Haberdish
We love Haberdish all the time, but the modern twist on Southern comfort is especially good for brunch. Order the cinnamon roll to start and then, if you’ve not indulged the Haberdish deviled eggs yet, brunch is as good a time as any to dine on the smokey whites covered in chives and paprika.
