D," TWO ATHLETES TAKE ON DWAYNE
"THE ROCK" JOHNSON’S BIGGEST
CHALLENGE YET.
MORMON AT 10 A.M.
>> Tati: A RITUAL SOME FOLKS MAY
BE MISSING IS THE WEEKEND BRUNCH
OUTING.
YOU KNOW WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT.
MIMOSA, EGGS BENEDICT, COFFEE.
>> Jason: BREAKFAST OF
CHAMPIONS.
AND ONE IS SERVING DECADENT
DISHES AND YOU CAN GET IT TO GO.
WE GO DOWN TO DINE IN THE D AT
THE HUDSON CAFE.
♪
>> Michelle: HOW DOES A CINNAMON
ROLL PANCAKE SOUND OR CHURRO
FRENCH TOAST?
THOSE ARE SOME OF THE FUN ITEMS
AT THE HUDSON CAFE.
>> BREAKFAST IS MY FAVORITE
MEAL.
IT MAKES A PERFECT SENSE FOR OUR
LOCATION TO HAVE BREAKFAST ONLY.
EVERYONE KNEW THE HUDSONS
DEPARTMENT STORE AND WE THOUGHT
IT’S A GREAT PLACE TO PUT IT
HERE AND NAME IT HUDSON’S CAFE.
>> Michelle: IT’S A FUN RELAXED
CUSTOMER.
>> ONE OF OUR FIRST CUSTOMERS
WAS TONY.
HE SAID, LET ME DO YOUR WALL.
AND I GAVE HIM SOME IDEAS AND HE
BLEW US OUT OF THE WATER.
>> Michelle: IT’S A NOD TO THEIR
GOAL.
>> THE RESURGENCE OF DOWNTOWN,
WE WANTED TO BE PART OF IT AND
PART OF THE THRIVING CITY AND I
HAVE MANY MEMORIES DOWN HERE.
>> Michelle: BRUNCH IS THE NAME
OF THE GAME, FROM SWEET
BREAKFAST TREATS TO HARVEY
SANDWICHES AND KNOWN FOR FRESH
SQUEEZE ORANGE JUICE AND BLOODY
MARY.
>> EVERYTHING IS FRESH-MADE.
WE HAVE A LOT OF FUN WITH FOOD
HERE.
>> Michelle: ENJOY IT IN THE
DINING ROOM, THE PATIO, OR TO
GO.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
>> HAVE A GREAT DAY.
>> YOU, TOO.
>> Michelle: LET’S SEE WHAT WE
HAVE.
WE HAVE THE APPLE WALNUT FRENCH
TOAST, CINNAMON RAISIN FRENCH
TOAST AND HAS DELICIOUS APPLE
CRUMBLE THAT GETS PUT ON TOP.
NEXT, WE HAVE THE VERY, VERY
FRENCH TOAST WHICH IS LIKE A
GIANT DELICIOUS SWEET BREAKFAST
SANDWICH.
SO IT’S REGULAR FRENCH TOAST
WITH A BANANA CREAM CHEESE
FILLING AND TOPPED WITH BERRIES
AND A NICE DRIZZLE.
CHIPOTLE CHICKEN, IT’S A
SANDWICH.
IT’S CAJUN CHICKEN BREAST WITH
HOMEMADE CHIPOTLE MAYO AND SWEET
POTATO FRIES.
THIS IS AN OMELET WITH RYE BREAD
ON THE SIDE.
THIS IS CHURRO FRENCH TOAST WITH
TWO DIPPING SAUCE AND CINNAMON
ROLL PANCAKES.
>> IT’S FRESH, FUN, AND THEY
SHARE THE SAME PASSION AS I DO.
IT’S HOSPITALITY AND WE LOVE
TAKING CARE OF OUR GUESTS.
>> Tati: ALL OF THAT LOOKED
AMAZING.
AND JOINING US IS MICHELLE
OLIVER.
SO WHAT ATTRACTED YOU TO THE
HUDSON CAFE?
>> I’VE BEEN THERE ONCE BEFORE
AND I TRIED THAT CINNAMON ROLL
PANCAKE AND IT STUCK IN MY MIND.
GOING TO BRUNCH MAKES YOU FEEL
LIKE YOU’RE BACK TO NORMAL.
SO IT’S OPEN, HAS BEEN OPEN, AND
I ENJOY THE FOOD.
>> Tati: SOUNDS GOOD.
SO LET’S TALK ABOUT THE SAFETY
MEASURES THEY’VE IMPLEMENTED SO
EVERYONE KNOWS THEY CAN BE
COMFORTABLE WHEN THEY GO.
>> Michelle: THEY’RE AT 50%
CAPACITY AND ALL THE TABLES ARE
6 FEET APART.
THEY REQUIRE A MASK WHEN YOU
ENTER.
ALL OF THEIR STAFF WEARS MASKS.
THEY ALSO HAVE WHAT I THINK IS
KIND OF COOL, A QR CODE FOR THE
MENU SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO DEAL
WITH A PAPER MENU SOMEONE ELSE
HAS TOUCHED.
IT’S ON YOUR OWN PHONE.
THEY HAVE THE PLEXIGLASS UP IN
FRONT OF THE HOSTESS STAND AND
WHERE YOU DO THE TAKEOUT AT.
YOU CAN ALSO -- I THINK IT’S A
NICE THING THAT THE GOVERNOR --
SORRY, THAT THE MAYOR HAS DONE,
THERE IS FREE PARKING IN FRONT
OF THEIR PLACE, TOO, FOR 10
MINUTES.
SO IF YOU WANNA ORDER CARRY-OUT
AND TAKE IT HOME, YOU CAN PARK
FOR FREE.
>> Tati: THAT’S PERFECT!
>> Michelle: YES.
>> Tati: LET’S TALK ABOUT
DINING-IN OPTIONS THERE.
>> Michelle: DINE IN OR THERE’S
A NICE PATIO, ABOUT 5 TABLES OUT
THERE, COVERED WITH A NICE
AWNING.
AND IT’S FUN TO SEE THE HUSTLE
AND BUSTLE OF THE CITY.
THEY’VE DECORATED IT WITH LITTLE
FLOWER POTS AND THAT’S COOL.
THEY HAVE DINE-IN AND THEY DO
DELIVERY AND CARRY-OUT FOR DOOR
DASH, UBER EATS, FOR A
CONTACT-FREE THING.
AND THEY DO WALK-UP CARRY-OUT.
YOU WAIT OUTSIDE UNTIL YOUR FOOD
IS READY.
>> Tati: GIVE US THE LOCATION
ONE MORE TIME.
