FRISCH'S: NEW BREAKFAST ITEMS

One of Cincinnati's famed restaurants is making your morning bigger and brighter as they expand their breakfast menu. Frisch's recently unveiled several new options for your first meal of the day.

Greg Grisanti tells us about his adventures in Frisch's kitchen.

During our tour of Frisch's Commissary, Mr. Frisch's granddaughter, Karen Maier, gave us a sneak peak of the new tastes taking over the menu. Each of the new selections were created in Frisch's kitchen by Greg Grisanti, Director of Research & Development. Ideal for the drive-thru bite on your way to work, not only are these dishes portable, some are even healthy for you!

MY FAVORITE:
Light sausage, egg and cheese sandwich on a thin wheat muffin.
Full-flavor, less calories!

I'm not a breakfast burrito fan, but this zesty order changed my mind!

The classic sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit.

Of course, the one question everyone is hungry to ask Karen and Greg:

What's your favorite thing?

Karen loves the chili pasta, but also notes that "There is nothing like a hot Big Boy right off the grill." She is also a fan of onion rings dipped in tartar sauce, hot fudge cake, and the Philly Chicken Sandwich topped with Swiss and grilled onions.

Greg's appetite is loyal to the fish sandwich, made with golden-fried Cod topped with lettuce and tartar sauce. A close second are few of his fresh recipes, including the Primetime Jalapeño Swiss Burger and Frisch's newest condiment: chipolte mayo.

PARKSIDE CAFÉ

The best use of a refurbished restaurant goes to Parkside Café , who turned an abandoned Walnut Hills Frisch's into a brunching delight.

While the layout and furniture remains familiar, Parkside added some violet decor and new carpeting to add a bit of class to this former chain. It's just the right amount of tweaking to give it character, but not totally overhaul the building.

During the weekends, the signature double buffet tables are open filled with everyone's breakfast favorites plus fresh fruit and salad. Customers can also order off the menu. Whatever you choose, the prices are very reasonable and two people can dine for under $15.00.

The best thing about Parkside is that it is a true community restaurant. Other diners in Cincinnati attract certain demographics. Here, everyone blended together: young, old, professionals, families, people coming from church, and people working off a hangover.

Make Parkside Café your next stop for a weekend breakfast (or brunch.) It's one of the friendliest, tastiest local diners in town.
