What's in a name.
Restaurateur Eli Boyer tells Dana Casadei of the MetroIntelligencer that the name of his new breakfast joint, Iggy’s Eggies, at 34 W. Grand River in Capitol Park in downtown Detroit, came from his three-year-old daughter.
“I was throwing random names out at her – she calls eggs ‘eggies’ – and one of them happened to be Iggy’s,” he said. “Then she yelled ‘eggies’ right after.”
The restaurant, which is a walk-up window, is open from 8-11 a.m. on weekdays. It opened last week.
The menu, according to the Detroit Free Press, includes breakfast sandwiches ranging from $3.50-$6.
Casadei reports that this marks the third restaurant for Boyer with chefs Jennifer Jackson and Justin Tootla, who also run Lover’s Only on Griswold in downtown Detroit and Voyager in Ferndale
