Wild Egg's ACE of a BLT spells out the extra ingredients that provide gravitas: Avocado, Cheddar and an Egg: A.C.E.
One cloudy, stormy looking March afternoon last year, when lockdown had just started and we all were starting to reckon with the scary reality that the pandemic was here to stay for a while, I got out and walked through a completely deserted Westport Village.
I walked up to the big windows at Wild Eggs and saw an eerie scene, chairs perched upside down on tables in the empty room, and a vacant expanse of empty parking lot reflected in the big plate glass windows.
In that moment I decided to come back for a meal, or maybe a few, when things returned to normal.
So recently, with vaccinations widespread and Governor Andy Beshear’s restrictions going away, it was time to return, and so I did. Twice.
I’m delighted to report that things are very much back to normal, with food and service up to Wild Eggs’ high standard.
It doesn’t seem as if it’s been 14 years since the first Wild Eggs opened on Dutchmans Lane in 2007. I speculated at the time, based on its attractive egg-centric imaging and pretty pastel colors, that the owners had expansion plans. Indeed, Wild Eggs has grown into a regional mini-chain of more than a dozen properties, including a half-dozen around Louisville and expansion units spreading as far as Lexington and Bowling Green, Ky., Cincinnati and Indianapolis.
The menu selections appear to be consistent across the properties, although local pricing may vary. Nearly two dozen egg dishes are mostly priced between $11.49 and $16.99, most built with two or three eggs and your choice of home fries, grits, or a blueberry or everything muffin on the side. You can dine economically on Zax I Am eggs ($8.69), a diner style plate with home fries and an everything muffin, or a build-your-own omelet or scramble ($9.49 plus upcharges for cheeses and other fillings).
Don’t care for eggs? Wild Eggs, despite its name, has you covered with a half-dozen egg-free breakfast entrees ...
