Bruxie Opens in Old Towne Orange
11.08.10
By Greer Wylder
If you’ve ever been to the South you’ve either been to or driven past a Waffle House—the beloved diner is know for its southern hospitality and quick, hot, easy meals. Bruxie, which is opening today in Old Towne Orange, would be a Waffle House gone gourmet. It’s a concept unlike anything we’ve seen—as if waffles are the sixth food group. Think waffles for all meals: breakfast, lunch and dinner, dessert, mid-day snack or late-night treat.
Bruxie is serving more than a dozen sweet and savory gourmet waffle sandwiches. The menu offers two types of Belgian waffles: the Brussels waffle, light and crispy in texture; and the Liege waffle, a more dense, sweet, with Belgian-pearl sugar baked into it.
To satisfy the sweet tooth, Bruxie offers several sweet waffles, including S’mores with toasted marshmallows, drizzled with rich Belgian chocolate.
Other waffles including bacon, egg and cheddar; prosciutto and Gruyere; smoked salmon and dill cream cheese, sun-dried tomatoes and goat cheese; buttermilk fried chicken and waffle; and sweet waffles including fruit and cream; PB and J; Nutella and bananas; and lemon cream and berries.
Also available are old-fashioned cane sugar sodas custom made for Bruxie in OC, freshly brewed Peet’s Coffee and Tea, soft-serve frozen custard (in homage to Dairy Treet, the 61-year-old business formerly in the same location) shakes, sundaes and floats. Nothing on the menu exceeds $8.
It’s opening today at 11 a.m., then at 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. 292 N. Glassell Street (at Palm Avenue) in Old Towne Orange.
