The first thing I noticed when I entered the Copper Gourmet was the aroma of fresh-baked bread. It made my mouth water. The second thing was the pervasive mauve and blue decor. We were greeted and seated in the Rose Room, a wonderful room decorated with numerous umbrellas and hefty rubber chickens. Our waiter, whose name was Paco, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were applesauce, popcorn, cornbread, and sweet potatoes. I decided to order Scrambled eggs Florentine and my companion, Katy, ordered Pizza Picante. Paco seemed generous as he brought in our orders about thirty-six minutes later. I had an egg salad sandwich on the side, and Katy had a bowl of cabbage. A bottle of rum was a perfect complement for my scrambled eggs.
The Scrambled eggs was synthetic but a bit prickly. The common way to cook with chili powder is to heat first, but our chef chooses to grill, then blend it into the scrambled eggs. Katy thought the pizza seemed a bit rancid, but said she would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about one hundred eighty-nine dollars, which I think is terrific. Overall, the food was ludicrous, the atmosphere was acceptable, and the service was sensational. If you are an impish person, this might be the ideal place for you.
