Backlog: Summer Brunch
For some reason, I always forget what this place is called and inevitably, I’ve been referring to it as “Tiny” Giant for the past 8 months or so. Taken from their website- they can sum it up best and they do live up to their standards:
Our food is “Seasonal American” (which means we use fresh market produce that isn’t the same week to week.) It also means homemade sausages in the winter, juicy heirloom tomatoes in the summer and the best buttermilk chive biscuits every day of the year.
We serve refined comfort food – upscale riffs on homespun standards.
In some ways, this place totally reminds me of my brunch at Brown. All this organic food gives me an image of a hearty farmer’s breakfast with produce from the farm, eluding a rustic feel/look to it. And the wood panels Little Giant serves food on doesn’t exactly sway my thoughts another way either.

trucker’s breakfast
Think of this as an open breakfast sandwich. It’s a grilled piece of texas toast, with tomatoes, bacon, andouille sausage [that I gave to McTwinkle], scrambled eggs, sautéed cremini mushrooms & tomato gravy [read: tomato juices] with a side of homemade molasses baked beans [read: my favorite part].
biscuit & gravy
Buttermilk-chive biscuit that looks like a hash brown from the picture, poached eggs, black forest ham, and garlic-herb gravy with a side of greens
duck club
The beauty of brunch is that you can have breakfast or lunch and McTwinkle’s eating lunch. The savory duck club with duck confit, applewood smoked bacon, avocado, and herb mayo. There were terra chips on the side.
