Breakfast for Lunch: Brisket Hash at Rooster (10732 82 Ave.)

Brisket hash with potatoes, caramelized onions, micro greens, and two eggs added. For me, hash has to have eggs. The brisket is perfectly braised with quite a bit of fat. The greens add some lightness to the flavour. This is supposedly a small plate but the portion is quite hefty. (Not complaining.) #yeg #yegfoodie #brunch #yegfood #therooster #yegeats

Breakfast for Lunch: Hash at De Dutch

I stopped in to De Dutch for a late lunch after doing some filming downtown a few days ago. I had the hash, which features a generous portion of the finely diced hash browns mixed with corn, green peppers, tomatoes, and edam cheese (which I held, with two eggs, a protein of choice, and toast. My soft poached eggs were perfect with this, the runny yolk providing a rich sauce in place of the edam. My smoked salmon blended in with the other flavours, which were dominated by the pepper.

Breakfast for Lunch: Diner Hash at Urban Diner

Last month I was out early on a Sunday morning on a filming assignment, and followed it up with brunch at the south side location of Urban Diner. I had been longing to try the Diner Hash, and finally got my wish. The bits of corned beef was generously dispersed amongst hash browns, accented with chopped leeks. Adorning the top were two perfectly medium poached eggs, and a large slab of multi grain toast finished it off. The portion kept me going for the rest of the day on to my next assignment. It was a busy day.

Breakfast for Lunch: Corned Beef Hash at Mill Creek Cafe

I had been to Mill Creek Cafe once before, but too late to try the breakfast menu, which stops at 1 p.m. on weekends.

Fortunately, I got there early enough on Saturday and the huge menu was overwhelming! So many things to try, and many of them not the typical brunch items I would expect. One of them was corned beef hash, served English style with the corned beef, onions, potatoes, and eggs fried together, and served with toast.

The portion filled the circumference of my plate and tasted incredible! The corned beef almost tasted like salty ground beef, with a similar texture. The onions were sweet, the eggs were crispy, and the potatoes were soft. This is definitely a breakfast I would want any time of the day!
