I heard a rumor that a Cajun place is going in @ the former Big Lick BBQ spot.

Sorry to change the subject, but what’s the latest on Big Lick BBQ? They still look closed, but are painting and moving stuff like crazy.

Picked up dinner-to-go there last night and learned about the breakfast menu, I don’t work downtown but will check it out on a Saturday for sure (esp. now that Tudor’s is no more).

Lindsey, sorry to change the subject, but are large eggs smaller than they once were? Seems like it to me. I did a search and a dozen large eggs must weigh a min of 24 ozs, that was in 2/2011. Wonder if it has changed? Can you find out?

The Thai breakfast is fantastic. I have sampled the johk,khao tom, the chinese and american donuts, and the tao huay. One of the best breakfasts I have had in Roanoke. If you enjoy ethnic cuisine and want something interesting for breakfast, especially as the cold weather sets in, I can not recommend this highly enough.
Great food, and very friendly staff.

It is interesting just how central soups are for breakfast offerings in Asia. I’ve noticed on some of those food shows where they travel and eat ‘odd’ foods. Lots of Asian countries, they eat soup like we eat cereal.

It sort of makes sense, though. It would certainly be a lighter fare than eggs, bacon, etc. and it includes healthy options.
