Deacon's Corner in Gastown (Plus an update!)

It's been awhile, Foodies! There's been a lot going on for me recently and I mean A LOT!

1) I have recently been hired to work for Aritzia

2) There is only ONE MONTH left until the opening of my cabaret

With all this keeping me busy, it has been difficult to post on the regular. WORRY NOT, I'M BACK!

My older cousin is in town for the weekend for a business trip so my brother and I decided to have breakfast with him in Gastown before we headed to work. We decided on Deacon's Corner.

I've actually read about this place, especially on Facebook, and have been waiting to try their funky sandwiches such as a macaroni and cheese sandwich that I saw on Facebook.

101 Main Street, Vancouver, BC

The store is diner styled and had quite the variety of breakfast items to choose from. Some were the classics kind of breakfast but there were a lot of interesting dishes like the Carolina Pulled Pork & Pancake.

I decided on the Southern biscuits, sausage, and eggs. It came with two house made buttermilk biscuits, 3 sausage patties, country gravy, has browns, and three eggs of your style (of course I choose classic scrambled w/ cheese).

It was good, but I can't really expect so much from a diner. The eggs were quite basic, nothing too special. The hash browns were sort of bland, could've used more crunch or maybe seasoning. The sausage was actually pretty good. It was surprisingly spicy. The gravy was not bad, but it tasted too non-homemade. I actually expected the biscuits to be softer and more fluffy, but this was not the case. It had a similar consistency as a bagel, which was weird too me (I'm not that much for a biscuit eater).

Southern biscuits, sausage and eggs - $10.95

Everything on that dish was pretty acceptable. Though it wasn't the most amazing dish I've ever had, it was not bad! In fact, it's better than many of the diners i've been to in New York. I'm pretty sure that Deacon's Corner is more famous for their interesting sandwiches rather than their actual breakfast. I am definitely coming back to try those cool dishes!
