Classic City Bread

           One of my favorite spots to eat in Athens is the popular restaurant, Big City Bread. Known for their great brunch, fun patio, and interesting menu specials, it’s no question why Big City claims popularity. Located right off downtown in a small building with front patio seating, Big City offers a variety of unique entrees. My favorite thing to order is the Tahini Salad. With artichoke hearts, chickpeas, and an out-of-this-world Lemon-Tahini dressing, this salad always is a winner when I visit. One of my favorite things I’ve ordered off the specials menu was a vegetable sauté with a poached egg. Great flavor, unique presentation, and definitely has me coming back wanting more.

            Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, Big City also specializes in Sunday Brunch. French toast, biscuits, eggs, and quiche, they have all of your classic brunch favorites.

            Big City Bread has a really great website that holds all of their menus, details on their bakery and catering, and a link to their Facebook page. Their Facebook page has posts of daily specials, so they are able to continually update their customers of any additions. This social media site allows customers to see great pictures of the food offered at Big City Bread, read customer reviews, and see news articles that Big City is featured in.

A popular favorite: tomato soup

            Big City Bread definitely works hard at making sure their website and Facebook page are kept up-to-date. This effort definitely pays off because every time I’ve been, there has been a large crowd. I know that many people, especially college students, heavily rely on social media to see how a restaurant is, or see what the food pictures look like. Big City does a great job covering this and catering to their audience!
