Savannah<\/a> is one of my favorite cities, and luckily it’s inhabited by one of my favorite (and only) brothers, so I get to visit fairly often.\u00a0 Most recently I spent the night in Savannah on my way to Richmond, VA and was able to partake in one of the best road trip breakfast ever at The Funky Brunch Cafe<\/a>!\u00a0 Of course it’s probably pretty good for non-road trip brunches as well.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The interior of the Funky Brunch Cafe is playful and full of bright colors and paintings of spatulas,<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n but the best thing about the Funky Brunch Cafe is their griddled tables for the “Flippin’ Funky at the Table” pancakes.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Pick your batter (buttermilk, gluten-free, or whole wheat) and then choose your toppings (fruit, nuts, peanut butter, chocolate… you name it) and knock your self out!\u00a0 I went with buttermilk batter with pecans and coconut to mix in, I think it was a pretty solid choice if you’re looking for a recommendation.<\/p>\n We all started off playing it safe with basic round pancakes.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Of course the batter comes in a handy ketchup-esque squirt bottle, so it wasn’t long before we started experimenting with shape, size, when to add the toppings, etc.\u00a0 The results were well…. mixed.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Then I had a breakthrough.\u00a0 Oscar Wilde wrote that “only dull people are brilliant at breakfast.”\u00a0 I usually take Oscar Wilde’s word as gospel, so I don’t know what this says about me, but I created my greatest work to date.\u00a0 I give you the pancake pup, my proudest creation.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Good news for those of you salivating over this, I made this after I was already full and left it at the restaurant, which of course means you can probably find it on ebay now.\u00a0 Just look at that art!\u00a0 Whatever you pay for it, it’s not enough.\u00a0 However in the spirit of full disclosure, I got so excited about my work of art that I forgot to put the coconut and pecans in, so it’s just a plain buttermilk pancake.\u00a0 Still worth it.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n I’m not saying I’m some sort of pancake prodigy (I’ll leave that to posterity), but one of these people is currently attending a big fancy art school and the other is entirely self taught.<\/p>\n
