Hoof Cafe reopened today, at the Raw Bar space. Open Thursdays to Sundays. I think it's more "composed dishes" than the old Hoof cafe: everything is in the $12 to $18 range and consists of eggs, protein, and starch. The octo and grits was outstanding, with a delicious piquillo sauce for balance. Beef heart with bone marrow scrambled eggs was slightly underseasoned, heart was cooked perfectly. Bombay hash with smoked mackerel was my favourite in terms of overall flavour, if only the dish was a bit hotter (temperature wise).
Other items include the Tongue Benny, the Blood Sausage McMuffin, Cassoulet, Sweetbreads and Waffles, and a Big Salad. Expect the place to be packed, and I'm praying the donuts would make a come back.
