On A Mission: Best Brunch in Columbus / A BLATE!

Not too long ago one of my best friends Angela, the one who I mentioned recently got engaged, and myself started something fun together..... we're on a mission to find the best brunch in Columbus!

We even gave our journey a little name, "Katie and Angela's Brunch Stops of Columbus", and we may or may not have a little scale where we rate the restaurants after we eat at them.

There are so many great restaurants here that we thought it's a great way to not only spend more time together (and talk about wedding planning!), but also an excellent way of seeing more of our city, support small businesses, try new places, eat fantastic food, and find those hidden gems!

We have a list of about 10 places so far on our list to hit (I'm sure more will be added as we go on), and this weekend we finished our second stop (first stop was Katalina's), which was Skillet.

Skillet: "Ingredient driven, comfort food with an edge"
-located Downtown/close to German Village

 
One of the things we liked about Skillet the most is that it's all local and their menu changes daily - maybe even during service!

I got an iced chai latte to drink (so so good!) and Angela got their iced tea. Possibly our best decision of our trip was to split one of their famous cinnamon rolls.... I mean-really? Look at it!

 

This cinnamon roll was to die for... not only was it HUGE (could share between 3 people even), but it was soft, had powdered sugar on top, and warm. We devoured it in seconds! Definitely get one if you visit Skillet. For our brunch, we both got the Potato and Goat Cheese Egg Scramble. It looked too good to pass up and it was calling our names! The portions were so big...I ate half of mine. While we loved what we got, we agreed we wished they put more cheese in it and added more of the tomato topping on top. 

A few things about Skillet:
-No reservations, walk-in only.
-Be prepared to wait. When we went, the line was wrapped around the side of the building! But worth it.
-Very small on the inside, but clean and such a cute atmosphere!

In case any of you were wondering, we liked Katalina's food over Skillet's overall (you know, minus the cinnamon roll!)

*If you have a girlfriend who loves eating out as much as you do and trying new places, consider doing something like this! We've had a blast so far and we've only just begun!

Besides eating my weight in food, I had a fun blogger date with Sarah and Katie who came to Columbus to shop at Easton! Me and Billy met them for lunch at Cooper's Hawk Winery and Restaurant (one of our favorites as you can tell-I've mentioned this place a couple times in the past month) and had a blast. We drank some wine, bonded over starting blogs randomly, and shared many laughs. :)

What I Wore:

Target top (recently), A&F super skinny jeans, F21 rose gold belt, Sam Edelman flats...

 

They were just as sweet as I imagined them to be. I loved hearing about Floyd and Brutus (their doggies!) in person and all about their lives in Cincinnati. I am SO happy that I finally had the chance to meet them! Plus, we don't live that far apart so I expect many dates in our future...I mean unless they think me and Billy are totally crazy. ;)


BUT WAIT! Don't leave yet.

On Friday night, we went to my parents house to drink some wine, sit out on the patio, and take the bikes for a ride and it was honestly the most gorgeous night I've seen in all of my 28 years living (slight exaggeration possibly).....

 

Ah! The sunset was absolutely stunning.

and so were these two little studs, ha....
