We hit Milktooth, 534 Virginia Avenue for a late breakfast on a Saturday. It is NOT in a strip mall (PRAISE THE LORD!) but in what used to be an auto repair garage. It is very nicely decorated inside, and they have a few outdoor tables, too. The place has a kind of hipster/yuppie kind of vibe, and being the more plebeian working-class guy I consider myself to be, I didn't want to like it. The parking lot is kind of small (there is street parking out on Virginia) but luckily we were able to navigate past all the Subaru Crosstreks and Mercedes G420s and find a space for our Dodge. And that is almost the last negative thing I can say about the place: Despite being busy, they seated us promptly, waited on us promptly, and brought our food much sooner than "promptly". I had the Red Coarse-ground Appalachian Grits with Bacon ($9) and TLW had a Pecan Sticky Bun ($7). I had coffee, of which they had several blends available ($3 to $5). Everything was very, very good... what there was of it. My bowl of grits was smaller than any cereal bowl we have at home, although it was garnished with a fair amount of green onions (or were they chives?) and the bits of applewood bacon were thick cut and delicious. The Pecan Sticky Bun was smaller than your average Cinnabon but was almost as thick and had a nice amount of pecans. It was baked perfectly, was very tasty, and was almost worth the $7. The coffee was excellent, too. All in all it was very tasty, so I guess I can recommend you eat there... and if you're still hungry when you leave, you can always go down the block to The Peppy Grill for a heaping mess of greasy spoon diner food.... Thus sayeth the Old Fat Guy!
