Union Bar & Grille: Toaster-gate

I wrote several times about the brunch value at Union Bar & Grille, including ten days ago, when I noted breakfast now comes with four pieces of toast instead of two. Some readers, and particularly p3wong, disputed the four-toast policy was universally applied and insinuated I had received preferential treatment.

What can I say? I checked with two other people that day and they received four pieces of toast. Last weekend, I visited again and a walk-about found patrons each had four pieces of toast. And on Tuesday night, I ran into Union chef Zachary, who said the policy is four pieces of toast. Four.

Why didn’t p3wong get four? Maybe it was mistake, given her visit came near the end of the holidays, the place was short-staffed, and a few newbies were working the floor. Or maybe it was in retribution for her apple juice incident (see comments here).

Anyway, if you receive toast with your meal, it should consist of four (4) pieces. That means two slices of bread cut in half (2 X 2 = 4).

And if you want the bottomless coffee, you have to settle for the drip kind. Not the cappuccino, not the mocha, but the drip. Let’s prevent the next controversy being about latte-gate.

Can't we all just get along?
