🍳🥂 Another Broken Egg Cafe: Boozy Brunch, Private Equity, and the Egg Price Police 🥂🍳 This week, Juliet Kaufman (@jewlkoff) joins me to crack open (like an egg, get it??) the history of Another Broken Egg Cafe, a brunch chain that started in a turn-of-the-century summer home and grew national. We explore how a little restaurant called Broken Egg Cafe became ANOTHER Broken Egg Cafe, how you can run a restaurant without chefs, and why brunch might just be the perfect business model. Plus, Yelp teaches us that the price of eggs is apparently a matter for law enforcement. 🥚 Why Broken Egg Cafe Became ANOTHER Broken Egg Cafe 👨🍳 No Chefs Required!
