![]() At MeMe’s, it’s a wellspring of inspired delights, beginning with complimentary bowls of mixed junk-food cereals-Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Froot Loops, Lucky Charms-to snack on while you decide what else to eat.Īnything here that began as dough is an especially good bet: Clark and Willis, who oversee the dining room and kitchen, respectively, met while working at Ovenly, a bakery in Greenpoint. At most restaurants, brunch is an afterthought, an easy way to make a high return on eggs and mimosas for those dining, it’s often hell. One of the best things on the menu is a brunch dish called Milk and Cereal, which reimagines not only that archetypal combination (it’s a dome of luscious, tangy yogurt panna cotta so shiny that you can see the overhead lights reflected in its surface, ringed by supremes of pink-fleshed Cara Cara orange, wedges of kiwi, and a scattering of Corn Pops) but also the concept of brunch as a whole. If the theme of MeMe’s Diner, which opened in November, in Prospect Heights, is the subversion of norms-its owners, Bill Clark and Libby Willis, recently described it as a “very, very gay restaurant” in an interview with Jarry, a magazine that “explores where food and queer culture intersect”-the proof is in the literal pudding.
