E is for eggs

Eggs may seem entry-level, but Columbus restaurants know how to showcase the breakfast cornerstone. Leave it to chef-owner Kevin Caskey’s Skillet to give local eggs the royal treatment, whether paired with a tender steak or layered atop creamy grits. Starliner Diner boosts the egg game by mixing them with black beans, veggies and jack cheese in zesty chilaquiles and huevos rancheros. At Geordie’s Restaurant, kick off weekend brunch with a Scotch egg, a medium-boiled egg wrapped in sausage, breaded and fried. And the long-running favorite Hellas Carryout in Shawnee Hills whips up close to 30 different flavor combinations in omelet form.
