Deep is in town for a bit to see his two lovely lady Yankees! So we headed out to brunch with the Bhaura crew in Hell's Kitchen to a spot aptly named KTCHN.
The restaurant is attached to a hotel, so it actually has two huge formal rooms off to the back and to the side to allow for late-night revelry. But for a sunny daytime brunch, the front room offers nice bright decor and light streaming through the front windows.
The food was definitely above-average for brunch. They offer the typical brunch dishes, but the preparation takes them to another level.
DJ said the eggs in his Bacon-Cheddar Omelet were possibly the fluffiest he's ever had. And the potatoes were shredded and then baked into a pie shape, allowing for a lovely "slice of potatoes" served with a dollop of sour cream.
Mel's Grilled Amish Chicken Paillard salad featured arugula in a light, delectable dressing over chicken that had been flattened to the thinness of a pizza crust and grilled. It was such a fun way to enjoy chicken in a salad, and allowed there to effortlessly be a bite of chicken with every bit of greens. Brilliant!
And the Bhauras' Eggs Benedicts were poached to perfection and served over scrumptious buttered English muffins.
The only hitch to the morning was that the service was a bit slow and it took us a while to get our beverages. We found out later it was because the bartender had gotten in late, and then the manager was kind enough to take our beverages off the bill. He was very gracious, which we really appreciated.
Overall, KTCHN is a bit off the beaten path (42nd and 10th), but if you ever find yourself in that neighborhood on a weekend it's definitely worth a brunch stop.
