Wild Mountain Cafe (Phinny Ridge)

We were tired. I’d just gotten off work (I work nights) and I wanted something comforting. My boyfriend wanted eggs. We went to Wild Mountain.
I have never ever had a bad meal there. In fact, I have had damn straight good food everytime. The inside is like my great-aunt’s dining room–big solid wooden chairs, bright sunlight flooding in through the windows. The food is a perfect mix of organic local produce and comfort food. Macaroni and cheese, omelets, eggs benedict, lamb stew. It’s always a hard choice.
We sat down at a green and blue tiled table toward the back and I ordered the BLT. How could I resist Niman Ranch bacon with local tomatoes? And this one came with avocado. My boyfriend hesitated, thinking about those avocados. He could live on avocados. Instead he went for the breakfast burrito with green chili and homemade salsa. I ordered a lemonade and was amazed. Real lemonade, with small bits of lemon. I drank it in 5 minutes, like a little kid. He sipped on his coffee.
At a nearby table a 6 month old threw his rattle on the floor and gurgled. At another table, two construction workers ambled in and ordered coffee. “Is Mary working they asked?” It felt like a small town diner.
The BLT was amazing, that mix of crispy salty bacon and fresh tomatoes was just what I needed. The burrito was good, but heavier, a little too eggy.
We paid our tab and left, off to a good nap. But we’ll be back. And maybe next time I’ll get the eggs benedict. With spinach. And more bacon.
