The 1st question you might have is not what is
Mad Fox, but where in the dickens is Mad Fox? This charming little brewery is
cunningly located in downtown Falls Church. The problem is you have to look
extra hard for it.
Once you find it, I believe you will be pleasantly
surprised. They serve lunch, dinner, and brunch. It is the latter I am fixing
to discuss with you here now.
When I go to Mad Fox for Brunch, I always want the same
thing. Homemade glazed donuts. With that I start. I am partial to the original
glaze over the other varieties. Sinfully glazed and piping hot, they are as
delicious as I am making them sound.
As always, I order the steak and eggs, steak medium
rare…Yum. Instead of the side salad that comes with this deliciousness, I order
the smoked gouda grits. There are no words for the bliss one can experience
consuming this gastronomic masterpiece, that is when it is done properly. I
have eaten brunch at MF 3 times. Two out of the three times the grits were
perfection smoked goudiness galore. They make them thicker, almost like
polenta; however, there was one time it was more like traditional grits and
more liquidy. If you can find out ahead of time, that would be the best.
Now for the main attraction, the steak. By far, it is one of
the best cooked steaks I have eaten ever, and that includes places like Ruth
Chris. They cooked it to a wonderful medium rare and placed a dab of seasoned
butter atop to melt languorously. As steaks go, this one is heaven. I also have
on good authority that they sometimes buy their meat from the very Organic
Butcher of McLean that we wrote about here on le gastronomique dc!
If you can, see your way to brunch at the Mad Fox.
Many scrumptious treats await you there.
