From a press release:
“From The Fried Rice Collective’s Chef/Owners Scott Drewno and Danny Lee, comes I Egg You, a new full-service breakfast and lunch destination that takes the humble egg from pop-up to official brick-and-mortar. I Egg You will offer a menu of creative stuffed breakfast sandwiches using locally sourced ingredients from trusted local purveyors such as Shilla Bakery, Logan Sausage, Ivy City Smokehouse, and La Colombe Coffee.
I Egg You will offer a larger menu
than is currently available at the pop-up operating out of the Capitol Hill – ChiKo location. Guests can indulge in mouth-watering hearty breakfast sandwiches such as the You Bacon Me Crazy, the Ribeye Steak & Egg with A1 aioli and caramelized onions, or the open-faced Lox of Love with smoked salmon, capers, and deviled egg spread. Lunch sandwiches include the ‘Which Came First, The Chicken Or The Egg,’ which combines Herby Chicken Salad & The Devil’s Egg Salad; pork tonkatsu with green cabbage and curry dipping sauce; and a turkey club sandwich featuring both roasted turkey and turkey rillette.
“We are thrilled to offer the Capitol Hill community something new and exciting,” says Chef Drewno. “We want to create a brunch destination that becomes a staple in the community, where people can gather and enjoy great food with warm, attentive service.”
The 1,800 square foot space is designed to seat 60 people and offers breakfast and lunch seven days per week. There is a full-service bar (think every breakfast cocktail under the sun) and a specialty coffee and tea program. In the evening, the chameleon-like space transforms into a private event venue for fine dining dinners, fundraisers, and special occasion celebrations.
For those looking for a delightful breakfast and lunch experience where eggs take center stage and local flavors come together, I Egg You is the perfect destination.
To celebrate the Grand Opening of our new location in Capitol Hill, there will be a SPECIAL GIVEAWAY! The FIRST 50 GUESTS on both Saturday and Sunday will be treated to a FREE coffee! And that’s not all – on your next visit, I Egg You will provide a complimentary mouth-watering sandwich! Be sure to be there when doors open November 18th!
