I had the opportunity to shoot some pictures for a new restaurant in the Springs called "Brother Luck Street Eats" a few days ago. The head chef and owner, Brother Luck, is one of those characters that loves what he does and oozes his passion about food to anyone that happens into his restaurant. Currently his eatery shares a wall with a blue-collar bar in town, but I suspect he will outgrow the space soon. Eating here reminded me of why people go out to dinner in the first place, namely to eat food that is fantastic and creative. Most of the time we get mediocre food full of calories and lard that we could cook better ourselves. Brother's food however is a real experience for the senses. His style is east coast comfort food meets (and takes advantage of sexually) hipster culinary infusions. What you get are dishes like mac and cheese with pork cheeks, scorpion spiced chicken wings, and hamburger with bacon jam. I'm already missing that bacon jam! For clarification, Brother Love is not a Maori. His face was painted in celebration of his masquerade themed dinner party.
