"It’s already in the name — Big Bad Breakfast is a reliable spot for fluffy pancakes, crispy bacon, and eggs, any way you like. If you’re feeling boozy, the bar has plenty of bloody marys and Irish coffees." - Erin Perkins
"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
"It looks like Oxford-based chef John Currence is very close to opening the Charleston outpost of his morning-meal restaurant: he posted an Instagram peek at the interiors and wrote that the project is 'crawling across the finish line,' with final stages of hiring happening now; he's recruiting people who want a motivated, fun culture, to 'put out killer food and work amazing hours,' and says he's 'so excited to be here.' The Lowcountry outpost of his award-winning eatery will occupy the former Simply Fashions location at 455 Meeting Street, and with Hominy Grill recently closed it may become the new spot for grits-hungry tourists and locals." - Erin Perkins
"Set at 455 Meeting St, Downtown, the Charleston outpost of Big Bad Breakfast, brought by Oxford-based chef John Currence, will be a morning-heavy restaurant that feels like an old-school diner and serves traditional American breakfast fare with a 'cheffy' spin." - Erin Perkins
"Announced by Oxford-based chef John Currence, I expect this morning-heavy concept will feel more like an old-school diner, serving traditional American breakfast fare with a slightly 'cheffy' spin." - Erin Perkins
