They ran off my favorite server from the Fox.  Now she's at the Crazy Egg.  Says she's happier.

Same girl I'm thinking of that used to be at Cool Moose? Her and her partner live in R'side?

I'm so bad with names.  The lady I'm thinking of is a little older, heavier set.  Glasses, long brown hair.  She was the only one at the Fox who didn't serve food with a side of needless hipster attitude.  (Which is tolerable at times; I do like the Fox.)

Crazy Egg is a huge upgrade over Dave's diner.  I was in there on opening day and the were running Faux News.  I asked them to switch it and have only seen CNN there since. ;)

And the mini-muffins are delightful.  When they haven't run out of them by 11AM.  Aside from that...

I think her name IS Jackie.  Thanks, Steve.

And, to be fair, Kickbacks has some of the best breakfast food in the historic district.  And you can get it anytime, which is a massive win in my book.  Sometimes breakfast for dinner can't be beat.

Soul Food Bistro has a killer Saturday morning breakfast.  It's hard to go wrong with chicken, waffles, and some of the creamiest grits in town.  It's behind the Winn-Dixie on Normandy, sooo not technically in Riverside/Avondale... but neither is Crazy Egg.

Are there any urban core eateries that are best known for their grumpy management?  I remember that this was the appeal of places like Colonel Mustard's.  For regular customers of those kind of places, it must be a fun way to get a bite to eat.  I wonder, however, how do the uninitiated respond to this kind of service/treatment? 

I was at casa dora downtown waiting for a pizza.  The uy that owns the place laid into one of his staff till the guy was in tears and walked out.  Wasn't very pleasant.

The guy from Col Mustards was the best.

Gotta give props to any place that serves breakfast all day!

I'll second that recommendation!

Every time I go into City Kidz, I beg for them to bring back their chicken and waffles.

I've eaten at Kickbacks maybe 5 million times, but have never eaten breakfast their.  I just never think Kickbacks and breakfast... maybe b/c I don't want to be tempted to drink a beer at 8AM.   ;D

Finally tried Cool Moose for breakfast Sunday.

It was ok.  Nothing spectacular.  I think I'll continue to go to the Fox, Derby House(catfish and grits), Pinegrove(shrimp and grits), Whiteway(Ander special) and Einsteins(where I always eat for under $2 with coupons).

Cool Moose has gone downhill last year or two, I commented on it in another thread. I don't go there anymore either.
