Same with Another Broken Egg, sure glad they will be opening here, love the place, but... is it like when there were only two locations and it was such a delight to get to Charleston for such a special restaurant (to us it was equal to a New Orleans brunch !), but, like Portillos, it will be a nice addition !
They were good until Dick sold out to a Boston investment firm. Haven't been to a non-chicago location since before the Pause. At the very least, the food will be better than the place in Leesburg and the atmosphere a hundred times better.
