Date visited: Sunday, May 27
It's that time of year when everything is beautiful. As I sat on the patio at Hot Plate (5204 Bloomington Ave., 612.824.4794), enjoying a cup of coffee, the scent of lilacs wafting in the breeze and The Wendy -- an egg, cheese and tomato English muffin sandwich served with a side of fried potatoes -- life sure felt perfect.
Since I've been to Hot Plate before (once on a chilly winter day, and another occasion when I forgot my brunch date and showed up about 45 minutes late and very frazzled), I can tell you that it's not just the sunny, t-shirt weather and the three-day weekend that has me jazzed about the restaurant. The first time I went I feel in love with the pumpkin-buckwheat waffle, and I sipped a large cup of Chai tea to calm my nerves on the second visit. Both experiences were enjoyable despite the weather and my special brand of spazziness.
