'Burb Bites: Good vibes on the menu at Sunny Day Cafe
This week's bite is a recommendation for anyone looking for good food and a good mood.
The bite: Carne asada skillet ($17) from Sunny Day Cafe.
Two eggs any style (I opted for over easy) with hash browns, marinated ribeye steak, caramelized onions, jalapeño, sliced avocado and habanero cheese.
The 'burb: Carmel.
My take: Sunny Day is a fantastic way to start the day. The only downside is that it's a tough act to follow.
The skillet was superb. Topped with chunks of tender steak and bursting with flavor provided by the savory layers beneath, no two bites were the same.
The caramelized onions were a show-stealer, blending with egg yolk and avocado to introduce some sweetness to the experience.
The vibe: Tucked between a barber shop and a tanning salon in a Carmel shopping plaza, Sunny Day Cafe is a bit of a hidden gem in up in HamCo. And my morning there felt like eating with family.
The cozy interior and jovial banter among the staff created the perfect environment to enjoy Sunny Day's Mexican-inspired morning staples.
Carne asada aside, other menu highlights include the chorizo-packed "fiesta benedict" and their signature chilaquiles.
Plus: Al fresco diners, rejoice. Their patio is popping.
