The Most Whimsical Pancake-Wrapped Sausage Breakfast

I’ve heard great things about Jam Café, and when a friend suggested we meet there for brunch, I jumped at the chance. Jam Café is always busy, no matter what day you go on, and this day was no exception. However, once we got in, I instantly forgot about the wait. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the service was prompt and friendly. Once I peered at the menu, the item that jumped out was The Three Pigs. Juicy maple sausages wrapped in deep-fried pancake batter, served with fresh fruit and house-made maple butter. Who could resist?

I’ve never heard of a breakfast-style take on the corn dog, so I was instantly intrigued. I remember enjoying crispy corn dogs at the PNE as a child, and this unique breakfast dish brought me back to those childhood summers. The name also triggered nostalgia, as The Three Little Pigs is a favourite book from my childhood.

The presentation of The Three Little Pigs was simple, yet grand enough to grab the attention of those sitting around me, who asked what I ordered. Three breakfast corn dogs sat in a line, alongside a variety of colourful fruits and a small bowl of golden maple butter. Powdered sugar generously dusted everything off, and I dug in with excitement.

The maple butter was sweet, creamy, and a bit salty, the perfect complement to the savoury sausages. And the fruit was the perfect side dish, freshening up what otherwise would have been quite a heavy meal. With such a large serving size, this dish is definitely worth sharing.

My experience at Jam Café was very pleasant. While the wait to get in was a little long, the quality of service, delectable food, and welcoming atmosphere made it all worth the wait. If you’re curious like I was, check out Jam Café for your next brunch date.
