You know that scene in the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey" when Frank Poole is in the spacesuit at the end of the movie and is going into the black hole monolith thing, and sees the space baby that gives him enlightenment into the next dimension?
Yeah, imagine you are Frank Poole, you are actually there, and the space baby that brings you to a higher plane of existence is breakfast.
Yes. Breakfast.
But not just any breakfast. The breakfast nirvana that awaits you is Scoozi's at Howe and West Hastings. This is run by a Greek guy who takes breakfast to epic places.
I ordered the breakfast pizza which is one of those things that looks good on paper but never works out. In Scoozi's world (actually his name is Michael) a breakfast pizza is a home run freaking perfect little guy that has all breakfast ingredients but with a spinach based sauce and a tiny bit of char on the crust and top and is the opposite of greasy and heavy.
Pardee ordered a salmon Benedict which is usually either really good or really bad, but this one was neither. It was hands down the best Benedict I have ever tasted, with a hollandaise that was more of an aoli, sushi grade salmon, and eggs that were timed down to the second. With the Benedict was charred and herbed lemon potatoes (naturally) that were so good that I haven't a hope in hell of replicating them, and a beautiful tiny fruit plate that looked like it took twenty minutes to put together.
We finished with a spanikopita deconstruction with a filling of apples, oatmeal, and marscapone (I think) which, like that hot girl with the funny laugh you pick up in the bar, sounds so wrong but tastes so right.
I always brag that the mark of a good breakfast is one that's better than mine; not only was this better than mine it's better than I could *ever hope* to make. The unbelievable skill shown in the food is what prompted me to write this review, and I hope this guy makes millions of dollars and never leaves this location. My last request on my deathbed will be breakfast from Scoozi's.
Breakfast is the Space Baby.
FABULOUS food and great price! The service was top notch and would highly recommend heading here for brunch, lunch and dinner!
Actually the best breakfast I've ever had, and I've eaten many things. If you're near this place go and get the salmon Benedict asap!!
