A new restaurant named L’ecosse moved into the neighborhood! It’s a Scottish (and a little French) place, owned by a guy who cooked for President Clinton. They are not officially open yet, but we’ve already been there twice in one week. Stacy recommended the place and mentioned they had meat pies, two words very dear to my heart. First time there, I ordered the meat pie (duh), the crust was fried (authentically Scottish) and there was ground beef goodness inside and all of it was covered by a delicious gravy and surrounded by hand cut fries. Too bad I was so hungry I ate it before I took a picture. I ate every last bite like a piggy.
We went again for brunch this morning and get this, I had an omelet… with a fried egg in the middle… and sliced hard boiled egg on top… AND it was slathered in hollandaise sauce. I ordered it with scottish sausage in the omlet, as well as cheddar cheese and peppers. It was so delicious and I think I ate 6 eggs total (2-3 egg omlet, 1 fried egg, 1 hard boiled egg, and 1 egg for hollandaise… right?) Sorry I only took an iphone picture. I ate every last bite like a piggy.
We met the chef too at the end of our meal, he’s a really cool guy. I suggested that he should top the ultimate omlet with a scottish egg, and he said that’s exactly what he’s planning! I can’t wait for more scottish goodness. He told us that haggis will be on the appetizer menu soon, I’ve never tried it so I’m excited to give it a go.
