2 Home Cooks

Have all of my local readers been to the new restaurant.  2 Home Cooks at 40 Chestnut street in Dover? Jim and I went this past Sunday with our friends Tim and Maureen. This restaurant is open for breakfast and lunch only and if you are looking for a home cooked meal this is the place! We went for breakfast and were so pleasantly surprised just walking up to the restaurant as they have a beautiful outdoor patio area to enjoy your breakfast or lunch outside! The outside area was very well kept, everything was clean and fresh.

Because it was a little chilly the morning we went, we sat inside and that was just as clean and fresh.  What we all loved the most was that it is an open kitchen.  You really can watch your food being made. Everything is fresh and made to order. They also make their own biscuits every morning as well as making their own sausage patties! So for me knowing they make both of those things my breakfast choice was simple! I had the Sausage Benedict with the biscuits instead of english muffin! Oh ya..I am a sucker for a good Benedict but when a place makes their own biscuits and sausage, I am all in and my mouth was watering from the beginning! Let me tell you the biscuits do not disappoint…absolutely delicious! The sausage also excellent, the eggs cooked beautifully.  Now, as for the hollandaise sauce, for me the sauce was good, but I am a sucker for a rich, creamy sauce.  This was a bit on the thin side for my preference, but all in all a great dish!
Jim and Maureen both got a special they were having that day. The Greek omelette with hash browns and toast. Let me tell you, the portions are huge! Their omelettes took up almost half the plate, and the taste of the omelette was just right according to both Jim and Maureen. This omelette had spinach, feta cheese and bacon…what is not to love about that?! The omelette was cooked perfectly, the hash browns were also done to perfection, crispy yet tender, and well seasoned.
I may have possibly saved the best for last! Tim had the bacon pancakes! Need I say more?!  Bacon inside the pancakes. Outside the pancakes drizzled with real maple syrup! Absolutely delicious! I don’t typically order pancakes when we go out for breakfast but this will be bringing me back for sure!

Although we went for breakfast we did take a peek at the lunch menu. They have everything you would expect on the menu, but with a twist, and everything here is also home made and cooked to order. There was one sandwich that caught my husbands attention and it was the Thanksgiving everyday sandwich made with Texas toast, pan seared turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing and mayo! We will most certainly be coming back for that!

I also want to mention the service we had here. From the moment we walked in, to the time we left, the service was friendly, helpful, prompt and they kept the coffee cups filled! Fantastic service from start to end!  2 Home Cooks is a great addition to Dover so don’t wait, go check them out! You can find them on Facebook as well as on the Internet!

Enjoy!
