Do you want to know how long it’s been since I’ve been to More Than Just Ice Cream? I was trying to remember, and it’s been so long, I didn’t remember. It had to have been in the 90′s. Seriously, it was that long ago. What I do remember is that I went for brunch and that it was good. A whole slew of us went one morning on a lovely day. With every brunch entree, you get a complimentary mimosa. How can you not love that? There’s tons to choose from and you get plenty of food. The french toast, topped with apples and served with a side of canadian bacon. This was an impressive dish. The chicken salad sandwich, with heaping mounds of chicken salad, a side of greens, some cantaloupe, and a pickle. J enjoyed this sandwich quite a bit. I was a bit jealous of it. The last time I was here I had gotten the eggs benedict. I wasn’t going to mess with this. Once again, it was quite delicious. Canadian bacon on english muffins, topped with poached eggs and hollandaise. It was served with a healthy helping of home fries. It’s good to know that dish was still good here. For those that had room, some ice cream was also had. I was stuffed, so I had to pass.

A giant paper mache pink armadillo hangs from the ceiling. It’s creepy, yet slightly adorable.
The place was absolutely packed (I stupidly showed up at around 12:30 on a Saturday), and there was a huge wait. Luckily, I didn’t have to wait too long for a spot at the counter, as I pretty much stalked someone and as soon as his ass left the seat, I went right for it. A bowl of these curious things were on the counter – freezerves. Freezer jam, never heard of it. Then I looked it up and it’s jam that’s stored in the freezer, and it’s better because the fruit isn’t cooked as much. There were different varieties, and I tried the marionberry, and raspberry, and strawberry ones. They were ok tasting, but they all have a crazy near neon technicolor look that just seems unnatural. Tastes fine, but looks a little fake.
Their menu has tons of choices, including your standard brunch fare, tex-mex favorites, and good old texas bbq. I wasn’t really in the mood for a plate full of flesh, so I just went with the 5 spot breakfast of two eggs, your choice of meat, toast, and a giant heap of hash browns. It’s about the most hash browns I’ve ever laid eyes on. I asked for my eggs over hard, and they were great. They must have used a little form as they came out in a perfect circle. Everything else was pretty good, but the hash browns were just too much. Most of it was also soft and mushy, and I really like the crunchy bits the best.
Service was great. The server/bartender was manning the entire counter by himself, and it’s a pretty huge counter. And he was making all of the drinks for the entire place, and was doing a great job.Get here early or get here late, and stuff your face.

Have y’all ever had a full english breakfast? Or a full irish breakfast? The contents can vary, but it usually involves some eggs, potatoes, bacon/ham type substance, baked beans, tomatoes, toast, and some sort of blood pudding. J had been talking about it for weeks, and he got me hankering, so I decided to make our dreams come true.

I cooked up some improvised potatoes, with onions, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes. They turned out pretty well for me making up the whole thing. We went with turkey bacon to feign some semblance of healthiness. The beans were from trader joe’s and they were quite excellent. And some eggs to round out the plate. Neither of us were interested in any type of blood pudding, which is a good thing as I would have had no clue as to where one can procure some. Hearty? Yes. Healthy? No. But I coveted every bite!
