Even skinny hipsters
need comfort food after their model girlfriends leave them for another moody
musician. Thankfully, Mama’s Food Shop has been cooking up soul food (and
possibly mending broken hearts) in the East Village since 1995.
When we think “comfort
food” we usually imagine a heavy dinner on a cold, rainy night. But, how about
comfort food for brunch? Mama’s Fried Chicken and Waffles will erase your
hangover pangs. Three pieces of crispy chicken paired with waffles smothered in
cayenne honey butter make for a savory and sweet indulgence. You’ll literally
be licking your fingers and sucking on the bones, to the embarrassment of your
dining companion.
The Biscuits and
Gravy, served with a potato hash, are garlicky without being overwhelmingly so.
Fluffy biscuits are smothered in white gravy, leaving no need to use more than
your fork to dig in.
Addicted to caffeine?
Start your early afternoon right on the weekends at Mama’s as they’re proudly
serving Intelligentsia Coffee.
If you’re stopping by
for dinner, like most East Village neighbors, don’t miss Mama’s Bacon Wrapped
Meatloaf with a heaping scoop of Macaroni and Cheese to forget your unrequited
love or just to plain ole’ cheat on your diet.
Mama’s Food Shop. 200 East 3rd Street.
