I am a simple man - if I see that the pulled pork sandwich is available on the specials menu for d'jeet?, I immediately order it. Everything about this sandwich is fantastic! I'm not going to say much about this, because I think the picture does it justice. Still, I'll say, it's chock full of pulled pork, oozing with melted cheese all over, and the bun is magnifique! Pair the sandwich with their regular fries or upgrade to truffle fries and you're in for a surely satisfying meal. I've paired this in the past with an easy-drinking, lighter ABV beer like a 6% IPA - Lil Shimmy Ye from Twin Elephant, Sneakbox from Kane Brewing, or Low Visibility from Magnify Brewing are all excellent choices! Salud! And bon appetit!
I was very surprised that I stumbled into what seemed to be d'jeet's first brunch service. Now I've been here multiple times and did a review back in April, 2016 and they were my first featured section of Quick Bites just over a month ago with their Short Rib Grilled Cheese. Yet, I couldn't pass up the chance of visiting and seeing what these exciting new brunch items were. Again, d'jeet? is BYOB so fire up your favorite champagne or bring your favorite morning beer. This time around, we look at two new items: The Eggy Biscuit and the Jenny Benny.
Looks can be deceiving. You'd think the Eggy Biscuit ($8) was the size of a normal biscuit from this picture, but it's not. This delectable breakfast muffin was the size of a burger bun and filled with scrambled eggs, gooey muenster cheese and soppresata. It's a phenomenal breakfast item, but make sure you get your pre-brunch workout in, the muffin is pretty massive.
The Jenny Benny ($11) is a star of a brunch item. Filled with cheese melted to perfection, avocado and eggs cooked over medium, this was a definite favorite for the morning. The croissant is absolutely stellar and done perfectly. It's buttery, flaky and yet retains a certain amount of crisp that excites any ingredient within it. Again, the size in the picture can be a little misleading, it's actually bigger than it looks. It does come with a side of fresh fruit to serve as a palate cleanser or dessert, if you will.
Both items are highly recommended if d'jeet? does continue to feature brunch during the weekends. I'm unsure as to whether this was a test run or not, but I support the idea since this restaurant is a prime location for something like brunch. With a BYOB set in place, the sky is the limit as far as how fun you want this brunch to be, but rest assured, the brunch menu delivers the goods. Salud!
Last year when I visited d'jeet?, I had recommended listening to the specials. Thankfully, upon revisiting just this weekend, I listened again and came across this wonderful sandwich for a quick bite - the Short Rib Grilled Cheese Sandwich. It's a simple yet satisfying sandwich packed full of delicious short rib in a sauce of its own with some fantastic Muenster cheese. the time I was done, I was scooping up that delicious short rib sauce with the last corner of the sandwich. So good!
Pair this up with regular fries, a salad, or their famous truffle fries, and you're golden! Maybe the next time you visit, this might not be there again... but again, just listen to the specials! And never forget, d'jeet? is BYOB so whatever you are dining on (I recommend the wings) - feel free to pair it with your favorite beer or wine. So... d'jeet?
