Corned Beef Hash at BonBon in Cleveland

50 Cities 50 Hashes: Heather Johnson at BonBon in Cleveland!

I recently was invited on a blogger trip to Cleveland by the folks at Positively Cleveland. One of the stops was this fabulous brunch spot – BonBon in Ohio City, one of Cleveland’s oldest neighborhoods. We were there for Sunday brunch and were planning on it being our last meal in the city – and we would not be disappointed.

BonBon Cleveland

It took a lot of willpower to not just pick that giant cinnamon roll plate up and bring it to my table. Seriously – does that not look amazing?!

BonBon Bakery

Our Columbus blogger tried this Vanilla Bean French Toast and yes – that’s corn sprinkled on top. I was a little scared off by it but he loved the sweetness of the corn and said it was fantastic!

I have been looking into hash recently because of my Hashcapades assignment – soon I’ll be finding someplace in Cincinnati that serves up some hash – so when I saw a Corned Beef Hash on the menu at BonBon – I had to try it.

BonBon CBH

This corned beef hash wasn’t like the kind that came out of a can in the 80s – this had brussels sprouts, peppers, onions, mushrooms and a fried egg. Now when I saw “fried egg” – I thought there would be a fried egg on top. Um no. There is a brown sphere on the top of the plate – it’s like a soft boiled egg that is fried! While I love all the ingredients – I didn’t love this hash. The corned beef was really dry and it was all in need of moisture or a sauce. I can’t wait to explore the Hashcapades cookbook and find one to make myself!

BonBon Donuts

While we were all stuffed from brunch – the Cleveland girls said we had to try their Cinnamon Sugar Donuts served with preserves, house-made chocolate sauce and sweetened mascarpone. These were light and airy little donut holes and were delicious! It was perfect to have a sweet treat after the rich brunch.

Why Should You Go? The pastries alone are drool-worthy and the brunch has a lot of unique offerings you just don’t find every day. BonBon was a great brunch spot for sure and I was glad to finally try some hash!
