Taking its name from The Great Gatsby, the West Egg Cafe nestles up in the more popular West Side of Atlanta along the old railroads.  It has that neighborhood comfortable feeling when you step in.  As you cross the threshold a fresh bakery and full coffee bar aromas make for a pleasant olfactory overload.

I was grateful to have been invited by my friend Jess, with Good Measure Meals, to join for their fundraiser.  They raise money for the charity Project Open Hand, which provides healthy meals to people and families who have been affected by some chronic disease.  It is a very cool and important charity and I urge you to take a look at how you can help. Now, on to the meal....

Although it was Wednesday, $10 burger and pint night, I was in the mood for breakfast (served all day) and ordered up myself the Fried Green Tomato Wrap with bacon, eggs, and cheese.  I personally just thought mine was alright, nothing too special and my side of grits weren't the best I've had.  Katy had the Fried Green Tomato BLT with pimento cheese and greens.  Her meal was a bit better than mine but the top dog was what Emily ordered.  The "PB&J" burger.  Pimento cheese - Bacon & tomato Jam double burger.  I had a bite and regretted my need to always want breakfast for dinner.  It is their specialty and easy to see why, definitely try it out!  The portions are large and we weren't able to get one of their homemade milk shakes, which are supposed to be superb along with their Coca-Cola Cupcake.  I do want to go back again and give another meal a try.  As if the PB&J burger and coke cupcake aren't enough to make your dining experience memorable, they also provide a photo booth in the coffee shop to make the memory last.
