Sometimes a menu item just seems to be an out-of-the-ordinary dud, and that was my experience with Revival’s Salt-N-Pepa sandwich. It’s a breakfast sandwich with egg, bacon, cheddar and jack cheese, and maple mustard butter on a salt-and-pepper biscuit. The egg was a solid square block that felt reheated rather than freshly cooked (to be honest, it was McMuffin egg-esque) topped with a barely melted slice of cheese. I was enticed by the butter and the biscuit, and neither remotely delivered. The biscuit was so thick that the spread got totally lost, and it was so dry and crumbly that the whole thing fell apart after about two bites. I’ve enjoyed breakfast and lunch at Revival in the past (and we’ve got its founder in the Read column this week), so I don’t want to write off the whole place – but this is really not the thing to order.
