Day by Day - 21st and Sansom St



Day by Day...is how most of their patrons have to live.
If you want to blend in here then you better bring your walker, oxygen tank, wheelchair or any other geriatric device you can gather cause holy shit a lot of old people come here.  Imagine if they were to host bingo night at the Bengay factory and that's close to the demographic you'll see frequenting Day by Day.  Ok maybe that's an exaggeration but you could safely say a good half are in the twilight years of their lives.  Now having made this observation you would not expect this place to serve anything acceptable for people who still chew with their own teeth.  Oh how wrong you would be.

1) Brunch Burger w/ Fried Egg, Bacon, Cheddar - $10.00
This dish is pulled from their ever changing, here one week gone the next, portion of the menu.  Now having just had it, this fact, makes me incredibly sad.  I mean seriously a burger, fried egg and bacon, talk about covering your bases, the only thing missing from this is a rack of lamb.  The burger was pretty good, cooked medium rare like I asked and juicy.  The egg was perfectly fried as to not create a flood of yolk when I bit into it but also retained the yolky goodness taste.  Bacon was good as well, not burnt or inversely soggy.  Everything combined this turned out to be one of the best things I've ordered from here as well as one of the best lunches I've had in a while.  Now there was a flaw to this order.  The potatoes looked and tasted like the were leftovers from their breakfast/brunch service.  This sadly, as I've come to experience, is the norm with their dishes served with roasted potatoes.  But besides this issue I give this delicious burger a [9/10]


2) Classic Black Bread BLT w/ Avocado $7.50
The key to a good BLT is the crispness of the bacon and this sandwich delivers the goods.  My friend orders this sandwich all the time and has the same reaction to it every time.  Delicious  [8.5/10]

Overall LTE score [7/10] This place has quickly become a regular lunch destination with its outdoor seating and ever changing menu options.  Anything from big burgers to fish to omelettes are served here and for the most part served well.  Today's lunch was particularly good as the individual scores show but overall Day by Day is a solid lunch time eat.
