Mother’s Day brunch. Everyone does it, whether it’s a home cooked meal for mom or a fancy schmansy buffet at $30 – $40 a pop. Either way, this is pretty much expected on the day we celebrate the woman in our lives who brought us to… life. Well this Mother’s Day, my siblings and I skipped the cooking and brought our wonderful mom to 50 South.
50 South is a place near and dear to our hearts. First off, Kim Klopstock (owner and chef at 50 South) catered my brother’s recent wedding which was phenomenal. Second, she’s brought this restaurant to life with her creative culinary dishes and use of local produce and vendors in everything she makes. For these reasons, it’s easy to love the place. Oh right, and the food is exceptional as well.
Getting back to the Mother’s Day festivities, the menu provided two options, the brunch buffet for $20 per person which is pretty reasonable, especially for Mother’s Day, or anything off of the regular menu. While everyone in my family opted for the buffet, I of course had to be difficult and order off of the menu. I chose the western omelet, with ham, diced onion, green peppers and cheddar cheese.
I’ve gotta admit, for $8 dollars it doesn’t get much better than this. The omelet was HUGE, I would say at least 3-4+ eggs made up that bad boy. Not to mention the egg was super fluffy and the perfect texture for an omelet. The inside was abundant with sharp and tangy cheddar cheese and the veggies and ham were flavorful but not overpowering. I also would like to point out the homemade salsa on the side which was great on it’s own. I’m not one to dip my omelet’s in things, but I found myself eating the salsa just with a fork. Nom.
In addition to my meal, my family was quite pleased with their buffet selections, including KK’s famous french toast, smoked salmon, fresh fruit, bacon, sausage and so much more. It’s no secret that my mom had an AWESOME mother’s day and I’d like to give partial credit to 50 South and partial credit to her favorite child, me!
Happy Belated Mother’s Day to all you mom’s out there!
