Molly's Rise and Shine
Country ham arrives with hollow cheese puffs, and the McMuffin comes with a small American flag stuck in it.2
Why go
This is the breakfast room from the group behind Turkey and the Wolf and Hungry Eyes, and it is the one that opens at eight.2 Megan Braden-Perry calls it the middle sibling and then says it does not play second fiddle.2 The dining room is a shelf of nineties junk: a Nickelodeon Guts
Aggro Crag trophy, a Michael Bolton READ poster from the American Library Association, a life-size E.T. standing over the kitchen.2 The cooking underneath it is straight.

Verdict
should-visit — One bylined critic has judged this room and her verdict is specific: Braden-Perry writes that it 'doesn't play second fiddle to anybody when it comes to the morning meal' and names the country ham with hollow cheese puffs and the fried chicken biscuit to show why. Michelin carries it in the New Orleans selection, though its page prints no distinction, so nothing above that is claimed. The kitchen runs six mornings a week out of a room decorated with a Nickelodeon Guts trophy and a life-size E.T., which is a room somebody meant.
