You gotta eat sometime. Make it fun!

Along the Seine Eggs Benedict | $9.99 My first trip to Fran’s Classic Diner, the menu selection was impressive.  And being an egg lover, I quickly gravitated to their “Egg-cellent Entrees” section which is basically various egg benedict options.  Everything in this section is served on a toasted English muffin, 2 poached eggs, mozzarella cheese Hollandaise sauce  and a dash of paprika along with homefries and fresh fruit. I ordered Along the Seine which is topped with your choice of baby spinach & ham or feta cheese & tomato lightly drizzled with balsamic vinegar.  They actually made a mistake and gave me both options.  Good mistake in my opinion. The balsamic vinegar really made the dish along with the cheese.  In fact, it may have masked the ham in the dish which didn’t seem very flavorful or outstanding. The muffin was toasted well.  The eggs however were slightly overdone in that it wasn’t very runny.  The homefries were perfectly crispy on the outside with enough potato on the inside for a solid bite. The fruit was a nice capper. With such a big menu, I definitely plan to try Fran’s again.  Not the best benedict I’ve had, but I don’t put too much weight on only one try or visit. They are on the pricey side but the portions are pretty big to provide a decent value.

12B Cuban Sandwich ($12) Roast pork, ham, pepper jack cheese, dijon mustard, pickles, and crispy potatoes on a ciabatta bun. At first it does seem rather expensive for the sandwich but the portions are plentiful and tasty.  I’m a big eater, and I actually saved half my lunch for later. This is a relative new menu item. I got the fruit salad as my side but you can also get their fries. The pork is tender and juicy at first bite.  And the pickles are of the highest grade - crispy and fresh. It adds a nice contrast in flavor that I actually enjoyed being a pickle-hater myself.  I definitely recommend this dish. This cafe is located inside Hotel Philips in downtown Kansas City. 12 Baltimore Cafe 105 West 12th St Kansas City, MO 64105 (816) 346-4410

Double Cheeseburger with Onions and Pickles. Mouthwatering burger that makes your crave for more (if you only ordered one like I did). Get at least the double if your are hungry. The burgers are pretty small but very tasty, juicy and greasy in the flavor enhancing way.  This place is opened 24 hours and located in the crossroads area.  Convenient especially if you’re walking in the area for First Fridays.
