They have breakfast down to a science. We tried this new Columbus restaurant

I’ve heard there’s a science to good food, but a mix of science and a passion for the food is what makes really great food.

At Breakfastology Cafe, 5156 River Road, Suite C, in Columbus, I think they may have figured out how to do just that.

Having seen a few posts about the new restaurant, which opened in March, Ledger-Enquirer visual journalist Mike Haskey and I decided to try it.

I had been craving some sausage gravy and was reminded of the amazing grits I had just a few weekends ago at a family reunion. So, I decided to get the best of both worlds and order the Gravy Grit Reaction.

The dish was a bowl filled with creamy grits and topped with sausage gravy, a sausage patty, scrambled eggs and cheese. I wasn’t sure how the grits and gravy were going to mix, as I’m used to eating my sausage gravy on top of biscuits.

However, I was very pleased with the flavor profile — and the “reaction” it had on my taste buds. The grits were creamy, smooth and not under-salted. The sausage gravy had a hearty and peppery flavor without being too overwhelming and overpowering the flavors of the other foods in the dish.

The scrambled eggs were incredibly fluffy and still moist. I hate it when restaurants overcook the scrambled eggs to where they become dry on the inside. The cheese was also nice along with the eggs.

The portion was a good size and easily left me feeling filled — a rare occasion for me.

Looking over their menu, I saw several items that were interesting, so I will likely have to head back sometime to try something new. Also, the prices weren’t bad and were comparable to some of the breakfast chains I’m used to eating at.
