PODCAST #360: OVER EASY
A perfect over easy egg is bright, pours all over the plate and good to the last drop. This Arizona restaurant is just the same! We sat down with Over Easy’s Corporate Executive Chef, Justin Woodard, as well as the Queen Creek Owner, Jeff Terpay, and learned about this breakfast staple in the valley. They wont turn over their hollandaise sauce recipe, but they did allow us to turn on our mics at their Chandler location for this can’t miss episode. Be sure to visit your nearest Over Easy, in person or at the following:
