfast Coffee is the impeccably poached egg dishes. After admitting that she absolutely can't poach an egg at home, no matter which supposedly tried-and-true method she employs, Seling praises the perfect eggs that Steadfast delivers:
When I say the poached eggs at Steadfast Coffee in Germantown are miracles, know that I'm not just being hyperbolic. To me, they are miraculous — magically contained snow-white orbs cooked so perfectly that the golden yolk is just thick enough to slowly flow all over the top of Steadfast's porridge or made-in-house brioche toast, but not a second before you gleefully pop it with the prong of a fork.
Wow! Pass me a plateful. So how about you, members of Bites Nation: Can you poach an egg? If so, what's your secret? And is there a Benedict or other poached egg creation out there in Restaurant Land that you'd recommend?
And this is the Open Thread, so what else is on your mind this week?
