The Otis Cafe and Bodacious Brown Bread

The Otis Cafe may well be the tiniest eatery with the biggest reputation. They certainly adhere to the belief that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and the size of their portions back them up. Be prepared to strap on the old feedbag, or so to speak. Served along side the breakfast entrees is an amazing brown bread heavy on flavor and color with dark molasses. I offer you a link to that recipe as well as a sensational adaptation by my friend, Teri Burstedt. Enjoy!
