Last weekend my boyfriend's parents were in town, so we suggested Hell's Kitchen for brunch. The setup and interior of Hell's Kitchen is super fun and different. It's like what hell would look like if is was designed by a goth foodie who likes art deco and just needs a drink. There's several rooms that make up this place. One of the main rooms has live music during the brunch hour. All of their food is pretty good, but their brunch is really spectacular. During brunch, all the servers wear pajamas, which must rock for them. They key thing to remember when going there for brunch is to make sure you order something with toast. With any side of toast, they bring you a cup of their housemade peanut butter, which is the best thing ever. It's chunky and sweet (I think they must add brown sugar to it). I got a cornmeal pancake, with eggs and bison sausage, which was very good. The bison sausage has a bot of a spicy kick to it. My boyfriend got the steak and eggs, which came with a huge piece of tenderloin. His mom got the shrimp and crab cake, with a poached egg, which looked delicious and like a healthier version of a crab cake eggs benedict. Hell's Kitchen does offer four different kinds of eggs benedict (classic, vegetable, portobello, and bison). I think the bison one is the best, as the meat is spicy and the hollandaise is a tangerine-jalapeno. Yum! One last recommendation is to try the Mahnomin porridge. It looks kind of weird, like runny wild rice soup, but it's actually tasty and unique. It's wild rice, served with hazelnuts, dried blueberries, cranberries, heavy cream, and maple syrup. It's sweet without being too sweet. All and all, if you're in downtown Minneapolis on a Saturday or Sunday and are looking for a unique and delicious brunch option, Hell's Kitchen is the place to go! There's just something different about enjoying a pancake under a picture of a creepy screaming skeleton.
