The Best Corn Beef Hash In the Whole State of Rhode Island

First day home we always try & visit Ed's Roost in East Greenwich Rhode Island. This restaurant is walking distance from Elderidge Elementary , a school that I attended a LONG time ago.  Break dancing was really hot and Jason Shepherd could do a head spin therefor the most popular kid in class.  

Anyway, my dad loved this place. The same guy has been cooking here for decades, he is very strange; a giant of a man with long scraggly white hair sporting a white-ish sweatband. He lurches about shocking people that happened to experience a sighting, but HOLY CRAP the hash is amazing.  I have only recently enjoyed the pleasurable sin that is eating pork (and chicken & beef & duck & quail & lamb).  I have long watched in silent "aw" of other's piling this delicacy into their mouths while I had the usual dry toast with tomato.  

I've had it twice now & pepé cote would be proud.  I think about it often.

  

Brooklyn Breakfast in a Half Pan

Prospect Heights ~ Brooklyn ~ Our Destination.  

In order to honor our host Senior Ricc Sheridan ( brother Dean's drum teacher & mentor http://www.earlgreyhound.com/ ) we felt that a bone-in rib eye was in order.  Granted, Ricc's on the road a lot with the band.  Therefore, he lacks in the kitchen department aka no pots or pans.  Thank god we brought the traveling kitchen (will post that soon!).  

I thought that I had packed my La Cruset grill pan & a hotel half pan. Unfortunately, I forgot the grill pan & that was the entire reason that I even bought this amazing steak. Let me just say also that the tiny neighborhood market was full of the freshest, highest quality meats & produce that I have seen, which is probably one of the reasons people love this town. 

Oh well, we just cooked everything in our half pan.  it was a challenge but we were able to get a beautiful sear on the steak, then wilted the spinach in the tiny amount of rendered fat.  Eggs were last & we added some fresh sheep feta at the end to round out the breakfast.  Then used the Mexican hot sauce that we brought from austin as a condiment.  Yummy town, USA.

Delicious!

Delicious! This-morning's fresh eggs ready to scramble for our guests. The color and texture of these eggs are truly amazing. Deep orange, rich velvety yolks.
