Dissection Of A Menu

Fare: Wins
Aptly named, Buttermilk Channel is and isn't what you'd expect. When I first caught wind of the place through a friend, the name brought to mind huge buckets of waffle mix being poured onto a mega - griddle. Reminiscent of those educational shows we used to watch as children where they gave an inside look at the inner workings of a factory or production mill and we sat there in awe. Yes, kind of like that.

I imagine that what goes on in the kitchen there is pretty similar, considering there is often an hour wait and lots of Brooklynites and their in-town parents waiting to throw down.
Interior & Design (as shown above): Fitting
1. Cornflower Blue Storefront Which Contrasts With Original Red Brick Facade
2. Globe Pendants Flank The Bar
3. Illustrated Menus Resembling The Original Buttermilk Channel Map
4. Window Signage In Classic Font, Backlit by Traditional Sconces
5. Eggs Huntington
6. Full Bar (at noon) (more below...)

Branding: Wins
Are we eating the brand or what's on the menu?
Both! If we took away the minimalist New England style decor and cute little menus with cows walking up the channel, this restaurant would still be on my hit list. For starters, the grapefruit wheels with endive are reason enough alone to go and the waffles, they're heaven.
Considering the vision I had about Buttermilk Channel before I actually dined there, I was surprised and delighted when greeted with the menu. A Yellow the tone of buttermilk itself is the ground color with a nice cornflower blue type. Quite comforting.
So, Buttermilk wins!!
Ever dined here? What's the favorite waffle spot in your city?

Waffles and fried chicken are some of the best!
@Khanh Thanks for the recommendation. I have yet to try the chicken but it's on my to-try-next list!
That looks like I place I could love.
#5 is a rare photo showing my brunch arrived but not yet devoured. You must have set the camera on a fast shutter speed.
I haven't dined here yet, but can we go when I roll into NYC? And don't worry, I plan on spending at least a full year in the city before I consider traveling abroad.
@Bruce Judging by your kitchen blog, I'd say so!
@Pip Your hands are famous!
@Brandi If we'll have you for a full year we can do lots of restaurants!!!
