"Mississippi’s Gravy has glorious excess down pat, and their Southern food is compelling enough to justify waiting for a table, even on a weekday. If you gravitate towards sweet and savory dishes like chicken and waffles, try the monte cristo instead. The base of this open-face french toast sandwich is the thickest slice of brioche ever, and shaved turkey and ham, melted swiss, and two poached eggs take it over the top. Strawberry jam for dipping or dabbing, and a golden hash brown cake the size of a 45 record, come on the side. You can swap out potato accompaniments for a short stack, and this is the way to go if you want fluffy pancakes with your scramble or omelet (and you do)." - krista garcia
