Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day.
You, the reader, have made this very clear by voting Yolk’s as Best Food Truck and Best Breakfast in our Best of the City awards. It could be because of the…well, you know…yolks. These free-range monsters have the bright orange centres associated with sunflowers and happy chickens. And they taste like eggs should – poached, runny, creamy, and gooey. In fact, they do go gooey (but not too much) over your double-smoked bacon benny.
Owner/chef Steve Ewing is a strong proponent of breakfast – it’s his favourite meal of the day – so it makes sense he puts so much effort into it. Not only are the eggs free-range, but the bacon is local and the hollandaise isn’t some quickie version, but the real deal, just one fast whisking away from le Cordon Bleu. Even the Dijon is made in-house (or rather, in-truck).
And let’s not forget the hashbrowns. Oh, the truffle-lemon hashbrowns. Truffle oil has its opponents and vilifiers, but when it’s used to make something this good, conceding defeat is the only proper thing to do. More hearty potato chunks than hash, these are served up with every breakfast, and are the coup de grace of the meal.
Gluten-phobes, rest easy, as organic, gluten-free buns await. Starting at $7.50 for your mobile benny, it’s a great bargain that also ensures you conquer all food groups at one meal (bacon, eggs, cheese, and truffle).
And if you’d rather eat your breakfast sitting down, Yolk’s brick-and-mortar location at the corner of Clark and East Hastings has an expanded menu including classics like organic fried chicken and waffles with white gravy and fat stacks of delicious pancakes with your choice of fruit topping. Make sure to get there early to avoid the line!
