"I stopped by 455 Meeting Street before its official opening and saw how the Big Bad Breakfast team transformed the former Simply Fashions building into a modern Southern diner with comfy booths, a bar, and a bit of whimsy in a kitchen-themed wallpaper that looks straight out of the Fifties. The restaurant comes from award-winning chef John Currence and his business partner Nick Pihakis of Jim N’ Nick’s Bar-B-Q, who had originally considered a Mexican concept for the site but ultimately chose to bring Big Bad Breakfast to Oxford. It welcomed patrons over the weekend but lists its official opening as Tuesday, September 24; the restaurant serves daily from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and will also serve lunch." - Erin Perkins
