Mitch and Jen Prensky's old-school cereal bar: Kid-tested, Supper-approved

Courtesy of Supper our kind of buffet "We've always got this rep of being really serious, but we're really not," says Mitch Prensky says of he and wife Jennifer's restaurant Supper. "When you boil it down, I'm just an idiot who serves hot dogs and cereal." I don't know about idiot, but dude does do hot dogs and cereal, the latter during brunch, when the dining room's handsome hutch becomes a buffet of sugar-frosted goodness. "Jen and I are sugared-cereal freaks," says Prensky. "These are the things you usually outgrow when you're an adult, but we've never outgrown it. We're like Seinfeld; in our house we have that one kitchen shelf completely filled with cereal." At Supper, brunch-goers can expect a selection of Lucky Charms, Alphabits, the Capn' entire line (sporting throwbacks these days), General Mills monsters, Crunchy O's and vintage finds like Quisp and King Vitaman that we are far, far too young too be acquainted with. Seven bucks earns all-you-can-eat status, and while you gorge on delicious HFCS and Red #9, let the knowledge that at least the milk, sourced from the grass-fed cows at Trickling Springs dairy, is good for you. And if sweet cereals ain't your poison, the "adult" brunch menu is a trove of house-made sage-scented breakfast sausage, dreamy Anson Mills grits and regal red velvet waffles with whipped cream cheese and cherries. Get at it. And make reservations; last time we popped in on a whim, the hostess politely informed us the restaurant was booked. Sat at Supper's bar instead. I could think of worse places to be on a Sunday afternoon. Rock Colors Posted 2010-12-13 10:42:47

Would be nice if you could also get a bowl or two for $2 or $3. We didn't feel like spending $7 for a few bowls of cereal instead of the full brunch we ordered. But a bowl of Captain Crunch to kick it off would have been perfect.
