Over Easy, the popular brunch concept from celebrity Chef Aaron May, will take up residence in Peoria’s currently-under-construction shopping center, Shops at Lake Pleasant, which also includes an In-N-Out, Raising Cane’s, and Handel’s Ice Cream.
According to the website of property developer, Vestar, the shopping center is due to open this fall.
A representative of Over Easy could not be reached for comment.
These details come a little less than a month after Over Easy told What Now Phoenix about three other Valley locations that are planned for 2023, including Chandler, Glendale, and Tempe.
Over Easy was founded by May in 2008, becoming something of an overnight success and reaching national acclaim – despite the fact that there’s only one location outside Arizona, in Florida – when it was featured on numerous Food Network tv shows, most famously Guy Fieri’s Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, while simultaneously receiving write-ups in prominent media outlets, and earning the title as one of America’s Best Brunches in 2012 by Travel + Leisure.
The menu consists of classics such as Steak & Eggs, Biscuit & Gravy, and a Southwest Skillet, as well as more inspired fare such as the corndog-like Golden Waffle Dogs, Breakfast Burger, and Hatch 505 Eggs Benedict – made with smoked pulled pork and hatch green chile on a split biscuit served with choice of potato. Meanwhile, the restaurant also has a menu of “Brunchtails,” or brunch-adjacent cocktails, including a Spiked Chai, Adult Chocolate Milk, and Brunch Mule.
As the company writes on its website, “Over Easy is one of the first to expand on the concept of day-time eateries and continues to be a fan favorite, offering a modern twist on breakfast and brunch classics along with day-time cocktails. All created to provide guests a memorable dining experience.”
